Free Shipping on Orders over $50WASILLA, Alaska—Tourism is now the one of the largest income generators for Alaska and a very important aspect of the Alaskan economy.

This is good news, but negatively there are signs of increasing impact from the tourism and outdoor recreation in the state, including those from so called “eco tours”.

The impact is visible, from the development of muddy scars across the fragile tundra left by tour groups, to trash cans full of recyclables at lodges and campgrounds, and sometimes an overall disregard for the pristine nature that makes Alaska unique and special.

Alaskan’s are faced with this influence on the environment as it threatens to jeopardize the very nature of what makes travel in Alaska so special.

Alaska Outdoors wants to contribute to the tourism in Alaska in a positive way by integrating key sustainable travel business practices in a variety of ways- low group numbers (among the very lowest in the industry), smartly organized itineraries lead by experienced guides, top of the line equipment, and intimate knowledge of the areas visited, to name just a few.

Each trip is organized so that the experience is enriching, seamless, and fun without negatively impacting the environment and protecting the wilderness of Alaska that is so unique.
