What people love about Alaska Tours for Seniors
Traveled to Alaska with my boys prior to them going off to college. Infinite Adventures provided us with some of our best memories together. They were very knowledgeable, great at spotting wildlife and the Bear Viewing trip was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Infinite Adventures!
Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
- Majestic Alaska
This trip was excellent! It's a very busy itinerary with not much rest, but so many great things to see and do that lack of sleep was worth it! Our Travel Director, Kris made the bus rides very enjoyable and he was very knowledgeable of the area -- just an all-around great guy.
- Grand Alaskan Adventure
This was a really great tour; it is short, but a great and economical introduction to a beautiful part of the country!
