  • Day 1

    Anchorage Arrival and City Tour

    Take a 15-mile trolley tour of downtown Anchorage. Try to arrive before 2 PM to catch the 3 PM tour. Pick a seat on the right side for the best views of Cook Inlet as you visit Lake Hood and Earthquake Park.

    
  • Day 2

    Anchorage to Homer (4.5 hours)

    Drive along Turnagain Arm early to see the bore tide, which can reach 6 feet high. Visit the Wildlife Conservation Centre right when it opens at 9 AM to see the animals most active. The stretch between Portage and Moose Pass offers excellent mountain views, so keep your camera ready.

    
  • Day 3

    Bear Viewing Adventure

    Your destination depends on the weather - either Katmai or Lake Clark National Park. Pack light but bring layers for the temperature changes. You'll need good fitness for the 4-5 mile hike and waterproof boots for crossing streams. A recent visitor said: "Watching the bears fish for salmon just 50 yards away was incredible. Our guide knew exactly when to move closer or give them space."

    
  • Day 4

    Kachemak Bay State Park

    The boat ride to the park takes 30 minutes. Consider motion sickness tablets if needed. The Saddle Trail has great glacier views but can get muddy, so bring hiking poles. You'll walk through three different ecosystems and see impressive cottonwood trees along the way.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Seward and Kenai Fjords

    Go sea kayaking early when the water is calmest. Take the 8.5-hour Kenai Fjords cruise to reach Northwestern Fjord, where you're more likely to see glaciers calving away from the crowds. For the evening Gold Star Dome train to Anchorage, sit on the left for the best views.

    
  • Day 7

    Matanuska Glacier and Talkeetna

    Start with a morning glacier hike. They'll give you crampons but bring warm clothes. For Denali flightseeing from Talkeetna, book the first clear slot available. One visitor noted: "The Ruth Glacier landing was otherworldly. Schedule a morning flight for the clearest mountain views."

    
  • Day 8

    Talkeetna to Denali

    Take the morning jet boat tour for unique Denali views. Wear warm clothes since the river stays cold all year. The drive to Denali takes about 2.5 hours. Book your park shuttle ahead of time if you plan to hike.

    
  • Day 9

    Denali National Park

    Look for wildlife early morning or late evening. Bring binoculars since bears and caribou often stay far away. Head to the Toklat River area (mile 53) for good mountain views if weather permits. Pack for big temperature changes - it can swing 30°F in one day.

    
  • Day 10

    Return to Anchorage (4 hours)

    Plan for a 4-hour drive back. Book flights after 3 PM to avoid rushing. If you have time, stop at the Alaska Native Heritage Center near the airport.
