Day-by-day itinerary*:
Day 1: Gold and Wildlife
Welcome! We meet participants between 10 and 11 AM and set off on an exciting journey along the gold prospectors' route! We'll visit an open-air museum, then walk to waterfalls through the northernmost rainforest in the world! At the wildlife rescue center, we'll meet musk oxen, bears, moose, and other representatives of Alaska's fauna. They were all rescued under different circumstances and now live in conditions as close as possible to their natural environment. Our road runs along a picturesque bay that regularly makes the lists of the most beautiful roads in the USA. If we're lucky, we might see beluga whales right from our minibus window! In the evening — transfer to our base in Palmer and check-in to glamping. We'll stay here throughout the entire tour.
Day 2: Icebergs, History, and Sled Dogs
Today we head to Knik Glacier in an all-terrain truck, then by motorboat across the lake, among majestic icebergs. Later we'll visit an ethnographic open-air museum where we can see traditional homes of Alaskan peoples and learn little-known details about their life, customs, and culture. In the evening we'll meet mushers and their amazing sled dogs. These people and their dogs are true heroes of Alaska's vast spaces! Listening to exciting stories about multi-day expeditions, you'll learn about the famous Iditarod race that originated in Alaska.
Day 3: Denali and Other Mountains
Dreaming of seeing the highest mountain in North America? We'll drive to where there's the best chance of seeing it. Here you can choose — a flight closer to Denali with a landing on one of the high-altitude glaciers covered in eternal snow**, or additional free time to stroll through the galleries of the famous hippie and mountaineer town where the mayor is a cat. Or rather, a she-cat)) On the same day we'll visit an abandoned gold prospectors' village, picturesquely located in the highlands, stop by a high-altitude lake, and pick blueberries*.
Day 4: Glacier Walk and Ice Climbing
Why is ice in Alaska blue and how old are glaciers? Our experienced guides will provide you with all necessary ice climbing equipment and answer all questions. Trying ice climbing is a unique experience that many come to us for! We're happy to include this in the tour so your acquaintance with Alaska becomes even more complete!
Day 5: Canoe, Sauna, and Other Activities
A day of rest with short trips. Walks, canoeing, kayaking and SUP on the lake, archery, and in the evening — sauna with birch branches.
Day 6: Fjords and Ocean
We'll drive through the longest single-lane tunnel in North America and visit the unique one-house town. Then you'll have a choice: take a several-hour cruise through the fjords where you can see glaciers calving into the ocean and various marine inhabitants such as sea otters, seals, and dolphins, or take an easy hiking route into the mountains to a picturesque glacial lake**.
Day 7: Reindeer
Visit to a reindeer farm: we'll meet caribou reindeer, their babies, and a moose. A short walk, after which we pack up and depart in the evening.
Program starts: 10-11 AM on first day. Ends: after 6 PM on last day
