Alaska’s Best Shore Excursions

Mendenhall Glacier, whale-watching tours, helicopter glacier landings and dog-sledding on the icefield, and the Mount Roberts Tramway.

The White Pass & Yukon Route railroad into the mountains, Gold Rush history and hiking.

Totem poles, floatplane flights over Misty Fjords National Monument, and salmon and fishing culture.

Wildlife cruises, bear viewing, Kenai Fjords, and the gateways to Denali.

Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm, depending on your ship. No excursion needed — just a warm jacket and a spot on deck.

Book flightseeing and helicopter tours early; they sell out and are weather-dependent.
Dress in layers and bring rain gear, even in July.
Binoculars make wildlife tours far better.
Excursions in Alaska cost more than in the Caribbean; budget accordingly.
