A great trip for getting close to nature
This trip takes in 3 contrasting areas of Alaska; the interior around Denali NP with the options for hiking the trails, or using the inclusive shuttle bus to view wildlife or get to more remote areas to wild hike; the coast and Kenai Fjords NP around Seward with a sea boat trip to hopefully see whales and a hike to the glaciers; and finally to the heart of the Kenai peninsula and a leisurely float down the Kenai river and walking to the falls to watch the salmon run. There’s only 2 travel days, but these are broken up with plenty of stops so don’t seem that long. By camping you are getting the full experience of being in the Alaskan wilderness; the site in Seward whilst being in the town is right on the shoreline so you can watch any marine wildlife.
I’ve done many Exodus trips but this is right up there as one of the best.
Most Inspirational Moment
Becoming one of the 30% of Alaskan visitors who get to actually see Denali as its usually obscured by cloud; the close up wildlife encounters including a moose with 2 young feeding in Denali NP and humpback whales feeding and breaching in Resurrection Bay; and the view across the Harding Icefield and Exit Glacier - well worth the hike up to the view point.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mike is a fantastic tour guide and was very much a part of the group; hard working, very experienced and with a wealth of knowledge on the history of Alaska, and plenty of other stories to tell!
Advice for Potential Travellers
The Alaskan climate can be temperamental so you'll be taking layers off or putting waterproofs on regularly; and don't forget the insect repellent.

Fantastic and unforgettable trip
My first trip to Alaska far more exceeded my expectations with its majestic nature and landscape. The whole trip was extremely well organized by the leader and a relatively small size of group (6 persons) created friendly and cosy ambiance throughout the trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
To be exposed to the vast and beautiful landscape which was just about every moment of the trip, particularly when encountered wild animals. Camping and sharing responsibility among all participants were also inspiring.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Phil Novak was very professional guide, driver/logistician. His knowledge of Alaska and its nature, history and culture made this trip very interesting. He was very good at creating a friendly atmosphere among the participants which made this trip very enjoyable. He was extremely well organized in setting up our campsites and tents. He was also a very good cook! Good variety of food for breakfast and lunch and we very much enjoyed dishes he prepared for dinner. He was always conscious of condition of each participants and always helpful to make this trip as comfortable as possible.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Luckily we were a group was 6 for the maximum capacity of this particular travel designed for 12 persons. This must have made an huge difference in the quality and comfortableness of this travel, traveling more than 3000 kilometers in a 14-seater van. We also could use two mattresses each for sometimes on hard and bumpy ground. Organization of serving quality meals for only 6 person must have been much easier than serving for 12.
