Come explore Alaska on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle! We have put together two great 6 and 7-day itineraries for those who want to see Alaska and ride the paved highways. These tours are 4 and 5 full days of riding; we will pass by Mt. McKinley (North America's tallest peak), cross the Alaska Range twice, visit Harley-Davidson's most northern post is Fairbanks, soak in the natural hot springs at Chena, and enjoy the spectacular views on the Glenn Highway (one of two National Forest Scenic Byways in Alaska). Glaciers, wildlife, open roads….imagine riding through the land of the midnight sun, surrounded by North America's tallest peaks and vast pristine landscapes. For those of you who wish to load your bikes on a ferry and spend the day cruising by Sea Lions, Orcas, Bald Eagles and tide-water glaciers spilling out into the sea, consider our Prince William Sound extended tour. You will love these rides!
We have fashioned an all inclusive package for your group, including HD rental, airport pick-up/drop off, support vehicle, guide, helmets (if needed), all accommodations (B&B's, lodges and cabins), and all breakfasts and dinners. Ferry passage on the M/V Bartlett will also be included in the tour price for those joining the 7-day tour. All you have to do is get to Anchorage, and we are ready to roll!
