Would love some input here -- planning a 8 day trip to Alaska for June.
Right now am thinking of flying into Anchorage then driving to Seward for 3 nights, staying in a vrbo on the water to do hiking, cruise, and kayaking. I already found a great house here.
Then I thought of heading to Homer for two nights and another town for 2 nights but getting stuck on that. Some people say they don't think Homer is worth it. For the third area I am thinking of the portage valley area which I read has a good hike.
we are a family of five that is fairly active - ie we would love to do a ten mile hike one of the days, but also like relaxing at a resort
I've been researching online and surprised that it is this hard to figure out, thanks in advance
Updated:
I just booked our plane tickets and I think this is what we are going to do:
1. Do the scenic drive down to Seward and rent a 3 bedroom house right on the bay which is supposed to be a spectacular location, walking distance to kayaking, boating etc.
During this three days we would:
- Do day cruise to the glaciers
- Kayak
- Perhaps day trip to Hope to water water raft or do a day hike
2. On day 4 we would drive to Homer and rent a house at the Lands End Resort which at the tip of the 4 mile Homer Spit, also supposed to be a fabulous location. Here we would do similar things as above, kayak, boat, and hike.
My husband does not want to squeeze Denali into this trip, he just wants to focus on the Kenai peninsula which is fine with me.
Curious to hear any feedback on our itinerary --- thank you! I realize that Homer will be similar to Seward, but I think that is OK.
