Alaska travel guide

During your travel to Alaska nothing compares to the sight of a monumental glacier calving icebergs into the sea. In College Fjord sixteen wild rivers of ice line up to the port. The twin Sawyer Glaciers form a massive ice wall to highlight the stunning beauty of Tracy Arm.
Alaskan cruise liners sail close to the rivers of ice in Glacier Bay National Park. In addition, smaller boats carry sightseers on day trips to the blue ice of Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords National Park. These adventure tours are available in Valdez, Whittier and Seward. The day trips are the best experience if you want to hear the legendary thunder of calving glaciers and see huge faces of blue ice...

Adventure tour

Adventure tours aboard small planes and helicopters provide both an overreaching view and sometimes a glacier landing. Flightseeing companies which land on the ice provide cold-weather gear and guide you on a safe area of the glacier.
Whale watching is a favorite activity during a tour Alaska. Humpback and killer whales are present here in large numbers. Sea lions and seals are also abundant, sea otters can be seen occasionally. The eagles are everywhere as are a multitude of sea birds. Generally calm waters are an ideal setting for viewing and photographing wildlife and scenery.

Once hunted for oil and bone, the whales of the northwest coast are today recognized as being unusually intelligent and gentle creatures. The most common whales in Alaska are orcas (killer whales) and humpbacks and are main attractions for all travelers.

Denali National Park - the bear country

One of the things that makes Alaska so special for travelers is that all three species of North American bears flourish there. At least one bear can be seen during a travel in Alaska's regions. A vacationer is there never far from one, because Alaska is the bear country! Brown bears (grizzly bears) are found from the islands of southeastern Alaska to the arctic region. Black bears inhabit most of Alaska's forests. Polar bears frequent the ice and tundra of extreme northern and western side of the state.
Alaska is home to over 98 percent of U.S.A.' brown bear population, so it is no wonder that there the bear viewing is a popular attraction for travelers. Viewing a bear in the wildness of Alaska is a magic experience and often one of the highlights of an adventure vacation in Alaska. Denali National Park is a major destination during a tour of Alaska to view bears in their natural habitat. Each year tens of thousands of tourists board buses to travel all or part of the 90 mile road which go deep into Denali National Park.
