If you’d like your next vacation to include healthy doses of adventure and excitement, consider an Alaska cruise. While there is plenty to see from your ship’s deck, Alaska shore excursions provide unique, invigorating experiences not found anywhere else in the world. Highlighted below is a sampling of the adventures that await you during your Alaska cruise.
- Helicopter and Dog Sled Tour – Juneau – This thrilling combination of helicopter flightseeing and dog sledding on a spectacular glacier is sure to be a highlight of your Alaska experiences. You’ll fly over Juneau’s massive ice field to view different types of glaciers, and after landing on a glacier, you’ll glide across the snowy terrain on a thrilling dog sled ride.
- Canopy Zipline Adventure – Juneau – Imagine yourself suspended above the ground, gliding from one uniquely themed platform to the next through a thriving rainforest along more than 6,000 feet of ziplines, suspension bridges, and a ground-based trail network. As you progressively ease into the forest canopy, you’ll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of Alaska’s rainforest. Along your journey, you’ll cross brooks and meandering streams and, with luck, view the abundant local wildlife.
- Paddling Adventure in the Tongass National Forest – Ketchikan – After a basic kayaking and safety class, you’ll board a tandem kayak and paddle out to the Eagle Islands, where protected waters allow you to fully experience the tranquility of the forest. Be sure to keep an eye out for eagles, seals, and jumping salmon.
- Klondike Rock Climbing & Rapelling – Skagway – Adventure awaits climbers of all abilities who want to climb on the smooth granite walls of the White Pass. There are dozens of routes to choose from, and each one offers a stunning aerial view of the Skagway River, the White Pass & Yukon Route railway, and the surrounding wilderness.
- Yukon Jeep Adventure – Skagway – Retrace the historic Trail of ’98 from Skagway to Canada’s Yukon as you steer a four-wheel drive Jeep Wrangler along the Klondike Highway. You’ll head off the beaten path for amazing vistas accessible only by off-road vehicles.
