Alaska Small Group Tours
These trips tend to focus on the outdoors— nature, wildlife, and sustainable ecotourism—and often make it a priority to get you off the beaten path. You’ll have, at most, 12-16 other travelers with you, and your trip leaders will be well versed in wildlife, flora and the state's diverse ecosystems.
You’ll have a more leisurely schedule, stay in more secluded lodges, and have more time for hiking the backcountry. As an example: in Denali, a small group might stay in Kantishna, deep inside the park, instead of in the tourist-heavy park entrance area, just outside the park.
Small group tours have only one drawback: cost. They run 30-40% more than conventional group tours. Part of that difference is offset by the fact that more activities and excursions are baked into the cost of the core trip.
One other consideration: If you like guided hiking, there is no better option.
