Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Join an Alaskan safari for a unique chance to see moose, caribou, grizzly bears, Dall sheep and wolves in their natural habitat in Denali National Park.
Sit back and take in stunning views along the dramatic coastlines of the Turnagain Arm from Talkeetna to Seward – while someone else does the driving, so you can take in the scenery.
Experience the quirky small-town side of Alaska in Talkeetna, famous for its big views of Denali and the Alaska Range and enjoy dinner at a local brewpub.
Walk out to the viewpoint of Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park and witness the colossal scale of this electric blue natural marvel.
Enjoy heaps of free time near Kenai Fjords National Park to hike, kayak, picnic or immerse yourself in the gorgeous natural surroundings with some much-needed R and R.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle with your group. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. It’s all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates.
While Alaska can experience warm summers, you should still be prepared for cold temperatures, especially at night, and also rain, which can (and does) happen year-round.
This trip is designed to offer a balance of included activities and free time for optional excursions. Your leader will have plenty of recommendations for your free time and will be able to assist with booking optional activities with trusted local suppliers.

Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the true beauty of Alaska. I would also recommend the optional flight. Words can't describe it. We had an awesome tour guide which enchanced the overall trip but from what I've heard on Intrepid, their guides are always knowledgeable and helpful.

The Alaska Discovery was the perfect introduction to Alaska and gives you the desire to experience more of the state. Judd was a fabulous leader who ensured that we had a superb trip.

The Alaska trip was a perfect way to see a portion of the state in a week! We got to experience the beauty in a variety of manners. Having the trip itinerary set took out any planning or navigation for us, so we could just relax and enjoy.

The Alaska discovery trip provided a variety of experiences in Alaska as a lane tour(as opposed to a cruise ship excursion). I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering exploring Alaska!
