Beyond the scheduled events, there are many excursions available to enjoy.

AnonymousOn Aug 6, 2025

The pace of the trip was perfect and the itinerary had a good variety of places to see. Having "private" events such as the Denali climber and to the Iditarod dogs made it memorable and special.

Edward S.On Aug 4, 2025

We loved the excursions selected by Insight especially the Talkeetna river float trip, train to Denali National Park and the Whittier Glacier cruise. I would also highly recommend the optional plane ride with a glacier landing with my pilot and the ATV tour was a blast!

AnonymousOn Aug 4, 2025

Our tour guide was very organized and informed about Alaska - we saw the "jewels" of Alaska, such as the Native American elder who talked about her childhood, the man who climbed Mt. Denali, the man who finished the Ididerod 39 times and won 4 times and met his dogs. We took a train in Denali National Park and saw bear, moose, and caribou. We took a small plane and flew over the Alaskan range and around Mt. Denali. And we took a ferry along the coast and saw glaciers, seals, and sea lions.

AnonymousOn Aug 3, 2025

The tour, tour guide and driver were excellent, and the guide and driver worked very well together. The various speakers were also excellent, with the exception of the Native Alaskan Elder at the Heritage Center. In that particular case, our time would have been much better spent touring the fascinating Alaskan Native houses, with one of the young Native Alaskan guides there.

It was a wonderful trip! The various stops, such as at property or the talk by a successful Denali climber, were very interesting - we learned so much, and just marveled at the places we saw and things we heard.

Melinda W.On Jul 27, 2025

Your itinerary was very good. We followed it well. One restaurant, the 49th Street Brewery, I did not feel was up to your normal standard. It was too noisy, too crowded, and the food wasn’t that good, Had a great time with everything else.

Lunch at 49th State Brewery was a bad option. Too far from Grand Denali lodge and food was terrible. Just make everyone have lunch at Grand Denali lodge. Also, We would have liked to stay at Alyeska an additional night instead of going to airport late at night.

AnonymousOn Jul 23, 2025

We saw a lot of interesting places in the short time that we were on the tour. I do like having some time on our own too. I only wish that a few more meals were included.

It's a beautiful area with lots to see and do. If you enjoy wildlife and nature this is the place to be.

This was an excellent trip. The first two days were a little slow, but after that it really picks up and was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. Alaska is beautiful and Insight put together a great itinerary.

I wanted to share my positive experience with Bookmundi regarding my recent 18-day 'Zen and Scenic Japan' tour. The booking process was remarkably easy and hassle-free, which was a huge relief. The customer service team deserves special praise for their patience and polite responses to my many questions, making me feel fully supported. The tour was more affordably priced than similar ones from other companies, and the bonus program was an appreciated addition. Because of this excellent experience, Bookmundi has earned a permanent client. Thank you for such a great journey.
