7 Great Things To Do in Alaska

1) Hop on a chartered boat and cruise along Alaska's thousands of miles of pristine blue waters jumping with salmon and halibut, thick with crab, and visited by Humpback Whales. Experience wild life up-close, in full living sound and color.

2) Take that old train down the White Pass and Yukon Route! Feel the adrenaline of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush as you curve and climb your way around narrow mountain passages and steep breathtaking scenery. Go back home with stories to tell from your daring voyage along this International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

3) Dog Sledding! There are many operators offering exciting dog sledding tours ranging from short quarter-mile samplers to professional 12-day outings. All kinds of challenge for all levels of adventurers. Just make sure to take your camera with you.

4) Flighseeing Alaska is big, so big that the best way to see it is perhaps from the air. Many private chartered planes offer you the chance to take wings and witness the amazing beauty of the Dinali National Park, the Northern Inside Passage, Prince William Sound and its many glaciers, and the Kenai Peninsula, all without setting a foot on land! See the best that Alaska offers and still keep your sock dry.

5) Bear watching you can't say you've been to Alaska if you haven't had the opportunity to marvel at its beautiful bears which should not be confused with our beloved teddy bears. These wild and dangerous kings of the mountains can be viewed from a safe distance thanks to tours specifically designed for that purpose. Join a tour bus leaving for the Dinali National Park or the Brooks River of Katmai National Park.

6) Anchorage Golf Course is for those visitors who'd love to play their favorite game during those times when they are not bear or whale watching, or riding the White Pass and Yukon Route train. The great and peaceful 18 hole golf course is near the Chugach Mountains.

7) Alaska Native Heritage Center displays the best of native culture and folklore with a gift shop where you can shop till you drop and take back home some unique and valuable souvenirs. Don't miss the daily performance of native dances. You'll leave this 26-acre heritage campus with a renewed respect for the richness of Alaska's local culture.
