What people love about Alaska Tours for Seniors
- Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
Me and my wife wanted to visit Alaska and when we saw this tour it was exactly what we wanted! We had an amazing time in Alaska and I believe it was because all the conditions that got mixed on our trip: the nature, the tour people and our guide. Thanks David for the awesome time! Our group was relatively small and the trip felt more like a private tour from the beginning until the end. David was really knowledgeable of Alaska, its wildlife and nature. You could see his passion for it when he was explaining us the wildlife and stories while driving. During the trip there were a variety of activities that are suitable for everyone. My favorite ones were kayaking and wildlife watching. I cannot express enough how good David's eyesight was for detecting bears, goats, whales, otters, you name it! Without his help, I think we would have missed it all. Great experience and Great job Infinite Adventures :)

- Alaska Kenai & Denali Adventure
