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. Start off your vacation flying into stunning scenery overlooking the Chugach, Alaskan, Kenai, and Talkeetna mountain ranges.

Accomodation provided.
Day 2
Seward
Sightseeing at Kenai Peninsula. Located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula and Resurrection Bay, Seward is known as the "Gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park." Seward is about half day drive from Anchorage. In the afternoon you will have some free time to explore the scenic waterfront of Seward.

Day 3
Anchorage
Boating. The following morning we will experience the national park by boat, cruising among the glaciers and wildlife.
Continued
Anchorage
Eco Tour. After hopefully spotting as much wildlife as possible we will be seeing a calving glacier!
Continued
Seward
Hiking. A visit to Seward would not be complete without hiking alongside the picturesque Exit Glacier with a probability seeing a few of the local black bear feeding on some berries. The 8.2-mile round trip up to the Harding Icefield is a spectacular yet strenuous day hike.

Anchorage
Accomodation provided.
Day 4
Anchorage
Sightseeing at Harding Icefield. Starting on the valley floor, the trail winds through cottonwood and alder forests, passes though heather filled meadows and ultimately climbs well above tree line to a breath-taking view of the Harding Icefield.
Continued
Anchorage
Sightseeing. The top of the trail is a window to past ice ages - a horizon of ice and snow that stretches as far as the eye can see! If you don’t feel prepared to do the full 8.2-mile roundtrip, there are shorter options with equally breathtaking views available.

Anchorage
Accomodation provided.
Day 5
Homer
Sightseeing at Kenai Peninsula. Located on the western side of the Kenai Peninsula and Kachemak Bay, Homer is the launching point for our two-night Adventure Camp. But, don't overlook this artist inspired town with its many galleries along the spit.
Continued
Homer
Sightseeing at Resurrection Bay.
Continued
Homer
Sightseeing at Salty Dawg Saloon. You will have some time to explore the picturesque town and it's fishermen culture. For example, the Salty Dawg Saloon's lighthouse is a great place to sit belly-up to the bar along with posting your dollar bill on the ceiling or wall so that your friend, who will be by later, will have a drink on you.
Continued
Anchorage
Sightseeing. On the way to Homer there will be enough time for some scenic photo stops and short walks. Depending on the time of the year we might stop to watch the Salmon Running up Russian River or visit one of the Russian orthodox churches overlooking the volcanoes on the other side of the bay.
Continued
Anchorage
Accomodation provided.
Day 6
Anchorage
Boating. Take a boat ride from Homer to Kasitsna Bay, landing on this lovely and relatively untouched beach of the peninsula. You will be sleeping in tents close to the beach and there is a beautiful beach house with huge windows and coffee/tea on tap.

Eco Tour. We will stop at Potter Marsh to spot some of the migratory birds and wildlife that call it home. The afternoon you will have time to explore Anchorage downtown. Anchorage is a lively city that houses almost 50% of the state’s 730,000 people. (Commonly it is mistaken for the capital of Alaska, but that would be Juneau.)
