Alaska Family Adventure Vacations
Begin your Alaska family adventure vacations by climbing aboard for a fun dog sled ride. Fly across the frozen countryside pulled by a team of hearty Alaskan mush dogs. Alaska Dog Sledding can guide you and the whole family will love it. Dog mushing is a tradition in Alaska. Besides the thrill of the ride it’s a great idea for Alaska wild life watching vacations. The dog sledding will get you safely out into the wilderness where you can view the wildlife such as bald and golden eagles or herds of caribou. If you don’t want to actually get on the sled and mush the dogs you can still enjoy vacation idea as a spectator. Dog mushing is Alaska’s official sport so you will find plenty of races. The largest and best known is the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Another Alaska family adventure vacation idea is a scenic Jet Boat Safari on 20-mile River. Travel on Alyeska Adventure’s high powered jet boats up the river to Carmen Lake. Stop along the way to explore tracks of beaver, bear or moose. Try some fishing, have a picnic or just sit back and enjoy the ride. Imagine the sight of a polar bear crunching his way across the ice of the Alaskan turf. In late September the polar bears travel from the northern ice pack down to the mainland. For the next few months you’ve got a good chance of spotting as many as a dozen or more of these wonderful creatures. Arctic Air Expeditions will take you to Inupiat Eskimo Villages where your Alaska family adventure vacations begin. Alaska Wildland Adventures has an all-inclusive Alaska family adventure vacation at their Kenai Backcountry Lodge. It's waaaay out there on a glacier-carved lake and you can only get there by boat.
