As you walk among the streets and forests of Pine Island, or paddle your way through the icy rivers of Sitka, or sit waiting for a mighty grizzly to show its face, you will realise that travelling has taken on a new meaning. This voyage is a chance to get to grips with Alaska’s beauty; from the majesty of the snowy peaks and wide, open plains, to the melting pot of culture and charisma. Authentic beauty does not even come close to describing this state.
