How to Include an Alaska Land Tour (or Two) in Your Cruise Tour Vacation
As much as Alaska’s coastal scenery is spectacular and can be viewed from on board your cruise ship, inland Alaska needs to see differently. An Alaska land tour can take you one of a number of interesting parts of this great state. Accommodation, transportation can be fully or partially organized for you and tours can include local guides. Consider arranging one or more of these tours for very different Alaskan experiences
Denali National Park
This Alaska land tour is the most popular and involves transport by road or rail. Denali is home to the magnificent Mt McKinley in the Alaska Range which is spectacular in its own right. Accommodation in lodges near Denali Park and bus shuttles there make wildlife and scenery viewing and hiking all achievable.
Kenai Peninsular
Kenai Fjords National Park can be accessed by tour boat from Seward but before you head there, make sure to drive up to nearby land-based Exit Glacier and view this glacier close up as well as the wonderful braided river system below. Kenai’s artisan village of Homer is a worth visiting as well as the nearby authentic Russian-influenced fishing village of Ninilchik. A number of lodges are located in the Kenai area.
Gates of the Artic National Park
As its name implies, this is one of the most northern parks in the US. Because long distances are involved this Alaska land tour, consider flying to Fairbanks and then traveling by highway. Whilst visiting this part of Alaska you may want to see Barrow the northern-most town in Alaska, found on the shores of Prudhoe Bay where you can arrange for some polar bear viewing.
Copper River Valley
Located inland, this area is well known for great salmon and King salmon fishing, hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing and even Alaska’s best roadhouses with authentic Alaskan cooking. If you enjoy the idea of fishing this is a great place to throw in a line. Fishing gear is available for hire but you need to buy a local fishing license.
So whether you arrange your land tours at the beginning or the end of your Alaskan cruise make sure you include them to get a different and fascinating perspective on inland Alaska.

Alaska 2009: The Journey Begins
It's May 9th, the day my wife and I leave for our two week Alaskan vacation. Knowing that our flight leaves from Atlanta at noon I thought I would get up around 0600, shower, get dressed, finish packing last minute items and slowly make progress towards the airport.
