Alaska Holidays
Holidays in Alaska are an outdoor lover’s dream, perfect for adventurous travellers who want to experience The Last Frontier. Around 80 percent of this epic state, the largest in the USA, is inaccessible by road, making it an unspoiled paradise filled with wildlife. Come to Alaska for snow topped mountains, mammoth glaciers, coastal rainforests, lakes and some of the world’s most impressive National Parks. Get the best views of this vast wilderness on a helicopter ride over Alaska.
Alaska holiday highlights include spotting all kinds of wildlife, from whales, moose and wolves to Grizzly and Brown Bears. Explore Russian and Native American heritage in the city of Anchorage, see the Northern Lights in Fairbanks and hike the Harding Icefields.
