Best Transportation Options for Alaska Travel
How to travel through Alaska is a difficult decision. Should you travel by rail, by bus or by rental car? Taking a train allows you to travel in style. You can get up, walk around and have a meal in route. On the motorcoach you travel faster for less money and the bus can stop for photos along the way. We think that we have the perfect solution! Alaska Tour & Travel recommends traveling one way by rail and the other by motorcoach. This solution offers many benefits which include cost savings, time savings and getting to see the most diverse Alaskan scenery!
For example, if you would like to visit Denali for the wildlife, Talkeetna for views of Mt. Denali and Seward for glaciers we recommend the following itinerary. Travel by rail from Anchorage to Denali, spend two nights and take a tour into Denali National Park. Then travel by Park Connection Motorcoach to Talkeetna, spend one night and enjoy a flightseeing trip around Mt. Denali. The next day travel once again by motorcoach from Talkeetna to Seward, spend two nights and travel on a day cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park to see glaciers and hopefully catch sight of a whale. Then return to Anchorage by rail. This loop allows you to experience the benefits of both modes of transportation and you get to enjoy the scenery on both the railway and the road routes. Our packages can be customized however you would like them so you are free to use only motorcoach service or only rail service if that is what you prefer. (more…)
