AKStafford Posted August 30 #3 Share Posted August 30 In my opinion, the best option is to explore Southcentral and Interior Alaska with a rental car on your own. It's easy to put together a plan, and you can get help here or at the TripAdvisor forum for Alaska travel: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g28923-i349-Alaska.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJonesy Posted September 1 #4 Share Posted September 1 Upvote #3. Look at the posts on TA for Alaska. There are tons of itinerary recommendations. Be aware that everything here takes time to get there...probably more time than you think. We have sometimes significant construction on the roads in the summer with pilot cars and delays, so that has to be added in for time. Ignore google maps for driving time...LOL. Don't be a drive by visitor. When you come, get in there and SEE ALASKA. You cannot possible do this place in a week, so you will have to choose. Don't let anyone tell you to drive to DNP then all the way to Seward or Homer for a week. You will spend 2-3 of your days on the road. Pick a place; go all in and see it well.

oaktreerb Posted September 2 #5 Share Posted September 2 To answer your question. Take the longest cruise tour you can. You need a minimum of two nights in Denali. Look at D3 and D4 and consider the activities that HAL includes. Yukon cruisetours are nice with Y2 a good one or Y1 if you have time. There are also mini cruises with Yukon tours. Most people like to do the land tour first and cruise to relax on the return trip. Make sure the Yukon tour has two nights in Dawson City. HAL handles all transportation, hotels, and luggage. Your room key will be given to you at your destinations. All transportation will have a narrator. Only the Yukon tours have a guide to travel with you. HAL tours are well organized. You will also have time for your own planned excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
