About the trip

This six-night small group tour by G Adventures takes you into Alaska’s wild heart, travelling from Anchorage to Valdez and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The trip includes a hike on the Worthington Glacier, with easy access to the ice, followed by a kayaking excursion on Glacier Lake—quiet water framed by towering mountains.

You’ll also visit the former mining town of McCarthy, where the century-old Bonanza Mine trail meanders through the park. Accommodation involves participation camping under the stars for five nights, with one night in a rustic lodge, making the most of fresh air and wilderness even after the walking stops. The CEO-led group travel uses sturdy 15-passenger vans, balancing an active pace with comfort.

It’s a range of landscapes from ice to old mining relics and river scenery. The tour comes with national park fees and includes local guides where specialist knowledge adds value, and allows for optional activities if you feel like more adventure in your downtime.
