We are specialized in providing unique and adventurous multi-day trips throughout Alaska. With over 10 years of experience operating small group tours, we have carefully selected the best spots and sights in Alaska. We stay in secluded cabins, yurts, and great campsites that offer a true sense of adventure. One of the highlights of traveling with Infinite Adventures is our commitment to wildlife viewing. We take pride in taking guests to lesser-known spots where they can encounter bears, moose, and take part in outdoor activities in the tranquility of Alaskan wilderness.

Your Itinerary
Your day, step by step
Day 1
Anchorage
City/Town Tour. Welcome to the largest city of Alaska, most often thought of as the state's capital.
Continued
Healy (Denali)
Sightseeing at Denali National Park And Preserve. Start off your vacation flying into stunning scenery overlooking the Chugach, Alaskan, Kenai, and Talkeetna mountain ranges. Although Mt. Denali is only visible 20% of the year, there's a chance you could even catch a glimpse. Anchorage is Alaska's most populated area yet it's shared with the likes of bears, moose, and wolves.

Anchorage

Day 5
Healy (Denali)
Sightseeing at Denali National Park And Preserve. From Denali, we drive the lightly traveled Denali Highway. First opened in 1957, this dirt road was the first to access Denali National Park (then known as Mt. McKinley National Park.) Located in the Maclaren river valley, you traverse through high alpine country on the state’s second highest highway pass. Here lies the Maclaren River Lodge run by Alan and Susie, who are fantastic hosts that will take us on a jet boat ride up to "The Remote Glacier Camp." Now we’re out in the wilderness on our own, no mobile phone reception and no roads.
Continued
Anchorage
Here we'll stay overnight exploring and camping out in the wilderness.
Day 6

Canoeing. The next day we'll take a canoe trip back down the river for our next night at this beautifully situated lodge. (one night bush camp/one night lodge)

Accomodation provided.
Day 7
Anchorage
Eco Tour. Here we’ll visit the largest National Park in the United States and camp at the "End-of-the- Road” campground. Literally at the end of the McCarthy Road, these 60 miles of gravel road were built along the old Copper River and Northwestern railways.
Continued
Anchorage
Hiking. Most remnants left of this once thriving area were a part of the copper mines, but most people forget this was where the last great gold rush happened in Alaska. There are many optional activities like hiking, ice climbing, glacier walks, guided mill tours, rafting, and scenic flights around 16,000- foot peaks, 25-mile long glaciers and massive icefalls.

Day 10
Valdez
Sightseeing. Valdez is the terminus of the 800-mile trans-Alaskan pipeline that begins at Prudhoe Bay. Valdez is an important gateway to the interior of Alaska. Valdez was brought to the forefront of national media March 1989. The Exxon Valdez ran aground causing an 11-million gallon oil spill. For many years, flora and fauna were devastated by this environmental catastrophe. Thankfully, order has been mostly restored and the Chugach Mountains set a gorgeous backdrop to this quaint little town.

Day 11
Valdez
Kayaking. The next day is focused on optional activities. Highly recommended is the Columbia Glacier Sea Kayaking or the Lulu Belle Wildlife Cruise for their beautiful scenery, mammoth icebergs and possibility of spotting all kinds of wildlife. One of the days we will venture out and see if we can find some bears, eagles or sea lions feeding on salmon. Valdez is well known for bears to come to the local salmon fish hatchery and the surrounding creeks.
