    This was the best trip for my fiancé and myself! I looked around for months trying to find the ideal company to travel with. A coworker of mine took an Alaska trip with Bindlestiff tours in 2023 and still talks about it. I wanted to make sure everything was going to perfect because I wanted to pop the question in a beautiful and remote landscape. She said yes!!!! We may even come back to Alaska for our honeymoon. Thank you Becca for making this experience a memory to cherish forever. I hope to travel with your company again in other parts of the country. 5 stars!

    Good tour, Good value for money. 3 days camping with no facilities in McCarthy was bit too extreme (no running water, no electricity just a pit toilet) Brance (Branch!) was a excellent and enthusiastic guide. Thank you.

    Fireweed Ice Cream! Anywhere that makes ice cream as delicious as this from flowers - is a PRIZE in my book. Super fun experience, and lots of tasty food. I traveled with 2 friends - and ate lots of new food, new ice cream flavors - had delicious coffee (yes, AK has awesome coffee), drank tasty beers at the breweries - and of course relished the sites this awesome state has. This was a great tour company - thank you, Bindlestiff. We loved the camping. My favorite part was Denali - great hikes, and sites. And we were lucky to see Denali in full! Camp nights were fun, and cooking outside is always an adventure. Our guide, Joe, was really friendly and helpful - thank you for your insights to this beautiful state. We will definitely be back to Alaska - so much to see!

    Midnight Sun We just returned from 3 weeks in Alaska - myself and my husband. We traveled with Bindlestiff in 2015 - so we were excited to see them doing tours in AK now, too. We went to the Utah parks with them the first time and now we went north. Thanks again for another fantastic trip - this one for sure brought a lot of adventure and A LOT of sunlight, wow, super cool. Bring your eye mask for camping!. We liked the starting hotel recommendation (Aloft) - we stayed here for 3 nights to see the sites around ANC. This state is certainly impressive - with towering mountains, glaciers, bears, white water, and world-class fishing. So happy we booked a long tour to see a bunch in a short amount of time. Good itinerary - next time we will add on the Seward portion, too. This is definitely not our last time coming to AK. The passion that the guides exude for this special region is palpable - so happy to have come and gone on a tour. Thank you, Bindlestiff for another stellar trip.

    ALASKA!!! Bindlestiff is a company I am familiar with - so it was a no-brainer to travel with them again, thanks for launching Alaska tours! Yippie! This is my 3rd tour with them, I first traveled with them in 2012 - then again 2016 and now. Seeing some of Alaska's National Parks has been on my bucket list for quite some time. Did not disappoint! A really well-thought-out itinerary, not too rushed but also packed with adventure. I traveled solo - and had a nice group to chat with. Our guide was awesome - and balanced everyone's needs - and requests. I really loved Valdez - granted we had good weather, as I hear this place can be very rainy. A fun kayak trip out to Shoup Bay to see the glacier. Very cool having otters swim right up next to you. I love the locals also in AK - really friendly and always wanting to have a chat - super fun atmosphere. Thank you Bindlestiff for another epic journey. I will be back for more tours you launch!

    Family Fun in Alaska First time to Alaska with the family - myself, my wife and our 3 kids. Super fun experience for everyone. A huge accolade to this company for the care put into the trip. We loved meeting travelers from all around the globe - we had a full group of 12 on this tour. Our "young adults" loved everything, especially the camping. This trip is definitely not a luxury experience - but way more fun than staying in fancy hotels! Setting up tents, cooking outside, hiking to glaciers, white water rafting in Denali, ice hiking in Kenniccott! Great explanation of the history - and great music in the van that went along with the places we visited. Mosquito bug net came in handy, and eye masks for sleeping - a plus! This was one of the last family trips before all the kids are all in college - so it was good to have the family all together and integrate them into traveling with others. Our guide, Charlie, did a great job at connecting with everyone, especially my boys. Thank you, Bindlestiff and Charlie, for this trip of a lifetime!

      No solo supplement- Tents are twin share and solo travelers will be paired with another client of the same gender. Also you may request a solo tent- we can usually accommodate at no extra charge.
