Sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a water bottle, and a camera are essential. We also recommend a small backpack for personal items.
The ideal time for hiking in Alaska is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is milder and the trails are most accessible.
Safety is our top priority. Our guides are knowledgeable about local wildlife and provide briefings on safety practices to ensure a secure and enjoyable hiking experience.
Many large cruise lines will make you pick an activity for your trip and charge you if you want to experience more. We want our guests to have new and fantastic experiences without the added pressure of an additional bill at the end of the cruise.
