Creator's Key Takeaways

60 percent of cruise tour guests do this and do the land portion first so it's more popular to do it this way

gratuities are not included on the land portion of your vacation so that's something that I did not know prior to going into it

Alaska is home to a lot of diverse indigenous communities with its own Rich traditions and his history and you want to take the time to learn about their customs

safety should always be your top priority on Alaska Land Tour whether you're hiking in the mountains or exploring glaciers or taking a tour
