There are many great Alaska adventure travel options for both cruise ship passengers and others visiting the Inside Passage and upper Alaska.
These adventure excursions are geared towards a wide variety of fitness levels, so almost anyone looking for an exciting activity can find an Alaska adventure tour that will be suitable for them.
So from all these great adventure tours, I have picked the one I feel is the best, based on my experience, feedback from travel clients, and research.
THE BEST ADVENTURE EXCURSION
My choice for the best adventure excursion is the four glacier helicopter and dog sled tour, which is offered in Juneau.
This excursion really offers the quintessential Alaska experience. The helicopter tour offers an almost unimaginably stunning view of the mountains, glaciers, and the vast Juneau Icefield.
The helicopter is really by far the best way to get a sense of the sheer size, beauty, and magnificence of the glaciers. It allows you to see that glaciers really are rivers of ice, flowing slowly down from the mountain peaks until finally ending on the shoreline.
The dog sled tour then takes you across a glacier - you are actually riding on a real Alaskan dog sled, in the middle of summer!
This hour ride is the highlight of the trip and maybe of your entire Alaskan vacation. After all, what could be more Alaskan than a dog sled ride?
To me, this might just be the perfect day in Alaska. You finish it off with one last helicopter ride over the magnificent glacier and snow-capped mountains.
To be sure, there are many other great Alaska adventure travel options, but this has to be near the top of anyone's list.
