Tour Alaska
There are literally hundreds of Alaskan tours to choose from! Whether you're bringing young children to show them wildlife, nature and a part of history, or taking a romantic and adventurous honeymoon adventure, there is something in Alaska for you. When most people think of cruises, the Bahamas or Hawaii comes to mind, but you can find fantastic seven-night expeditions in peak summer months for as low as $699 (primarily because most people head to Europe during the warmer months). Be sure to save enough money for your adventure to the 49th Us state, as there is no limit to what you can do on this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
In Juneau, a classic Alaskan tour is the "Four Glaciers By Helicopter & Dog Sled Adventure." On this once-in-a-lifetime expedition, you'll soar over four real glaciers, which are the Taku, the Hole-in-the-Wall, Dead Branch and East Twin, while catching a bird's eye view of moose, goats, bears and caribou.
Then you will land on Norris Glacier where you'll meet up with your Alaskan malamute and Alaskan husky dogsled team. Your guide will describe the 1,000-mile Iditarod Race that traverses from Anchorage to Nome. Your trip will include some hiking through crevasses and navigating streams for two hours of ethereal zen. This journey is for the fearless, the cold-insensitive, the adventurous and the athletic.
Do you love the water but find the Alaskan cruise thing too far removed? Hoping for a relaxing and unique wildlife-viewing experience? In Haines, Alaska, you might find the "Wildlife River Adventure" more your speed. First, you'll take a bus through this quaint one-horse town, then you'll visit the world-renowned Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. You'll jet-boat through the narrow glacial channels of the Chilkat River, delving deep into the Alaska wilderness with eagle-nested trees and the playful sea otter's mud-and-snow-hut dens. The expedition finishes up with hot cocoa around a campfire or inside the heated pavilion.
The town of Sitka is well-known for its Russian heritage and pride. When you visit this Alaskan town, you may want to take the "Historic Russian America, Raptor Center & Russian Dancers" tour. The Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center is an amazing sight to behold, with many birds of prey (including bald eagles) circling overhead and swooping by. You'll see America's first Russian Orthodox cathedral, see where the 1804 Battle of Alaska was bought and where the first Alaskan flag was flown in 1867. The Russian Folk Dance troupe will also entertain visitors of all ages. Whether visiting for the nature, the heritage, the fishing or the adventure...this is the place you won't soon forget.

Today's Tip On Alaska
To improve your wildlife viewing while in Alaska, you should bring binoculars and remain quiet on the trails. At Denali National Park, the Tundra tours have high-powered video cameras to show you a more close-up image of the animals outside, yet you will have the option of purchasing the DVD after the trip. Early morning and dusk are the best times to spot wildlife, unless you're at the Anchorage Zoo. Even though a bear tour is offered at 11am, it's best to hit the 7am tour if you want to see anything worthwhile. Additionally, choosing the right season is crucial to your Alaskan wildlife viewing experience. For instance, the best time to see bears at Denali National Park is May to September or July through August at the Anan Wildlife Observatory in the Tongass National Forest. October is the best season for bald eagles in Haines.
