The Kenai Peninsula showcases many of the best qualities of Alaska, while being the most accessible area in the state. Located just south of our base near Anchorage, the Peninsula is a land of abundant wildlife, sea life, impressive glaciers, lakes, wild rivers, and spectacular coastline. Not only can you enjoy and unforgettable ride through the winding mountain highways, but also experience one of many out-door activities possible along the way. We designed this trip so that you may choose any one of a menu of optional “side trips” along the route. These activities range from: King Salmon Fishing, Halibut Fishing, Bear Viewing*, Flight Seeing, River Rafting (Scenic or white water), Horseback riding, Glacier Cruise, Sea Kayaking….. the list goes on and on! We have priced this trip to include any one of these options in your package. We will arrange anything you want! And, since the entire route is paved, we also offer a rental upgrade option for any one who prefers a Harley Davidson motorcycle!

The Kenai Peninsula Tour is a seven day/six night tour starting and ending in Girdwood (40 miles south of Anchorage). All nights of the tour will be spent in a comfortable B&B’s (or equivalent). This is our shortest tour, which gives us time to enjoy other activities. We will also have a chance to touch a glacier, ride the beautiful Seward Highway ( a National Scenic Byway) and visit quaint seaside Alaskan fishing towns. During the six days of the tour we cover 580 miles of paved highway.
