I am planning a 2 week trip to Alaska in August/September Does anyone have a recommendation for a small land tour company guiding small groups of 10-13 people. Main goal is seeing wildlife, scenery, hiking and wilderness and I'm sure I'll take hundreds/thousands of photos..Willing to do camping or hotels. Anchorage, Denali,Kenai and Wrangel-St Elias. Also if anyone is interested in joining in. Thanks

Timm; We did exactly pretty much the same itinerary and with similar interests in 2016. PM me if interested and I can share our trip with you. We planned and executed the trip on our own and ours was a land trip also.

I had posted a thread/topic here on UHH at that time and got some valuable information and suggestions from fellow members

We have used this company for a trip to Churchill to see the polar Bears and they are top notch. The guides are very knowledgeable and the group is always small. We are signed up with them for a trip for the last week of June and first week of July. Pricey, but if I don’t spend it, someone else will when I’m gone.

I've done 2 Alaska tours with John Hall's Alaska (www.kissalaska.com). They put together really nice tours with good hotels, but they typically have a bus load (~40 people). You can always check them out, though--I'm sure they'd be happy to talk things over with you.

Ill' take a look but really don't want a crowd. Thanks David fyi

We like the The Uncruise company. Small ships, flexible schedules, Captains cooperate with photographers. Not fancy, one dining room one bar on most ships. Their company name gives you the idea of their style.

Alaskan Dream Cruises (https://www.alaskandreamcruises.com/) runs small ships along the Alaska coast, and is one of the firms used by John Hall's Alaska. I spent 9 days on the Baranof Dream ship in 2014 and it was great! Saw lots of whales, had fun kayaking, saw native dancing, etc. That ship carries just 49 passengers.

Lindblad Tours works with National Geographic on a wonderful Southeast Alaska tour. Small boat, attentive staff, great food.
