The trend of gifting experiences rather than things continues to gain traction among people celebrating the winter holidays. And why not? Exploring the world or trying a new adventure can create a lifetime of memories that outlast those of any wrapped tchotchke.
The Journal of Positive Psychology has conducted studies centered around the idea of spending money on things that make us happy as opposed to those that bring more “stuff” into our lives. Turns out, people are deciding to gift travel or unique activities to loved ones as often as the latest tangible object; and we, of course, are happy to endorse this trend.
Traveling to Alaska over the holiday season is a perfect time to take advantage of the many tour opportunities available through Greatland Adventures. From trekking on a glacier to chasing the northern lights, there’s a trip for everyone, and we make it our business to ensure a memorable experience that will rival any newfangled gadget.
Some of our most popular holiday season experiences include:

Additionally, our tours are always available for booking as a fully private excursion to allow plenty of time for togetherness.
No matter which type of tour you choose to complete your holiday season activities, be sure to book as far in advance as possible to ensure seats for everyone in your party. Some tours, like aurora chasing and glacier walks sell out fast between December and January, so reserving a spot now means less worry later.
