Our routes are carefully planned and organized to show you the most attractions at a comfortable pace. You will see all the sights British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska have to offer. By the end of the 34 days, you will have seen all of RVing in Alaska. You may then choose to continue exploring and re-visiting your favorite places in Alaska (as many do) before going home in small friendly groups right down the Alaska Highway following our easy and informative return trip planner. Or, for no charge you may follow us back down the ALCAN to the starting point where we will meet our next tour.

Please Compare

While we believe our tours are the best, you should look around to find the caravan company that best suits your interests and needs. We are not the most expensive nor the cheapest, but the best with what we offer and the tours we visit. When you compare us and what we provide; places we visit and tours we take you will see a big difference between us and all other caravans to Alaska. Most other Caravans have one time hired Wagonmasters and roundtrip itineraries. They lack the experience in Alaska and count going home as part of the tour to make the trips seem longer and more worthwhile.

Meet our past customers at our Florida rally and hear directly from them how wonderful and educational our Caravans to Alaska are. Our photo section goes back 3 years and covers all 3 tours each summer. Visit them to see where we go and what we do in photo album style.
