Planning the Ultimate Alaskan Group Adventure: Unforgettable Alaska Shore Tours & Experiences
Thinking about organizing a group trip to Alaska? Well, gather your friends, family, or fellow adventurers because we specialize in making your Alaskan group experience seamless, exciting, and unforgettable. Whether you're dreaming of ziplining over glacial streams, spotting whales in Juneau, or following in the footsteps of Klondike Gold Rush prospectors (minus the frostbite and desperation), we've got you covered!
Here's a sneak peek at some of our favorite group-friendly tours across Alaska's most incredible destinations.
Skagway: Gold Rush Tales & Yukon Adventures
Despite its Gold Rush fame, Skagway never actually struck gold. (Surprising, right?) But what it lacks in golden nuggets, it makes up for in breathtaking scenery and historic charm. Travel along the iconic Klondike Highway and take in stunning views of towering peaks, alpine lakes, and the winding trails that fortune seekers once braved.
Top Tours for Groups in Skagway:
-
Yukon Discovery Tour: Travel farther into the Yukon than any other tour! Witness the beauty of Emerald Lake and learn about the region's fascinating history.
-
Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition: Soar through the Alaskan rainforest while your guides encourage you to attempt some wacky mid-air tricks (completely optional, but highly entertaining!).
-
Sled Dog Adventure & Musher's Camp: Experience one of Alaska's greatest traditions! Enjoy a thrilling sled dog ride and snuggle with future Iditarod champions—aka the cutest puppies ever.
Juneau: Whale Watching & Glacial Wonders
Juneau's waters are a whale's paradise—literally. With at least 150 humpbacks calling this area home every summer, your chances of spotting one are sky-high (or, should we say, sea-deep?). Our tours guarantee whale sightings, so pack your camera and prepare for some serious National Geographic-worthy moments!
Top Tours for Groups in Juneau:
-
Whale Watching Tour: Cruise through Auke Bay with a naturalist guide and get up-close views of humpbacks, orcas, sea lions, and more.
-
Private Icefield Helicopter Tour: Take to the skies for an unforgettable aerial tour of Juneau’s breathtaking glaciers, with an exclusive landing for an up-close experience on the ice.

Ketchikan: Native Culture & Off-the-Beaten-Path Thrills
Ketchikan is a mix of rich indigenous history, stunning totem poles, and—of course—world-class salmon. (Seriously, they don't call it the "Salmon Capital of the World" for nothing.)
Top Tours for Groups in Ketchikan:

Saxman Native Village & Totem Park: Stand in awe of the largest collection of standing totem poles while learning about the traditions and stories they tell.

Beyond the Inside Passage: Anchorage, Denali & Seward
For those looking to explore beyond the major cruise ports, head inland for rugged landscapes, thrilling wildlife encounters, and—if you time it right—the jaw-dropping Northern Lights.
Top Tours for Groups in the Interior:
-
Denali Highway Jeep Excursion: Drive one of National Geographic's "Drives of a Lifetime" while soaking in panoramic mountain views.

Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise: Glide past towering glaciers while spotting sea otters, puffins, and (if luck is on your side) breaching whales.
