Adventure Tips

Bring Layered Clothing

Weather can change quickly in Alaska; wearing layers ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day.

Stay Hydrated

Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially during warmer days on the water.

Respect Wildlife

Maintain a safe distance from animals and avoid disturbing their natural behavior.
