Alaska: The Great Exploration

I’ve had great experiences with guides at Discover. I’ve learned a lot in each country I’ve visited. The accommodations are great and trips are very organized. Our guide Karla was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, honest, intelligent, caring and patient. My daughter and I learned so much from the trip thanks to Karla’s guidance. She anticipated the needs of the group and her communication with as great.

The accommodations were beyond fantastic! We slept so soundly, felt safe and were welcomed with open arms. I cannot say enough about the amazing hospitality! The local Discover Corps staff is amazing! They go the extra mile EVERY SINGLE DAY. They are truly the loveliest people and absolutely made the trip. I cannot sing their praises enough. Please please pass along our gratitude once again. I feel like I have family in Tanzania. I LOVE the service aspect of this trip. This was the only company I found that seemed to be family friendly, service oriented with the addition of the safari. I would absolutely book another trip with DC!

We had an amazing first visit to Alaska with Discover Corps. I went with my two kids who are 6yo and 8 yo, and we all had such a great time and saw and learned a lot! Everything is pretty much taken care of - they pick you from the airport, all the transportation between towns and attractions, all the tickets to the sites, local guides on gorgeous hikes through estuaries and forests, guides at Sea life center, all meals except for 2 dinners, and the guide is with you the whole trip. The highlights - scenic gold star train ride, dog sledding in the summer with the Seavey family, fjord cruise, Sea life center, hike through the woods showing us which plants are edible, estuary walks, conservation center where we saw lots of animals, and the small group size. We have been on large group tours before - > 35 people, and this group only had 12 so it was nice to actually get to know everyone. The kids all played well together even though mine were the youngest and the rest were tweens and teens. This is the first of many Discover Corps tours.
