Choosing the Right Company
for Your Adventure
When selecting which company to go with for such an important tour, ensure you question several crucial aspects. The focus should be on ensuring that you have a safe and comfortable journey as you explore stunning Alaska destinations.
It is important to ask how many days are spent packing up and relocating. While some tours involve 29 or more moves, ours includes just 22—allowing for longer, more meaningful stays at each destination. This gives you the time and space to truly explore, unwind, and connect with your surroundings. It’s a thoughtful approach to travel that prioritizes depth over speed, making your summer journey not just enjoyable, but genuinely enriching.
How do you choose which great trip to take? Let’s start with what makes each one unique.
Spring Trip Dates: May 18th - July 18th
- Adorable Wildlife: Spring brings out the babies! Think baby bears, moose calves, tiny otters, playful baby goats, and even fluffy eaglets. If you're an animal lover, this is your season.
- Typically Drier Weather: Historically, spring offers drier conditions, though Mother Nature always keeps us guessing.
- Snow-Capped Scenery: The mountains are still dressed in their snowy best, adding dramatic beauty to every view.
- Endless Daylight: Experience up to 20+ hours of daylight! Even when the sun dips, it remains bright enough to explore without a headlamp. More light means more time for adventure.
- Seasonal Celebrations: Join us for a festive Summer Solstice Party in Homer and a memorable 4th of July celebration in Valdez.
This season offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, wildlife wonder, and vibrant community events. It’s an ideal choice for those who want to see Alaska in bloom and bask in the energy of a world coming back to life.
Summer Trip Dates: July 20th - September 19th
- Active Landscapes & Harvest Time: Wildlife may be slightly less visible along the roads, but you'll still encounter plenty throughout the journey.
- Berry Season: Slightly wetter weather ripens the wild berries—perfect for picking and snacking along the way.
- Local Flavor: Farmers' markets are at their peak, brimming with fresh produce and handcrafted goods. It’s a great time to connect with local culture.
- State Fair: Don’t miss the Alaska State Fair—a vibrant celebration of community, agriculture, and entertainment.
- Northern Lights: Each year so far, we've witnessed the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis. It's a breathtaking highlight of late summer.
- Fall Colors: Denali and the Northern Canadian Rockies begin to glow with golden and fiery hues—a photographer's dream.
- Majestic Moose: Moose are sporting full antlers again, making for impressive sightings and unforgettable photos.
- Fewer Bugs by Design: We get asked this a lot! Our routes are intentionally designed to minimize exposure to biting bugs. By varying our direction in Alaska for each trip, we time our visits to avoid peak swarms and stick to breezy, more comfortable areas.
Summer offers a dynamic blend of rich seasonal flavors, cultural experiences, and natural spectacle. It’s ideal for those who want a little of everything: adventure, beauty, and a touch of magic in the sky.
Together, let’s explore the beauty of Alaska.

Assessing Wagon Masters' Expertise
Expertise You Can Trust
When evaluating caravan companies, it's essential to consider the experience and qualifications of their Wagon Masters. Inquire about their familiarity with the Alaska Highway, local routes, points of interest, and regional activities. Getting your RV safely to and from Alaska requires more than just a good sense of direction—it demands seasoned expertise. Our Wagon Master brings exactly that, with 18 successful trips up and down the Alaska Highway. You can travel with confidence knowing you're guided by someone who truly understands the journey.
As an owner-operated business, we have personally traveled with our RV to Alaska since 2014. Unlike companies that rely on Wagon Masters who may have only driven the route once, our in-depth, firsthand knowledge ensures a well-informed and thoughtfully planned journey. Our long-standing commitment to exploring Alaska allows us to guide you to the most rewarding experiences, hidden gems, and memorable moments. Experience matters—and it’s what sets us apart in delivering an exceptional caravan adventure.
Destinations That Inspire
We’ve carefully selected our destinations to give you the very best of Alaska.

This isn’t just a trip; it’s a celebration of the best Alaska has to offer!
A Thoughtfully Designed Journey
We’re passionate about making your adventure both exciting and enjoyable—from start to finish. That’s why we’ve intentionally designed our route to keep drive days easy and energizing, with most travel days under 300 miles. In fact, the majority are closer to 225 miles or less! While a couple of stretches may be slightly longer, we’ve balanced the pace to give you the freedom to relax, explore, and truly experience each incredible destination.
Our calendar gives you a clear picture of mileage and the number of days we stay at each stop, and here’s the best part—we spend more time at each location than any other caravan company. That means you get the time you need to discover the sights, meet the locals, and soak up Alaska’s wonders without feeling rushed. With such a vast and breathtaking landscape to cover, we’ve crafted an itinerary that brings you the very best, at a pace that lets you enjoy every mile of the journey.
