About this trip

Ten days on the road through Alaska’s wildest landscapes, traveling by RV through mountains, glaciers, remote highways, and coastal towns.

We’ll go ice-climbing on a glacier, kayak between floating icebergs, hike through alpine valleys, meet sled dogs, take a ferry through Alaska’s dramatic coastline, and warm up in a wild outdoor sauna surrounded by nature.

One of the highlights of the journey will be a private boat expedition into the fjords, where we’ll search for whales, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and other wildlife while cruising past towering glaciers and rugged coastline.

September brings crisp air, autumn colors, quieter roads, and the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.

This is not a traditional tour. It is a small-group expedition filled with adventure, spontaneous stops, shared meals, remote camps, and unforgettable days in the Alaskan wilderness.
