Alaska Kenai & Denali Adventure

This eight-day G Adventures small-group tour kicks off with a scenic drive along the Seward Highway, a stretch notable for its views of Turnagain Arm and nearby mountains. The journey takes in Exit Glacier, where an optional hike leads you to expansive icefields marked by the crunch of your footsteps on the underfoot snow.

From the Kenai Peninsula, the trip progresses to Denali National Park, where the skyline is dominated by North America's highest peak. Here, the quiet is punctuated by the occasional howl from a dogsled demonstration or the sighting of bears in their natural surroundings. Along the way, there's also time to wander Talkeetna, a small town whose alpine views occasionally distract from its relaxed, local pace.

Managed by a G Adventures Chief Experience Officer, the tour balances structured days with some free time and optional excursions. The vehicles are modest-sized vans, fostering a sense of travel among fellow explorers rather than a rushed, impersonal shuttle. Meals are included selectively, hinting at opportunities to try local fare at your discretion. The itinerary is straightforward but flexible; Alaska’s weather and moods might well decide otherwise.
