What's this trip about?

    Half the people we know have cruised to Alaska. The other half plans to. But as much as we love a cruise, it just seems a shame to float right past some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. After all, the Kenai Peninsula offers a range of wonderful walking options that don’t require “bush” skills. There’s the world’s most northerly rain forest…Exit Glacier where a scenic path allows us to experience its awesome scale up-close…Resurrection Bay with its humpback whales and orcas…the wildflower meadows too far from shore to ever be spotted by a landing party. With Classic Journeys, you’ll see it all—and you’ll meet local fishermen, naturalists and other friends. Accommodations include historic lodges and hotels. Even if we don’t offer a 2 a.m. dessert buffet, we think you’ll take home equally happy memories of a lakeside salmon-bake followed by fresh-picked blueberries. And then you’ll know you’ve truly touched Alaska.

Itinerary

Day 1: Anchorage / Girdwood
We gather in Anchorage and begin with a warm-up walk on a scenic coastal path with views of three mountain ranges including Denali, North America’s highest peak. After a spectacular drive to Mt. Alyeska (1 night), we take a forest walk past a series of waterfalls and end the afternoon at the state’s richest gold mine where we can still pan for gold.

Days 2-3: Seward
Our hotel in Seward (2 nights) is ideally located in the scenic harbor town with views of Resurrection Bay. We’ll visit Alaska's famous SeaLife Center, and save time for a breathtaking boat trip into the Kenai Fjords.

Days 4-6: Homer
We’ll watch for moose, bear, and caribou as we drive into Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, then offer you the option of a gentle river-rafting excursion or riverside walk. We’ll settle into our lodge in Homer (2 nights) in time to watch the local halibut fishermen return ...

Hotel selection was not the best

Hotel selection was not the best. Hotel in Quebec was loud, noisy, dark, with poor ac. Another hotel, had no elevator and bunk beds. Not 5 star hotels as advertised....
