Gold Panning, Glaciers & Grizzly Bears - Overland Trip

1 ½ weeks: Anchorage to Anchorage (KU-NAF2)

Our Family Tour in Alaska and Canada is filled with highlights such as wildlife viewing, gold panning, nature trails and a scenic ferry ride. Be surrounded by magnificent glaciers in Prince William Sound and have a breathtaking view of Anchorage by taking the aerial tram up to Mt. Alyeska. In Denali National Park we look for Grizzly Bears, Caribou and Moose, and see Wonder Lake and Mt McKinley, the highest mountain in the USA. We stop at Santa Claus House, and see the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. In Dawson City we try our luck at gold panning, and visit the Midnight Dome and Gold Diggers Museum. As we head back towards Anchorage, the Prince William Sound is a highlight as we look for puffins, otters, sea lions and whales aboard our ferry. Please note that the child price is only applicable for children under 12 sharing a room with 2 adults. Children under 12 must be in the same room as their parents.
