Why choose Alaska
Alaska's allure lies in its vast, untouched wilderness, awe-inspiring landscapes, and wonderful fishing opportunities. Towering mountains, sprawling glaciers, and pristine forests create a playground for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. See the spectacle of breaching whales in the icy waters of the Inside Passage, or gawp at the mysterious, shimmering hues of the Aurora Borealis. Explore remote national parks like Denali, home to North America's tallest peak, and Glacier Bay, where ancient ice meets the sea. Immerse yourself in Alaska's rich indigenous cultures, where traditions endure amidst modern life. Adventure and wonder await at every turn in Alaska.
Derived from the traditions of indigenous peoples, pioneer spirit, and diverse influences, modern Alaskan culture flourishes. Native tribes, such as the Iñupiat, Yup'ik, and Tlingit, preserve centuries-old customs through art, dance, and storytelling, celebrating their deep connection to the land and sea. Modern Alaskan culture embraces a frontier ethos, where resilience, self-reliance, and community spirit thrive in the face of challenging environments. From the annual Iditarod dog sled race to the vibrant festivals celebrating salmon, Alaskans honour their heritage while embracing innovation and diversity. In Alaska, the culture is as vast and varied as the landscape itself, and the people, themselves.
The breathtaking landscapes of Alaska represent an embarrassment of riches for the region, from the rugged beauty of Denali National Park, where North America's highest peak rises majestically to the icy waters of Glacier Bay (a cruise destination), carving into the sea against a mountainous backdrop. Witness the raw power of nature at the Mendenhall Glacier or marvel at the stunning displays of the Northern Lights dancing across the night sky. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Alaska's indigenous peoples at heritage centres and museums throughout the state. In Alaska, adventure and wonder await around every corner.
