Join our experienced Alaska Wagonmasters and Staff as Adventure Caravans takes you on the caravan experience of a lifetime to America’s last great frontier, “The Land of the Midnight Sun.” Where else can you experience gorgeous green countryside, the magnificent natural beauty of mountain ranges, shimmering lakes, cascading waterfalls and free roaming wildlife?

We see 1800s stage shows, glaciers and Mt. McKinley (North America’s highest mountain), standing at 20,304 feet. Relive the Gold Rush of 1898 and try your hand at Gold panning. The scenery and wildflowers are spectacular along the beautiful Alaska Highway, Cassiar Highway and at the “Top of the World” Highway. We usually see many wild animals on this tour: Sheep, caribou, elk, moose, bear (both cubs and adults), wolf and bald eagles to name a few. If you are a fisherman, join in on a fisherman’s dream; the salmon will most likely be running in the Kenai Peninsula while we are there and giant halibut fishing is available in Homer, Seward and Anchorage. Enjoy scrumptious salmon, halibut and staff hosted dinners, both scheduled and spontaneous.

Please compare the length of our tours, the cost, the itinerary, etc. with our competition. We are sure you will be pleasantly surprised with what we have to offer. These full service tours are longer than most other caravans and designed for leisure travel with time to relax, shop or explore. We have taken great care to ensure you don’t miss any of the best sights and tours on this once in a lifetime trip. Our staff is committed to our guests and are eager and willing to share their knowledge and experience with you. They want to ensure you have the best RV trip you’ve ever had.

In Dawson Creek, BC we enjoy a visit by the Tourism Director who welcomes you to the beginning of the Alaska Highway. Before leaving we have a group picture taken at the official start of the Alaska Highway at Milepost "0". Take your cameras with you when we tour a big and small game farm and enjoy a special included dinner while at the ranch.

In Fort Nelson, we visit the Heritage Museum. From there it is a scenic drive to Liard River where admission is included to soak and relax in the outdoor hot springs. Next is Watson Lake known as the Gateway to the Yukon Territory. Here we tour the interesting Alaska Highway Interpretive Center and explore the “Signpost Forest” which was started by a homesick soldier in 1942. Over the years, tourists have continued adding signs showing the names of their hometowns. Bring yours and add it to the collection of more than 22,000 signs. En route to Whitehorse we cross the Continental Divide and make several sightseeing stops along the way. This part of the Yukon Territory is very scenic. At Whitehorse we tour the SS Klondike and attend the popular and hilarious Frantic Follies Vaudeville stage show that evening.

Next we head north and take the Klondike Loop into the heart of the Yukon where we can have great cinnamon buns and see Lake LaBarge of “Cremation of Sam McGee” fame.

In Dawson City there's plenty of things to see and do as we step back in time into a Gold Rush boom town. Take a walk around this notorious gold mining town and relive the glory days of the Klondike Gold Rush. While in Dawson City we have a chance to strike it rich and wander through the Visitor's Centre. You're in for a treat when we visit the interesting places of business in this quaint little town from the pages of history. Pretend it's 1898 when we go to Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Palace and enjoy the Gold Rush Days' atmosphere and perhaps do a little partying before attending their live stage shows. Admissions are included as part of your Alaska tour package. You will never forget your visit to the “Midnight Dome.” This place is where we see the sun set and then rise all at the same time. What an experience!

En route to Chicken, Alaska, we cross the Yukon River and drive along the “Top of the World” Highway where the scenery is unbelievable. It is on this highway that we drive within 165 miles of the Arctic Circle. We have plenty of time to pan for gold or do some exploring in Chicken before we celebrate our arrival by holding a “Welcome to Alaska” party that evening.

At Tok, we have time to explore Alaska’s Gateway City and take advantage of fantastic souvenir shopping while there.

On our way to Alaska’s interior we make a stop at Delta Junction to receive an “End of the Alcan Highway” certificate verifying your arrival. We also make stops at Rika’s Living History Homestead, the Pipeline Information Station and the city of North Pole where we visit Santa Claus’ house before reaching Fairbanks. Here we enjoy exciting days including a guided bus tour of the Fairbanks area. We see the Ice Museum and stop for lunch at the “Pumphouse.” We pan for gold and ride the Eldorado Gold Mine train on a tour of a “hands on” working gold mine. That afternoon we enjoy an unforgettable experience at the University of Alaska Museum. Another Fairbanks highlight is a guided four-hour cruise aboard the Stern Wheeler "Riverboat Discovery" on the Chena and Tanana Rivers. This cruise includes a stop at an Athabascan Indian trappers camp. While in Fairbanks there is time for you to shop, relax, explore, fly to Barrow or take an optional drive or flight over the Arctic Circle.

Now for fun filled days at Denali National Park (near the foot of Mt. McKinley) where we take a photo safari via chartered tour bus. We go through the tundra and along the rocky cliffs, both of which are alive with Wild Life including moose, wolves, bears, caribou, marmots, sheep, fox and other kinds of animals. Lunch is included on this picturesque tour. You may choose to go on an optional Nenana River float trip while here.

The Sourdough Mining Company is our host for a fantastic dinner followed by a live stage show in the Wildberry Theatre. One morning we enjoy the Alaska Native Heritage Center where we see native dance performances and local native demonstrations, explore authentic native housing and experience the local native culture. This is one of the best heritage centers in all Alaska. Their motto is: “Explore the past, Experience the people.”

The small coastal community of Seward has fast become one of our favorite stops. Here we enjoy the Kenai Fjords Glacier and wildlife dinner cruise. We have reserved table seating for prime rib and Alaskan salmon, consistently rated as the best dinner of any Alaska cruise ship. The cruise is narrated by a national park ranger featuring towering Alpine, Cirque and Piedmont Glaciers. Watch for lots of wildlife, birds, puffins, eagles and whales on this cruise.

We have included both a sea life tour of the Alaska Sealife Center and a “behind the scenes” guided tour which takes us into the labs and areas where the general public is not permitted. This town is interesting to see and we have allotted plenty of time to explore the city, the harbor area and Exit Glacier, one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska. It is part of the Kenai Fjords National Park and offers opportunities to view bald eagles, black bear, moose and mountain goats.

Next is Homer (The Halibut Fishing Capital of the World), where we view snow covered mountains and glaciers plus sea otters and sea birds galore. Adventure Caravans hosts a staff Barbecue cookout at the RV park. Optional halibut fishing trips, fishing in the “hole” and Gull Island trips are offered here.

Start your Kenai visit with a scenic drive along the Kenai River. Need more excitement? Try your luck at “combat salmon fishing” or watch others participate in this exciting sport. Our campsite has a fantastic view of volcanoes, the mouth of the Kenai River and white beluga whales.

We drive along scenic Turnagain Arm to the “bread basket of Alaska,” Palmer, where huge cabbages are grown. The next day (Except 34-day & 43-day Calgary trips) includes a guided bus tour of the Palmer area and a visit to the Colony House and Pioneer Farms including lunch. We also stop at a musk ox farm where we get up close and personal with these beautiful animals. That evening is spent visiting with Bill Utecht who gives us an interesting history talk about this beautiful area.

We visit Worthington Glacier en route to Valdez, where you enjoy the “Switzerland of Alaska.” Here you have a chance to enjoy the beautiful ambiance and explore this magnificent city. Another highlight of this trip is the wildlife and Columbia Glacier boat cruise of Prince William Sound including lunch. On board we have a chance to view wildlife and learn about the mining, oil, earthquake and fishing history plus hear stories about the first people to explore and live in the Sound. If you are a fisherman, Valdez is a good place to catch world class salmon.

Next we travel through Haines Junction and stay at historic Destruction Bay. A world famous wild-life museum, a Barbecue dinner and a fun evening of homespun Yukon entertainment is part of our program here.

In Skagway we take a self-guided walking tour of this historic small town to find out what it was like during the Gold Rush. We attend Monte Carlo night and the Soapy Smith Vaudeville Show one evening.

Now for the moment you have been waiting for! Next is our all day boat cruise to Juneau, Alaska. We board early morning and start out with a continental breakfast as we cruise through Lynn Fjord, the continent’s largest and deepest Glacial Fjord. We make several photo stops as we travel the inside passage seeing lots of bald eagles, wild animals and hopefully whales on the way. Arriving in Juneau, we enjoy a city bus tour including a guided tour of the State Capital Building, Mendenhall Glacier, the Waterfront and other interesting places. We have a couple of free hours to enjoy downtown before heading back. We board our boat at 5:00 PM that evening for our cruise back to Skagway which includes a light dinner on board. An optional side trip while in Skagway is the White Pass and Yukon Railroad route.

We make an overnight stop at The Northern Beaver Post before heading down the picturesque Cassiar Highway. While in Stewart we visit Fish Creek to watch bears fishing for salmon, have a cookout and perhaps take a drive to Salmon Glacier.

En route to Smithers we drive through a village with historic totem poles. The next morning we head to Prince George, BC, where we spend the night and get ready for our trip back to the USA. That evening we have a special deluxe farewell dinner so we can say good-bye to all of our new friends we met on the caravan and remember the good times and fun we all had on our dream vacation to Alaska and “The Land of the Midnight Sun.”

Please note: The 34-day Alaska Express and 43-day Alaska-Calgary Stampede tours do not stop in Chicken, Valdez or city of Kenai.
