Great guides along with great company of other group members. We all got along so well. Everyone was very flexible. The itinerary was a great representation of what Alaska offers.
Our wonderful guides Emily and Elysee along with wonderful woman from all different walks in life and their stories. Alaska was pretty nice too.
It was my first time to Alaska and the AGC itinerary was perfect for getting to see and do as much as possible in our time there while also giving us down time and keeping the pace comfortable with plenty of rest breaks on the hike. PLUS- we had the most awesome weather the whole trip. It was beautiful every single day and the fires did not impact us - thankfully! We were able to see Denali 5 days in a row. Also- our guides were the best. They took care to be sure we knew what was going to happen, if they needed to adjust the itinerary and their compassion, concern, knowledge, guidance was great.
Both guides were fabulous, the hikes were good - I saw many animals.
The natural breathtaking beauty of Alaska, the incredibly fun activities, the delicious food (halibut and salmon in particular) and two absolutely wonderful, supportive, kind and informative guides. A truly awesome and fun adventure trip!
The guides were fantastic and did an amazing job of accommodating everyone’s requests and additional activities.

All participants are guaranteed their own bed on our trips.
A Single Supplement (SS) means you will have your own room with your own bed, and no other participants will share that room with you. Single supplements are limited, offered at an additional cost, and will appear as a booking option at the time of registration if still available.
A Double Accommodation means you will share a room with another participant. You will still have your own bed. Shared beds can be requested but cannot always be accommodated depending upon the property.
Bathrooms: Bathroom arrangements vary depending on the trip and lodging. A single supplement guarantees your own sleeping space but may still include a shared bathroom. Double accommodations typically share a bathroom with a roommate and sometimes additional participants, depending on the property. Private or ensuite bathrooms will be noted in the trip details when available.
Most of your meals will be at your lodging or at restaurants where you can order off the menu; the guides will prepare some of the meals. Most lunches will be packed lunches or picnic style.
We can accommodate vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-intolerant although we can not guarantee a completely gluten-free diet, if we know well in advance. If you're severely allergic or if you have other significant dietary restrictions, please call the office before you register. If you're vegan, you may want to bring some additional protein bars.
You only need to pay a single supplement if you want to guarantee you have your own room. Otherwise we'll pair you up with someone and then switch roommates every time we switch lodging.
Your trip in Alaska is filled with hiking and sightseeing! Alaska is known for its expansive vistas and Wild West feel. In other words, it is not just 'a walk in the park' and does require a certain level of physical fitness to fully enjoy the experience. The trails and terrain you will encounter will be well developed trails with rocky terrain and the occasional steep section with un-even footing. The hikes will have a combination of woodland and wide open nature areas; even though we are very far north the sun can be strong - don't forget your sunscreen! You will be spending between 2-6 hours each day hiking. To fully enjoy your trip, please continue your regular fitness program and consider adding some of the suggestions below.
