After reading suggestions and sample itineraries from just about everywhere, this is what we have come up with. We are a family of three with 15 year old son. We are most interested in hiking, kayaking, flightseeing, discount airline tickets to germany rafting, and fishing, not really into museums We start out with a northbound cruise out of Vancouver to Whittier, disembarking on July 8. More than likely we will have done Misty Fjords in Ketchikan, whalewatching in Juneau, and the White Pass Railroad in Skagway. From there, this is roughly what we have come up with. Airline reservations are made and we have 7 nights for the land tour. Please feel free to comment discount airline tickets to germany and critique:
My main question: is this too ambitious an itinerary for just 7 nights? Like I said, the 3 nights in Denali is a must. We could always discount airline tickets to germany knock off a night in Seward and spend one more night in Valdez and do the Columbia Glacier Kayak trip there. discount airline tickets to germany Or we could not head towards Valdez at all and just go straight to Kenai from Denali and maybe spend some time in Homer. But we really want to experience the beauty discount airline tickets to germany of the drive to Valdez.
discount airline tickets to germany We really discount airline tickets to germany enjoyed discount airline tickets to germany a day fishing trip to Wolverine Creek. This is just on the outskirts of Lake Clark National Park. It included a float plane ride. We also saw 20+ bears(from canoe only a few feet away-never felt in danger)and lost count of all the bald eagles. Great experience. We also did a Helicpoter/Glacier discount airline tickets to germany Landing/Dog Sledding from Alyeska/Girdwood. That was great too.
I have not been to Denali. However, my parents went last year and did the Talkeetna air tour with a Glacier Landing. That was the highlight of their trip. They did a similar trip as to what you are doing--cruise and land combo.
"forego a Kenai Fjords cruise (good idea?)" No, not a good idea IMO. A Kenai Fjord cruise is not the same as whale watching in Juneau. If you have the time, I highly discount airline tickets to germany recommend the Kenai Fjords cruise.
But the Kenai Ford Cruise goes to the exact same place as the Kayak Ailik Glacier Tour as OP indicates he is doing. Plus, OP will likely be on a smaller taxiboat, so I assume it would stop for wildlife. The kayak would be much better than a larger boat around the glaciers, IMOP.
It's too much ground to cover in 7 days. When you disembark in Whittier, rent a car and go to Seward, and then to Denali and back to Anchorage. I'd stop in Girdwood rather than driving over to Homer because you don't have much time. Alternatively, skip Seward and spend more time between Denali and Valdez. With 3 nights in Denali, you will spend the rest of the week in your car driving to your next destination discount airline tickets to germany with your current itinerary. Do not underestimate how long it will take you to drive on the 2 lane roads around Alaska. Between summer road construction, and slow moving RVs and trucks, you will not approach interstate speeds as you would in the lower 48.
