Frequently Asked Questions

TOURS

DO YOU OPERATE THE TOUR?

Yes! We operate all of our tours and charters. Own our motorocoaches and our driver guides receive extensive training from our in-house team of managers and trainers. 

For tours that include a 3-party venue or attraction, we work with trusted Alaskan operators keeping everything 100% local.

DO YOUR TOURS ALWAYS OPERATE OR WILL THEY CANCEL IF THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PASSENGERS?

We are proud to say our tours are considered "Guaranteed Departures." This means all of our tours will operate regardless of the counts.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY TOUR?

Since we work with many Alaska cruise lines, we recommend booking your tours as soon as possible to ensure availability.

CAN I BOOK TICKETS THE DAY OF DEPARTURE?

Our ticket sales are set to close at 5pm the evening before departure. This enables us to prepare and finalize the tour for service. If you miss the sales window by a reasonable time, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please call our office to confirm availability.

ARE YOUR TOURS NARRATED? WHAT IS A DRIVER/GUIDE?

We have a variety of experienced drivers on our team who also provide guided tour narration. Whether you are looking for a fully narrated tour or a more laid-back experience, please let us know! We would love to pair a driver that best suits your needs.

DO YOU OFFER OVERNIGHT OR MULTIDAY TRIPS?

Yes. In addition to any scheduled departures we may have, we can also meet your unique group travel needs. Give a call to discuss what you're looking for!
