1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

The most memorable part was the flight from McCarthy - very much weather dependent and I was lucky. However there were a diverse set of experiences, with the glacier boat trip well worth doing.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Be prepared for the weather - I went in July and it was both wet and cold. When you are camping this starts to become an issue. There are lots of optional extras and it is important to think through what you want/can afford to do. Also, this is not a walking holiday but more a tour with a considerable amount of bus travel which makes the stated itinerary a little unrealistic in places.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?

The trip certainly used a good number of small local businesses - in contrast to the big cruise-ship parties. Difficult to judge the environmental impact given the air travel to get there against a mainly camping tour. Also provides Alaska with alternatives to raw material exploitation.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

A well-balanced itinerary which took us to a large number of Alaskan highlights. However distances are deceptively large so there is a lot of minibus travel. Alaska truly is mainly wilderness with relatively little sign of human impact - vast mountains, glaciers and forests are spectacular even in the rain! The final few days at the wilderness lodge are a great way to unwind - it makes quite a shock making it back to London. Overall a very good two weeks.
