From the Field: Alaska Adventures

At Austin-Lehman Adventures, our guests are our best ambassadors. Here's an excerpt from one traveler's journal about her Alaska vacation:

"This is my 3rd ALA trip and I've never been disappointed. I've traveled with other outfitters and regardless of the destination, the guides can make or break the experience. ALA guides have always excelled!"
~ Kristin Newman, Chicago, Illinois

Alaska - Best of the Greatland

A few more reasons why you've gotta go...

  1. The Kenai Fjords nature cruise: it's one of the premier marine wildlife tours in North America.
  2. The seclusion of Fox Island: there's no sign of man as far as the eye can see.
  3. Travel along Crow Creek Pass: stand atop of it in awe of how it was once part of the original Iditarod Trail.
  4. Seward's Sea Life Center: born from the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill, the center offers an up-close view of real-life animal rescue.
