Alaska's Kenai Peninsula Adventure

Itinerary at a glance

We gather in Anchorage and begin with a warm-up walk on a scenic coastal path with views of three mountain ranges including Mt. McKinley, North America’s highest peak.

After a spectacular drive to Mt. Alyeska (1 night), we take a forest walk past a series of waterfalls and end the afternoon at the state’s richest gold mine where we can still pan for gold. Our hotel in Seward (2 nights) is ideally set on the banks of the Resurrection River, the perfect starting point for a fascinating glacier walk. We’ll meet up with a marine biologist for a behind-the-scenes tour of Alaska's famous SeaLife Center, and save time for a breathtaking boat trip into the Kenai Fjords.

We’ll watch for moose, bear and caribou as we drive into Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, then offer you the option of a gentle river-rafting excursion or riverside walk. We’ll settle into our lodge in Homer (2 nights) in time to watch the local halibut fishermen return and unload their catch.

After breakfast, we ferry to the starting point of a walk on the fringes of Alaskan wilderness. There’s time for shopping before we sit down to a celebratory seafood feast at one of our favorite local restaurants. On a final leisurely day we visit the fine local galleries and museums before parting company in Homer.
