What people love about Alaska Tours for Seniors
The moment I first saw the blue converted school bus on the website, I knew this was exactly for me. A couple of previous experiences have taught me that if you encounter an opportunity like traveling around Alaska in a converted school bus, do not hesitate to take it! It is not just about the destination but also the journey. I will always cherish the seemingly all-too-brief time camping in the Kenai Peninsula. As it was in August, the weather was at first a tad disagreeable, but it only made it sweeter when it finally yielded to some beautiful days. And thus, a cascade of lovely memories: the fragrant wildflowers blanketing a mountainside while hiking to Exit Glacier, eating the best rockfish tacos of my life in Seward, closing down the Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer with new friends from the Infinite group, observing in awe bears in Katmai National Park, beachside camping on Homer Spit, enjoying a dinner of freshly caught halibut at sunset on Hesketh Island, sea kayaking in Kachemak Bay, watching orcas breaching at dusk, huddling around a campfire making s’mores. We had fantastic guides in Natalie, Dave, and Carolina (and little Tayo). They worked very hard to accommodate us, from cooking breakfast early in the morning to organizing activities to always having campfire wood. If you can secure a spot with their company, then you are in for a memorable adventure! The blue school bus brought together a group of like-minded individuals who truly love to travel. There are many ways to see Alaska, but this is truly one of a kind.
