Top Alaska Day Trips

This was an awesome tour and our kids loved it. It sent my husband and I down a Google rabbit hole learning about gold mining. We loved Doug (the salty retired miner who led the underground portion.) I wish we had time to buy him a drink and listen to his stories about his time as a miner. He did a great job of making sure all the kids could see in the front and took great pains to make sure their ear protection was in correctly before turning on the machinery. It was impressive to see the equipment they use and how much engineering, geology, and chemistry come together to make gold mining possible. Rick, who led the gold panning portion, was great with the kids. Everyone found little gold flakes thanks to him and his teaching abilities. I enjoyed talking with him about the local area, the gold mine’s relationship to the local indigenous population, and his background. We got to spend a solid 20-25 minutes learning to pan for gold at the end. The gal who taught the mining overview portion really knew her stuff and answered all of our random questions. She was really pleasant and patient with some wild questions from a few of the visitors. The length of this portion was perfect and they even have overhead heaters they turned on in the outdoor classroom area where we sat. I definitely recommend this!

Captain Jesse, Michelle and Hadley were great! We saw multiple humpback whales, seals, and eagles. No Bear or Black tailed deer but we were seeing wildlife almost the entire time. One of the whales breached and did a tail slap. Michelle can Captain Jesse kept us informed when and where to look. It was a great trip and unforgettable experience!!

We had a great time in Sitka touring with Erin! We enjoyed both the Raptor Center and the Fortress of the Bear. Yes, they're kind of touristy, but they're great opportunities to see the animals up close and learn more about them. We also enjoyed our hikes in the woods. Erin worked hard to make sure we put plenty of fun in our tour. We're not a big fan of big bus tours, so we really enjoyed the 10 passenger van. It allowed Erin to be more flexible. For example, two members of our tour group were a little late, so Erin took us on a quick side trip to see some sights until the others arrived. It was definitely a great value!

We had a fantastic time! Justin was one of the best tour guides we’ve had in a while & we were in great hands with Captain Chill. We came on a cruise ship and booked separately, and they were very accommodating to our ship schedule. Definitely would recommend!

This was great. Our tour guide was excellent. The bus was very comfortable. The views were stunning. It's a long day but a great way to see Alaska and the incredible landscape. The tour took about 7 hours total but it left enough time for us to explore Scagway before we needed to get back on our ship. Scagway is a very small town.

Weather forecast could hinder your excursion as well as maintenance of the helicopters. However the Staff was great, very accommodating and able to work around our schedule. This is a perfect trip to go on especially if you ever wanted to sled in Alaska on top of a glacier. Excellent excursion!!

The only day we had available for this happened to bring rain and low clouds all dang day. We are updated constantly with the conditions, continually asked if we wanted to refund, rebook for later in the day, or the next day. We pushed back our reservation multiple times with no hassle to try and catch the sun (it didn't happen). We ultimately had to cancel and get a refund since we didn't have another day. I was completely happy with the updates and attempts to get us in. That is why I am 5 starring an event that we didn't even get to do. This company rocks and is very much a pleasure to deal with.

Fun excursion for almost any age. Exciting with a sense of adventure, yet safe ATV riding under the skillful guidance of Dillon and Parker. Magnificent views, with some interesting history thrown in, I’d recommend checking this tour out when in the Denali area.
