The Call of the Wild: Summer on the Alaskan Coast - 2022

Each Vantage Adventure is designed to help you fully experience local culture and to get out and explore while keeping active. We find that these are the two most fulfilling and rewarding ways to transform any trip into an adventure, and into the experience of a lifetime. To that end, we’ve rated each trip to indicate the level of cultural immersion and physical activity, with “1” being the lowest and “5” being the highest.
