Hiking & Camping in Alaska

Take on Haleakala, one of Maui's most imposing, and beautiful, dormant volcanoes, during this 8-hour hike. Challenge yourself with this 11.3-mile (18.1-kilometer) trip at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) of altitude, traveling down into the crater of this rugged volcano. As you walk, you'll enjoy magnificent views and observe local plant and animal life like the spiny 'Ahinahina' (Silversword). Some included mid-trip snacks, plus a post-hike picnic lunch, help keep you fueled up for more adventures. A backpack, raincoat, water bottle and round-trip hotel transport are also covered.

Go further and higher than most glacier treks with this Matanuska excursion. A guide helps you with the more technical features by setting up a rope and anchor system, which allows you to explore more of the glacier than by hiking alone. It's a great way to see the glacier's crevasses, seracs, ice formations, and icefall.

Explore Alaska's rainforest with a guide who leads you on a 3-hour hiking tour that includes a 15-minute sightseeing drive through Ketchikan.

On this guided Haleakala Crater hike, experience the silent, almost lunar beauty of this 10,000 ft (3,048m), dormant volcano.

Gaze around at colorful cinder cones that spring from the crater floor, and look for endangered plants and wildlife like nene geese or silverswords. Lunch and snacks are conveniently provided

Some of the most experienced guides in Alaska lead these private small-group trips, each limited to six hikers. View wildlife, take amazing photographs and connect with the Alaskan wilderness in the company of your family and friends.

Walk on an Alaskan glacier on this day trip from Anchorage to the Matanuska Glacier.
