Quality experiences – large and small – set John Hall’s Alaska apart. In operation since 1982, nobody covers more of Alaska or provides a more enriched small-group experience. As a small family-owned and operated tour company with a passion for Alaska, personal attention, exclusive remote access, immersive cultural encounters, and included meals and activities are hallmarks of the John Hall’s Alaska experience.
These guided tours travel to all five regions of Alaska – the Artic, Inside Passage, Interior, Southcentral, and Southwest – and with group sizes ranging from only 24 to 40 guests, John Hall’s Alaska provides a more intimate “real” Alaska experience. Wildlife encounters, native cultural experiences, behind-the-scenes access, outdoor activities, and the finest lodging in Alaska are highlights of every departure. Combined tour offerings feature six of Alaska’s eight national parks and optional trips to the other two can be added before or after any scheduled tour.
Depending on the itinerary, guests explore via a wide range of transportation modes such as luxury motorcoach, small aircraft, GoldStar first-class rail service, and small private charter vessels. To ensure the highest level of comfort, John Hall’s Alaska operates and maintains a custom-built fleet of spacious MCI motorcoaches that represent the best on the roads of Alaska.

We had an amazing experience in every aspect. We wish we had taken the extra cruise option, but because of our great experience with John Hall’s quality, we are planning to take that trip after all next year.
Very well planned out. Every day we were kept on track to ensure we did and saw everything. Our tour guides (Kaitlin and bus driver Larry ) did an outstanding job.
John Hall Alaska’s guides and employees went above and beyond in keeping you informed and comfortable through your trip.
We had a wonderful trip and would recommend to anyone! Everything was taken care of and the arrangements were terrific!
It was a great trip, very well taken care of. Nice that we didn't have to tip for our meals as it was all included in the price. Jeremy was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. Way to much food, but all was very good.
Wonderful experience they were very attentive to details. Made sure all were enjoying and comfortable
This was amazing experience.we couldn't ask for anything more. Every thing was planned out to the t. I would and have tell everyone to go and do this
Marvelous, and not just the scenery! We were treated like royalty from end to end. The best hotels, nothing to worry about, luggage appearing by magic, and incredible adventures. Doing it again in the winter.
We joined the 10 day Grand Slam tour AFTER the Riverboat Discovery tour on Monday due to Covid. We were very fortunate to participate in the remaining 4.5 day tour we were able to attend. Mt Denali was superb. Lots of great eating places and hotels on the tour. Very organized tour. Cabin experience was unique. The bus was 1st class and very comfortable. Our Helicopter Glacier Tour was a highlight, an activity we were able to choose at Denali.
My wife and I had never used a tour company before and were a bit apprehensive after going to a seminar put on by John Hall’s Alaska. Could this company really back up all they claimed? Would their office help with all the airline connections? Would someone from their office actually answer if we called? Would there be any additional costs that we would need to pay? Would there really be someone from John Hall’s waiting for us when we got off the plane in Anchorage? When all was said and done, all those questions were answered in a way that impressed us from start to finish. We would definitely use John Hall’s Alaska again. Yes, there was one unexpected issue because of mechanical issues with a catamaran but John Hall’s Alaska staff and Allen Marine were able to adjust for the issue. We were thoroughly impressed with the total package they offered.
What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! My only regret is not doing it 10 years ago, when I was younger and could keep up a little better! 😊 I will say that the bus tour through Denali could have been a little more enjoyable if we weren't packed into a school bus like sardines. A huge thank you to Bill and Danielle for sharing their knowledge!
This was the once in a lifetime trip for my wife and me. The scenery, service and accommodations were outstanding. We were free to sit back, relax and enjoy a true vacation without any worries. We had great trip leaders who were personable, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Alaska with the entire group. We took in places and things that more than scratched the surface of normal tours. This trip/tour has created lifetime memories we will share from now on. Thanks John Hall and Bill and Danelle.
Couldn't have asked for a better tour experience. It was wonderful not to have to worry about places to eat and to overnight. Our tour guides were superb and so knowledgeable. I felt safe on the tour bus with our experienced driver and the coach bus was very comfortable. Worth every penny spent!!
What a great introduction to Alaska! We hit the ground running and enjoyed every minute of it. Visiting the National Parks was a must. The flight to Wrangell-St. Elias NP was beautiful, as was the flight to Gates of the Artic NP. We got to see a lot of Alaska that many people don't. Loved the Inside Passage - so many Orcas and Humpbacks! Great service from everyone at John Hall's Alaska. A first-class trip! B Varvir
We really had a great time from the moment we arrived there was someone there to guide us to a wonderful adventure. We saw so many animals had so much fun
Overall the tour was very good. Dealing with John Hall's Alaska was very simple and easy. They were always very helpful and got back to us on a very timely basis. The only thing was their timing about updating us about their covid protocols, it should had been done prior to meet & greet dinner. This was disappointing because my wife got covid during our vacation. Again the tour was very good and our tour director was excellent.
I had planned this trip for a long time and it was everything I imagined it would be and more. Super tour guide and awesome excursions!
This was our second John Hall trip to Alaska. Both were excellent- the staff truly has a passion for the state . They were great at sharing their knowledge about everything and really cared about the well being of all guests. Any issues that arose were immediately handled. We highly recommend traveling with John Hall
Outstanding! Every little detail was taken care of. Loved every minute.
