Ever been on a tour where you feel herded, the tour is of souvenir shops and not the destination, and everything is so catered it seems like you never left home and never got beyond the surface. If so, weinvite you to join Alaska Educational Tours 4-day/4-night or 7-day/6-night adventures throughout southcentral Alaska for a truly extraordinary experience.
What sets our tours apart is that you probe beneath the surface to discover the complexity of Alaskan culture, geography, and wildlife.  Our tours show you the true Alaska other tours miss and create opportunities to interact with the environment and people who make the 49th state so unique. Additionally, all our tours are escorted by Alaskans, who are nationally certified guides, and include land transportation, accommodations, and numerous meals. On Alaska Educational Tours you will learn the history of America's last frontier as you travel our picturesque Scenic Byways and Marine Highways.  You will marvel at some of the world's most spectacular scenery of unsurpassed beauty: icy blue glaciers, dramatic fjords, and awe inspiring mountains.  Marine mammals, nesting shorebirds and roaming wildlife often emerge without notice for a breathtaking surprise. While our shorter trips remain on the road system, our week-long tours include visits to remote destinations off Alaska’s road system to less-frequented locations on the stunning Kenai Peninsula.
With education at its core, Alaska Educational Tours is suited for anyone with the zest for learning and discovery. To acknowledge your experience, you earn an ‘Alaska AdventureCertificate.’ Continuing Education opportunities are available through the University of Alaska for interested guests, especially teaching professionals. In addition to your vacation serving a dual purpose, it may even qualify as a tax deduction!
