What people love about Alaska Tours from Anchorage
- Alaska Adventure - 20 Days
I wanted to visit Alaska but with so much to do and see and with limited resources for a solo traveler, i decided to book a tour. When looking for a tour, i looked for a company that could offer me the best value, unique experiences and additional expeditions. Along came Dave & Nat. I love that these are two individuals who truly love what they are doing. They go above and beyond to caterer to your needs and to make sure that your adventure is memorable.. they are both fun and knowledgeable. Dave is very informative and is a great cook, while Nat is very accomodating and helps to make all feel welcomed. Asides from the great value, i loved being able to travel in their concerted school bus. So much better than being in a cramped van sitting elbow to elbow with fellow travelers. I have traveled with many different companies, and Infinite Adventures was by far the best all around tour company thatbi have been with. If only they were located in South America and Africa. You can't go wrong with Nat & Dave.
- Grand Alaskan Adventure
Claudia was amazing. Tour was amazing
- Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
I traveled in June 2018 around the Kenai Peninsula. We saw 15 moose right on the road and had so many opportunities to take great pictures. I especially loved the sea kayaking at the remote camp as we saw a hump back whale! I also did the optional bear viewing at Katmai NP and saw many bears very close. If you do the trip make sure to go on the bear viewing!
