Overview

With the smallest groups in Alaska, deluxe rail journeys through remote wilderness, two nights inside Denali, and a wildlife cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park, our unique adventures show you more of Alaska’s extraordinary landscapes and abundant wildlife. Native culture, farm-to-table dining and spending time with lifelong residents plumb lesser-known facets of life in the Far North.


Wild Plus Wonderful Alaska Day 1 - Day 1 – Welcome to Fairbanks, Alaska
On arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted and escorted to the Pikes Waterfront Lodge. Settle in to your river view room and enjoy this terrific setting on the banks of the Chena River. A brief meeting with our expert Alaskan guide sets the stage for the adventures that await.

Day 2 - Day 2 – Exploring Fairbanks + Running with the Reindeer
Situated at the 64th Parallel, Fairbanks is very much a city of the far north. Surrounded by the imposing mountain ranges, pristine waterways and abundant wildlife of Central Alaska, it also boasts a charming downtown, thriving arts community and rich Alaska Native culture. Setting out this morning with our guide, you’ll get to know the varied facets of this vibrant river city. Heading north of town, you’ll also visit the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Viewpoint for an up-close view of this $8 billion engineering marvel. As you stand here watching this silver thread winding its way across the Alaskan wilderness, know that more than a million dollars of black gold is flowing through it every hour.
 
Next, enjoy an exclusive visit to a local farm in the picturesque Goldstream Valley, and learn about the family’s herd of reindeer as you walk with them through the towering conifers. Accompanied by one of the ranch’s owners, a lifelong Alaskan resident, you’ll learn about the natural history of this boreal forest as you follow these amazing creatures; the reindeer are domesticated but not trained, and sometimes decide to take their own route… so bring your spirit of adventure along with your camera!
 
This afternoon explore the Museum of the North, located on the Fairbanks Campus of the University of Alaska. This is the only research and teaching museum in Alaska, and its highly regarded collection of artifacts and specimens showcase the biological diversity and rich cultural traditions of the North. Then it’s on to the Morris Thompson Cultural Center for a private tour led by one of the museum’s docents followed by a private talk about the Aurora Borealis and life in the 49th State. We’ll end this day with dinner in a local restaurant and then return to our hotel.  Meals B+D

Day 3 - Day 3 – Nenana and Denali
This morning, our journey takes us to Denali. Along the way, we stop at historic Nenana, where President Harding drove the final golden spike into the Alaskan Railroad, marking its completion. As we approach Denali, the breathtaking vistas of the Nenana River Gorge greet us, signaling our imminent arrival.  We'll enjoy a short visit at the Denali Discovery Center, a newly built visitor center nestled on the shores of Otto Lake. Named after Otto Mackey, a Finnish Homesteader who settled in the late 1950s, the center provides a concise yet enriching presentation on the history of Denali.  After lunch, we check into our accommodations for the next two nights, the Denali Bluffs Hotel, situated at the edge of the National Park. Then, visit a Sled Dog Kennel, where we'll learn about these remarkable canines, their training, and their role in Alaska's renowned Iditarod race. Meals: B+L+D

[Please Note: As you may have learned, a significant landslide has cut off access to the remote interior of Denali National Park along part of the 92-mile-long Denali Park Road. While the park remains open, we stay on its edge and will venture in to explore during our two-day visit.]

Day 4 - Day 4 – Guided Adventure Deep Inside Denali National Park
Arise this morning overlooking Denali’s wilderness.  Setting out after breakfast, we’ll join a naturalist for a coach excursion into the Tundra Wilderness amidst spectacular scenery as we search for grizzly, moose, caribou, Dali Sheep and wolves.  Following breaks along the way and a boxed lunch, we’ll return to the hotel in the early afternoon for your choice of one of these included activities:

+ Walk through Denali National Park: A easy hike through the boreal forest ecosystem and learn how the artic conditions that have molded the land.  The wild and natural environment is everywhere around you as you walk at a gentle pace with frequent stops along the way.  It’s about 2.5 miles in length and takes 2-3 hours.
 
+ Ziplining - Experience life above the trees ziplining just outside of Denali National Park! Your adventure begins with a three-mile trail ride shuttle through the scenic Alaskan wilderness in an off-road vehicle. After gearing up, certified guides will lead you along 6 suspension bridges and 7 thrilling zip lines, including the dual racer finale! The built-in, hands-free braking system allows you to relax and take in the breathtaking mountain views. Challenge yourself by traversing to the top of the boreal forest on the uniquely designed Ascending Bridge Tower. Soar over the tundra on over half a mile of ziplines. Complete this once in a lifetime experience by racing to the finish zipping along side your friends and family! All safety gear provided - full body harness, helmet, and gloves. Guests must weigh under 280 lbs and be able to use all their limbs as this tour includes walking, climbing, stairs, hiking, ladder climb and pulling.  Wear closed toed sturdy shoes.
 
+ Scenic Float Trip - Enjoy adventure on the glacially fed Nenana River! Your three-hour adventure (two hours on the river) covers eleven miles of Alaskan wilderness (Class I, II+ rapids). Choose between oar (guide steers the raft and passengers are along for the ride) or paddle (learn how to paddle by following the guide’s instructions). With luck, you’ll see moose, sheep, caribou and bear as you raft downstream.  This tour is perfect for both new and experienced rafters. A dry suit is provided. Bring an extra pair of warm socks!

Day 5 - Day 5 – Deluxe Dome Train to Talkeetna
After breakfast, the morning is free to explore on your own before we board the Wilderness Express, with premium service and unimpeded views of Alaska’s scenery.  Settle into your reclining seat and marvel at the 360°  views through the full-length curved glass dome. This leg of the Alaska Railroad’s southbound journey offers some of the best views of Mt. Denali and takes you over Hurricane Gulch on a 914-foot-long bridge that spans a creek flowing nearly 300 feet below! Lunch will be served in the dome car’s lower level Dining Room.
 
On arrival in Talkeetna, you’ll be escorted to the outstanding Talkeetna Alaska Lodge. Set on a ridge just above this small community, our lodge offers majestic views of Denali.

Day 6 - Day 6 – Tailor your Stay in Talkeetna
After breakfast, tailor your morning to your personal taste for adventure with one of our included guided adventures!
 
+ Jet Boat Expedition: Fed by clear icy waters of the Susitna Glacier, this eponymous river flows for more than 300 miles through South Central Alaska. With broad tranquil stretches and narrow rushing courses, its picturesque forested shores are home to diverse wildlife including beavers and bald eagles. Capable of navigating even through extremely shallow waters, our fleet of high-tech jet boats are one of the few ways to explore this otherwise impenetrable wilderness. Accompanied by our engaging naturalist, this 2-hour adventure offers plenty of excitement, great views of the Alaska Range, and another chance to really experience Alaska’s wild and wonderful beauty.
 
+ Rafting: Enjoy a relaxing 4-5 mile raft trip on big glacially fed rivers that feed right out of the Alaska range. The rivers are swift and smooth yet calming and serene. On a clear day enjoy the best views of Denali, The Alaska Range, & surrounding Talkeetna Mountains. Learn about the flora, and fauna of the area during a few stops along the way. Watch for potential sightings of bald eagles, beavers, moose, black bears, and grizzly bears. When river levels and guest mobility allow, we stop to explore river islands, scout for animal tracks, and take a brief walk along the river. During this rejuvenating experience guests enjoy the Boreal Forrest, giant ferns, seasonal berries, and wildflowers, along the way. All rafting equipment is provided.
 
After lunch in Talkeetna, the balance of your afternoon is free to explore or relax as you wish. If you wish, optional excursions are available including Flightseeing around Denali and river rafting.  Meals B+L



Day 7 - Day 7 – Through the Matanuska-Susitna Valley to Mt. Alyeska
The fertile farmland of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley was first settled by families from the ‘lower 48’ during the New Deal era.  However, as we depart Talkeetna after breakfast and travel into the Valley, we’ll see that it’s still a land of pure Alaska wilderness set amidst towering mountains, waterfalls, surging rivers and abundant wildlife.
 
We’ll soon arrive at the Musk Ox Farm, a privately arranged visit with an Ice Age mammal that roamed the Earth alongside saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths.  Today, this  animal is prized for its dense undercoat that produces qiviut, one of the world’s finest wools.  This not-for-profit farm with the largest herd of musk ox in the world
is dedicated to its preservation and to the promotion of qiviut wool as a sustainable agricultural undertaking in the Far North. You’ll see frisky calves and seasoned bulls as you explore the property and learn more about these giant prehistoric creatures.
 
The Valley’s produce grows to incredible size due to its fertile soil and immense amount of summer sunlight. Today’s lunch will feature this farm-to-table bounty. Later in the afternoon, our visit to the Native Heritage Center will be led by a native Alaskan eager to share their knowledge and passion for Alaska’s history and culture.
 
We’ll continue along the Seward Highway as it hugs the shoreline between rugged peaks and expansive seascapes.  We’ll arrive in Girdwood and check in to the Hotel Alyeska, where you will enjoy the splendid setting of our resort.  You’ll be provided a ticket for the Alyeska Aerial Tram, departing right from the hotel, for a ride to the 2,300-foot peak of Mt. Alyeska and sweeping views of mountains and glaciers in all directions.  Meals B+L

Day 8 - Day 8 – Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise
This morning’s scenic journey takes you around the eastern end of the Turnagain Arm, the site of one of the world’s most impressive bore tides. Continuing southward, we’ll make our way over the Turnagain Pass, driving through the spectacular Chugach Mountains and the 6-million-acre National Forest that was established more than a century ago. The Turnagain Pass is the highest point along the Seward Highway and offers a great place to witness the tremendous power that glaciers have had on the Alaskan landscapes.
 
Arriving in Seward, we’ll continue to the harbor to embark our afternoon cruise into the dramatic landscapes of Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park, home to calving glaciers and the massive 300 square mile Harding Ice Field. These waters are teeming with marine wildlife, and engaging guides are onboard to help you identify the animals - including stellar sea lions, harbor seals, Dall porpoises, sea otters and walruses. Humpback, killer and Minke whales also inhabit these waters, and the shores are home to bears and other Alaskan mammals. After this marine adventure, we’ll enjoy dinner with your fellow travelers and return to the Hotel Alyeska. Meals B+L+D
