- AIrene· July 8th, 2023Seeing three kinds of whales in Seward was really lovely. Walking on the glacier at McCarthy was very special.Show moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by Explore!
- WWendy· July 24th, 2022pack for all weather types and persistent mosquitos. Alaska is vast [so a lot of distance travelled in the tour bus], incredibly beautiful and lots of opportunity to see wildlifeShow moreTrip date: July 2022
Martha· August 22nd, 2021It was pretty close to the description given. But I could have done with longer times for outdoors activities. Like the Thursday when we did thatcher pass could at least have gone back n a two mile walk or a guided tour of the mine. Did not know why we had to hurry on to anchorage when no activity was booked thereShow more

- MMairiMacpherson· September 1st, 2019Good but not for the faint-hearted. Long drives & early starts. As much action as you want in your free time. Variety of accommodation, some rather basic. Circuit gives good snapshot of Alaska in a short time & packs in a lot.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewMany thanks for your review, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip. There are some long drives to be able to cover so much ground, but we hope that the spectacular scenery en route made these worth it.Trip date: August 2019
- Gary· July 8th, 2019There was much too much time on the road. Much of it over dirt roads. The accommodations were poor to average. Dali was great. The other locations were average & not worth the travel time or the low quality of the accommodations. The Guide Batina was great, but the plan of the trip could be improved.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewHi, thank you for your comments – I am sorry to hear you feel aspects of this trip could have been improved, please be assured your feedback is being reviewed by our Product & Operations Managers for the area.

Asked on February 24th, 2024Is this tour from the 5th July to 17th July 2025 a definite departure
- Explore!Operator•Written February 2024
At this stage the 5th July 2025 departure is not guaranteed, we have one passenger booked and normally require a minimum of four to guarantee. As the trip is 2025 it has only been on sale for a few weeks so it is not uncommon for numbers to be low at this early stage. You are welcome to book a space on the trip, we would just advise not to book any flight arrangements until the trip is guaranteed.
