What
is the group size on your Out in Alaska adventures?
Generally, 8-10 people. We can arrange larger custom group tours.
Are your trips open to men and women?
Straight friends?
Our trips are open to all members of the LGBT community and our friends.
Due to our small group size, one trip could easily be all men or all
women. If you are particular about who you travel with, send us an
email and we can help you pick the right trip based on group composition.
If I am traveling alone, do I need
to pay the single supplement?
Only if you require your own room. Otherwise we will
arrange a roommate for you and you will pay the regular price.
Are these trips all couples? All singles?
They are a mix of both.
What is the age range of your guests?
18 – 70+ (assuming that folks are in good physical condition).
Gay and lesbian family trips can be arranged on a custom basis.
Please contact
us if you are interested in arranging a custom trip
How do I get to Alaska?
Most major airlines fly to Alaska. Many of our trips start and end
in different cities (Anchorage or Fairbanks) and not all the major
airlines fly to Fairbanks. If you need help, we can arrange a one
way flight between Fairbanks and Anchorage on local carrier Frontier
Flying. If you are traveling with your partner, consider signing up
for an Alaska Airlines mileage credit card—Their Platinum and
Signature cards include a $50 companion fare ticket each year that
you can use to fly to Alaska! Sign up for the card ASAP!

How active are the trips? Can I handle
it?
We recommend two plus hours a week of physical activity/cardio training
(that in itself is rewarding). While we believe that active exploration
(just you and the wilds) is the best way to experience Alaska, our
trips can be enjoyed if you are only in moderate shape. Due to our
small group size, each trip can be adjusted somewhat in their activity
level. For example, most trips have the evenings free and other unscheduled
times with the potential for fantastic hiking and exploring. Others
can use these times to relax! Also many of the physical activities
are optional (i.e., you can decide that you don’t want to go
white water rafting). Finally, attitude is everything. If you are
adventurous and eager to try new things, you will love Alaska and
have the time of your life with Out in Alaska!
What should I bring? How should I prepare?
What is the weather like?
We will send you a trip-specific detailed packing list a month or
more before your trip. Alaska’s weather is unpredictable and
changeable. Summer time high temperatures range from 55-85 in the
Interior to 50-75 on the coast. Sunny weather is common, but rain
is possible at anytime; storms increase in frequency and duration
in late July and August. With a good rain coat, rain pants, and umbrella,
you will have a great time regardless of weather. |
