Reasons Why You Should Put Alaska On Your Bucket List

Many travelers are drawn to less explored areas and isolated regions where excitement and spontaneity rule over home comfort. Non-conventional travel destinations are challenging, fun and often-times the antithesis of the country one grew up in and that’s exactly why we love visiting them.

However, when we think of under-the-radar destinations, the last place on earth that comes to mind is the USA, right? America is probably one of the most visited countries and it’s the crowds, the big buildings and the movie-like views that attract tourists from all over the world. But, there’s this hidden American state that still awaits to be discovered by many curious tourists: Alaska.

Alaska is without a doubt the place to visit for the grittiest adventurers. It’s far, it’s in the north, it’s cold and it’s full of mountains and wildlife. The vastness of the untouched wilderness in this state is captivating and simply alluring. Within Alaska is the largest forest in the country, Tongass, the largest national park, Wrangel St-Elias and the largest state park, Wood-Tikchik. For such an isolated and one may even say forgotten state, Alaska has a lot to offer.

Some of the most mysterious Alaskan wonders are the glaciers. You’re going to literally fall on your knees when you see one. Floating up to a massive glacier with the size of a twenty-something story building and watching and hearing the thunderous crack of ice plummeting into the sea is not just an unforgettable experience, it’s a real meditation for your eyes, ears and soul. And don’t even get me started on the wildlife, because you’re guaranteed to have more than one amazing encounter with eagles, seals, whales and with the help of binoculars you can see a few bears wandering around the vast, green forests of Alaska.

So if you’re still searching for the getaway destination you’ve always wanted to visit but never had the courage nor the time to, now may be your chance. With the Alaska cruise excursions you’ll have the chance to explore every beautiful corner of this mysterious American state and come back home with a bag full of interesting stories and experiences. The Alaska cruise excursions range from the sublime to the extreme, from a simple ride on the Yukon Railroad to a hike on one of the beautiful glaciers, it all depends on how daring you are and how confident you feel about exploring the wild wild nature of this frozen, but stunning piece of land.
