Itinerary
Day 1: Anchorage/Seward
Afterwards, the group will transfer to the accommodations in Seward along Resurrection Bay. In the evening, enjoy dinner together around the campfire.
Day 2: Seward
Day 3: Seward
In the afternoon, enjoy free time to find a lunch spot in Seward and then opt to walk around the waterfront of downtown, visit the Alaska Sealife Center, watch for otters playing in the water, or rent a kayak and explore Resurrection Bay.
Day 4: Seward/Denali National Park and Preserve
In the late afternoon continue on to Denali National Park where you'll be camping with shared bathroom facilities.

You can also choose other optional activities near Denali like rafting, or scenic flights with or without glacier landing before returning to the campsite in the evening.
Day 6: Denali National Park and Preserve
After a picnic lunch, the group will hike the Horseshoe Lake trail. Highlights of this easy, but rewarding hike include the calm waters of the lake nestled in its forested surroundings and views along the edge of the Nenana River where you could watch whitewater rafters pass by.

Day 8: Anchorage/Valdez
Day 9: Valdez
After lunch head to Glacier Lake in Valdez where you'll go on a hike and guided kayak tour of the lake. If you have yet to set your eyes on an iceberg, this might just be your chance.

With great views and miles of open water to paddle there's no better way to get in touch with nature.

I had a fantastic experience and couldn't recommend the company more.

From the very start of signing up for the tour, staff were available to answer questions. CEO?s go above and beyond to help on tour. Also not sure if it was just my tour but really liked age demographic, there were a few my age as well as a few younger. Price and itinerary (do have a few comments about 2nd week itinerary but will note later)

Itinerary nicely planned. Our tour guide Brianna was awesome with superb planning despite our van breaking down. Budget for food was beyond my expectation as well.

I like the concepts for the group travel and the good size of the groups. You can choose as per preferences if you would like to be more active, cultural oriented and so on. Very good value for the money.

great tour, great stops, overall good service

G Adventures tours provide a great way for travelling countries in different travel styles (active vs. classic, camping vs. hotels, etc.) and meeting like-minded people that also want to have fun and explore the world.

On this trip, it was the destination and the group that made the trip good. Everything provided by G (or should I say Windigo!?) and especially the equipment provided as well as the food were mediocre to disappointing.
07/23/2023
I recommend G Adventures but I would not go on another camping trip with them.
07/23/2023
The tour itself - where it went and the group we were with were amazing! It was let down by poor camping equipment and poor food provided by the company.
07/02/2023
it's a good thing

I have been on six G Adventures trips now and they have greatly diminished in quality since I first started taking them in 2010. Half of the itinerary for the Ultimate Active Alaska trip is false, or over embellishes or does not prepare you for the fact that some of the hikes that are advertised may not be accessible because the snow pack hasn',t melted yet. I think G Adventures needs to do a better job at setting people',s expectations before the trip and for that reason, I would be hesitant to recommend G Adventures lest my friend take a trip that is barely what was advertised.
