Alaska Tours

If you are considering a trip to Alaska, do remember that it is the largest state in the United States of America. Even a two week visit can leave you having covered only a small fraction of what this beautiful state has to offer. You will, indeed, find yourself having to choose which tours you desperately want to go on first, to ensure you do not run out of time. Thomson has some fabulous deals on Alaskan Tours, leaving you with the important decision of where to start first! 

Mount McKinley

Many tours will include Mount McKinley in their visits. Any photographs you may have seen of this glorious mountain simply do not do it justice. To bask in the fresh air whilst admiring the view from atop is a truly incredible experience. If you are fortunate enough to visit Alaska, you must add a visit to mount McKinley to your itinerary.

Day Cruises

Do book yourself on a day cruise. Popular destinations are Prince William Sound, Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords. You will not be disappointed with the stunning wildlife and scenery on offer from the beautiful coastal region of Alaska.

Shopping

As you can imagine from such a large state, Alaska has much to offer for your shopping experience. There are many museums, gift shops, farmers markets and retail stores throughout Alaska. If you are looking for a unique and authentic gift, do look for the ‘Silver hand’ or ‘Made in Alaska’ emblems that authenticate the local craftsmanship.

Selawik National Wildlife Refuge

You will find many tours that will take you on visits to national parks. If you happen to see a tour to the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, do attend. This stunning refuge is a splendid vista of beautiful wildlife and scenery. The refuge offers protection to the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, Alaska’s largest herd. The sheer volume of this refuge will impress even the difficult people to please.

Entertainment

The amount available to you in terms of entertainment in Alaska is impressive. The native culture of this state opens some truly fantastic opportunities. You could try totem carving, crafts, festivals, native dancing as well as visit many of the cultural museums. You will find your itinerary becoming very full with things to do and see on your visit.

Whilst huge, Alaska truly has something for everyone. From water sports to hiking, from shopping to wildlife parks, the scenery is truly breathtaking. Your only regret on your visit will be that you didn’t have longer to spend to enjoy this stunning state and all of its glory.
