Alaska is tailor-made for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whether you sail its icy bays trying to spot huge cold-water whales or fly high above this rough-and-tumble landscape from the vantage of a helicopter, you're sure to come away with memories you and your family couldn't have made anywhere else.
Adventuring in Alaska is all about getting to know this state's stunning landscape. It might seem cold and unforgiving at first, but the best Alaskan adventures allow you to explore the quiet lakes, imposing glaciers and mountain views.
Journey Inland
Exploring the interior of Alaska will give you an entirely different perspective on this vast and rugged state. Take an Inside Passage cruise or hop on the Alaskan Railroad and enjoy the lakes, as well as the spruce-lined mountains.
Glaciers will amaze you
Rivers of ice wind between mountains and carve out of valleys. Towering walls of ice like the Hubbard Glacier, Endicott Arm Dawes and the twin Sawyer Glaciers are amazing natural wonders that you can enjoy up close.
Experience "The Great One"
In the center of the state, Denali National Park s home to Denali, "The Great One," formerly known as Mt. McKinley. It can be seen from as far away as Anchorage on a clear day. An up-close view is more than worth the expedition during your vacation.
Who Let the Dog Out?
In some parts of the state, dog sledding is still the primary mode of transportation through the winter months. Visit Alaska and get the experience for yourself at the Skagway Yukon Discovery and Dog Sled Tour. The Siberian Huskies are sweet and energetic, and the ride is a thrill.
Whale Watching
Head to Kenai Fjords National Park in Seward for a whale watching tour. There's nothing like seeing these behemoths hurl themselves out of the water, to splash back into the sea. Don't pass up an opportunity to watch these giants feed and play in the water.
Birds Eye View
Planes are plentiful in Alaska, where they're a common form of transportation across the state. Charter a helicopter or fixed-wing flightseeing tour at Juneau and get an unforgettable perspective of the mountains and glaciers of this vast landscape.
Alaska is an incredible destination for a family vacation that will amaze your children while teaching them so many things about the world we live in. It is not just any vacation, it is an adventurous experience. One they will never forget.
There is no better way to disconnect them from all the "screens" in their world. And chance are, they will not even miss them!
