Ready to discover the far-flung regions of the American continent on an itinerary that will take you to the doors of the Arctic itself? On this spectacular road trip, you'll visit outstanding cities such as Anchorage or Fairbanks, and you'll admire nature in its purest form in the parks of Kenai Fjords and Denali. The breathtaking scenery and wildlife, both on land and at sea, will blow you away! Alaska is a dream destination for the most adventurous travellers. Its glaciers are unique, so much so that some of the most impressive ones in the world are found here. The five that surround the city of Valdez are incredible. This state is so magical that even when night falls, it's extraordinary. In fact, if you're travelling between the months of September and April, you can see the Northern Lights here like nowhere else on the planet. They're an incredible show of nature. But Alaska cherishes many more hidden treasures, such as Santa Claus House, in the charming village of North Pole, or the historic Gold Dredge mine, where you'll discover the footprint left in these places by the famous Gold Rush. And if you're lucky, you might even come across a little nugget or two! Alaska is also a paradise for the outdoor life. Just look at Mount McKinley and dream about adventure sports in these legendary places. On dry land, you can enjoy hiking, winter sports and fun dog sledding trips. At various points on the tour, you can park up and set out on a kayak to explore the frozen landscape from the water, getting close up to icebergs and whales. Particularly magical is the ferry crossing that connects Valdez and Whittier. Get ready to take thousands of photos on this road trip that will also take you to Seward, where pure nature awaits you. Experience one of the most exciting self-drive tours in the whole world and enjoy an amazing holiday."

Important remarks
- Tips in US are a common practice.
- Generally in US the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.
- Driving in the USA: 1.Overtaking on the right is not only legal but everyone does it. And the sooner you get used to roads with more than five lanes, the better. 2.It is legal (and mandatory) to turn right on a red light when there is a signal to do so. 3. With regard to parking, make sure you check when you can park on the street and never park in front of a fire hydrant (even though there are no signs prohibiting it). If there are lines painted on the road to mark out parking spaces, leave the car right in the middle of them, however huge the gap may seem. Be especially careful in the centre of big cities and don't let the parking meter go over by even one minute (check before paying because there are days of the week or certain times when you don't have to pay). 4.Beware of tolls. They will be indicated with the words toll or turnpike and don't usually have a barrier, so you can drive through them without realising and then receive a fine a few weeks later. Don't drive in FasTrak Only lanes and make sure you have some cash on you, as some tolls are cash-only. 5.Unless you want a ticket and a stern chat from a Highway Patrol Officer, it's best not to drive more than five or ten miles above the maximum speed allowed for the road. If the police end up stopping you, keep your hands on the steering wheel and in sight at all times and don't even think about trying to be funny. 6.We recommend signing up to roadside assistance services and a GPS when you hire a car.
- Consult the entry restrictions and additional requirements for people who have previously traveled to destinations such as Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, etc.
- Hotels may charge a Resort Fee charge that must be paid directly at the destination. The amount can vary between approximately $15 and $65 per room per night. This charge is indicative and may be modified depending on the establishment's policy.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
- After booking this road trip, we recommend buying the ferry ticket between Valdez and Whittier, as it's not included in the tour and, depending on the time of year and the ferry you prefer, the crossing will have different dates and times.
