From the Field: Alaska Family Vacation

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

"My family loved the trip. My husband loved the activity, structure, and guides, and for the first time did not even call work. He was having a good time and relaxing so much he didn't want to ruin it. This was amazing and made it so worth it!"

~ Janice Brown, Morristown, New Jersey – 2006 Alaska Family Adventure

Alaska Family - Glaciers & Wildlife

On our Alaska family vacation, you will experience the best of Alaska in 6 days. Explore the Kenai Peninsula at a comfortable pace by train, small ship, sea kayak, mountain bike and foot. Wild, pristine and blessed with an abundance of astounding scenery and wildlife, the wonders of Alaska amaze explorers of all ages.

On this Alaska tour you will hike to the edge of an active glacier. Explore tide pools, brimming with life. Bike past thundering waterfalls along forest paths and kayak protected bays in search of whales, seals and puffins. Sail on a nature cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park and come nose to nose with tidal glaciers and exotic marine life. Learn about the migratory habits of humpback whales and spawning salmon. And top off the day with a tasty s'mores, telling stories around a bonfire under an Alaskan midnight sun.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…

  1. For the gold! Equipped with a sifting pan you'll get to search for real Alaskan gold – finder's keepers!
  2. The S'mores: they’ve never tasted better than roasted over a beach campfire on a secluded island.
  3. The daylight: with Alaska's midnight sun, it's never too dark to play long after dinner.
  4. The zip line across Crow Creek: it's fast and fun – kids love it!
