Alaskan Adventure 17 days

Written By Admin

Take an old yellow school bus, remodel it into an overland vehicle, stick two tour leaders in the driver’s seat and bring together a small group of adventure travelers to explore the wilderness of Alaska.

With tour leading experience throughout North America, Africa, the Middle East and South America, we know what sights and experiences people are looking for. Our focus is allowing adventure travelers to experience the wonders that the North American wilderness and melting pot of cultures have to offer. Overlanding offers active and independent travelers to truly invest in the success of the adventure by getting involved in a group oriented atmosphere!

Alaska, often called “The Last Frontier” has been the crown jewel for adventure travelers in North America. There are many misconceptions of unbearable and impassable weather conditions. This couldn’t be further from the truth. During the summers in Alaska, you’ve got 18-20 hours of sunlight and average daytime temperatures between 58-77 F (14-25 C). The Salmon Run adventure is focused on the highlights of Alaska with optional activities of halibut/salmon fishing, sea kayaking, ice climbing, glacier walks, rafting, horseback riding and scenic flights. View glaciers and icebergs from near or from afar, trail blaze through the wilds and maybe even come face-to-face with a grizzly! This is the adventure your adrenaline has been waiting for you to do.
