What people love about Alaska Tours in July
- Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
WOW! What an amazing trip! My nephew and I traveled to Alaska for the 9-day Kenai Adventure. This trip exceeded all expectations! Dave and Natalie are wonderful....highly experienced, knowledgeable, organized, laid back, and fun! The converted school bus was unique....comfortable with plenty of space. The food was great...Natalie was very accommodating to my vegan diet. I loved the family atmosphere of the group and how everyone would pitch in with the chores. The tents were easy to set up and take down. The campsites were in areas with stunning views. Each day brought a new adventure....wildlife cruise, hiking, sea kayaking, and the highlight of the trip....bear viewing at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve! Definitely the best adventure evah!!! Shout out to hard working Carolina and beautiful boy Tayo:) Denali 2022!!!
- Alaska Denali Expedition - 12 Days
I had the most wonderful time on the tour. Natalie and Aron were wonderful guides. We saw the most gorgeous place in Alaska some of them a bit off the beaten track. The group was great fun we laughed together cooked and ate together and shared a variety of outings and activities. The highlight for me was an overnight stay in the wilderness and going down the McLaren river by canoe. Can highly recommend the tour. I had a blast!!!
- Majestic Alaska
This was the best tour I’ve EVER been on. From the people to the places, it was a wonderful adventure. Trafalgar’s Alaska staff may have ruined me for all other tour companies.
