What We Do
Travel Consultations
We're excited to help you plan your trip to Alaska! To get started, we'd love to chat with you about your travel interests, answer any questions you may have, and offer some insider recommendations.
Once we have a better sense of what you're looking for, we'll begin crafting a fully customized self-drive itinerary that's tailored to your preferences. This service is free of charge.
Customized Itineraries
With our custom Alaska itineraries service, we take care of everything from start to finish! We pride ourselves on assembling a detailed itinerary, including the route, rental car, hotels, activities, and personalized recommendations just for you.
Once we send you the first edition of your itinerary, we can review it together and make any necessary changes. We are committed to preparing a comprehensive and beautiful itinerary that will be available in PDF format for easy printing or use on mobile devices.
Not only that, but your itinerary will also feature a personalized and detailed Google map that can be used while driving. Let us take the stress out of planning your dream Alaskan vacation!
Booking Services
Our services include reserving rental cars, hotels, and carefully selected activities. Our goal is to tailor our services to meet your unique travel preferences and budget. Once we have a clear understanding of your travel style, we'll handpick services that we believe will exceed your expectations.
When you receive your detailed itinerary, you will receive confirmation information for all of the services and activities that we have arranged. Unfortunately, we are not able to make airline reservations for your trip to Alaska. However, we are happy to provide you with advice on the best routes, airlines, and other pertinent travel information.
What is an Alaska self-drive tour?
A self-drive or self-guided tour of Alaska is an exciting way to experience the natural beauty of the state on your own terms. With this type of tour, you'll have all the necessary information, reservations, activities, and routes planned, but you'll be in charge of transporting yourself from point A to point B each day. Unlike traditional guided tours, self-drive tours give you the freedom to explore Alaska at your own pace without a dedicated guide or organized group.
How does a self-drive tour of Alaska work?
On our self-drive tours of Alaska, we take pride in getting to know you and your travel preferences so we can create a truly personalized itinerary. We will work closely with you to ensure that everything you want to do and see in Alaska is included in the itinerary, and we handle all the bookings, including rental cars, hotels, and activities. Once everything is confirmed, we'll provide you with a beautiful and easy-to-read itinerary that includes a detailed Google Map.
We're here to support you every step of the way, from answering any questions you may have leading up to your trip to providing assistance during your travels in Alaska.
