About your tour
Explore the Alaskan wilderness like the locals with a local. Come exploring the way you want, with who you want. Want to boat to remote coastline, go kayaking alongside the intertidal zone, cover some spectacular coastal wilderness hiking, relax on an uninhabited beach, or check out the local wildlife? Share what you are hoping to experience when you book and then lets do it!
This is the real Alaska experience and as a private tour that can mean a range of things.
We can shape the itinerary to be physically demanding in a way that most other shore excursions cannot not. Do you plan to show up in your own wetsuit to play in the surf? Let's do it!
We can also craft inclusive experiences to meet everyone's needs and abilities. With a little communication and planning I have taken many multi-generational families and people with disabilities out on extraordinarily rewarding adventures. Please let me know your needs and what you are excited about in the notes field when you book. We will plan an adventure together and then do it!
