 "It's our last night. Everyone's
smiling and a little sad at the same
time.
I'm more stunned than anything. For once,
a trip has lived up to expectations,
even
surpassed them. I may not have caught
any fish, but I'm taking home the bragging
rights to a near-impossible score-the
perfect family vacation."
~ E. Ogintz, Syndicated Travel Writer,

 "I
really enjoyed seeing the humpback and
orca whales! I thought
they
were so
neat and we even got to see an orca jump
out of the water! Kayaking near the glaciers
was also great because you really got a
feeling of how immensely huge they are!
I want to go fishing again because the
salmon & trout we caught were so delicious!"

"The Alaska Explorer
was excellent. Our guide, Kylie Watkins,
was
helpful,
encouraging and always prepared for
changes in plans. The best part of the
trip was
the time on the M/V Babkin with Brad
von Wichman and his wife Kjirsti. It was
tremendously
interesting to be out on Prince William
Sound and to be able to actually kayak
and get off the boat to explore, fish,
hike, whatever. We had good meals on the
boat and in Kantishna. The weather
was drizzly almost throughout, but we
were
prepared by the information you had
sent ahead of time and we stayed dry.
I would
definitely recommend Wildland Adventures
to friends. I feel sorry for those people
who go on the Princess and Holland American
tours. They don't know what they are missing.
I think the trip is well planned as it
is good to have a day in Anchorage
in between Denali and Prince William
Sound
to mail postcards, buy gifts, go to
the museums, etc. Thanks again. It was
great!"

"Wildland Adventures guide
Kylie Watkings was enthusiastic, knowledgable,
tireless and especially with our three
grandchildren, she gave her all. This
was a memorable trip. Wildland's planning,
Kylies implementation, astonishing sights
and the ability to learn and feel the
unique qualities of Alaska and its special
people."
~ S & S Fields
Alaska Explorer
"Our cruise was led by Brad
Von Wichman and Alex Davis. Their depth
of knowledge, enthusiasm and passion
for Alaska made our trip memorable. Meals
aboard the M/V Alexandra were truly gourmet,
Alex did a superb job."
~ S & H Dombey
Alaska Explorer
"We felt well prepared before
our departure and appreciate Wildland
Adventures attention to detail. In addition
our guide prepared us for each day and
for each new experience. We would (and
have) recommend Wildland Adventures to
anyone."
~ S. Chandler
Alaska Explorer
"I would tell
other kids to try rafting and kayaking,
and that this
is really fun and might be a once in
a lifetime experience."
~ A. Oman, Age 10,
Alaska Family Explorer
"We
enjoyed Prince William Sound the most.
We liked the freedom of
planning our own activities. Our guide
was excellent. Wildland Adventures
clearly
chose the best lodges for our family."
~ P. Turner
Alaska Explorer
"Alaska is
great! You'll see lots of wildlife.
The best part was seeing
the humpback whale up close, meeting
the sled dogs and riding Stanley the
pony
in Denali. I hope you have a nice family
on the trip with you like we did."
