Creator's Key Takeaways

a cruise to Alaska is the best scenery perhaps on the planet offering Wildlife glaciers adventurous activities culture fabulous hikes and even great food

the first time the family planned a trip to Alaska I was just being a good sport and then we went and it was amazing it was a fabulous trip

Alaska has something to offer for everyone it has the hiking and the scenery and the zip lining and helicopter rides it is truly amazing

my favorite is whale watching it's really best out of Juno or icy straight point they're both geographically very close to each other fantastic well watching
