Solo Travel in Alaska, North Carolina
I had a dream to go on a tour in Alaska. So a few months ago I decided to have a travel tour experience in Alaska. I went there for 10 days and was going to be cruising up the coast of Alaska with Seabourn.
Seabourn is the name of a luxury cruise line. They were very helpful in hosting me on my solo trip to Alaska. I was so excited about this trip. On the first day, we were in Ketchikan.
So that was my first time on a cruise ship, and I didn’t know how this ship would be. When I felt bored, I made a little tour of the ship, and guess what I saw? There was a lift on the ship. Actually, this ship has nine or ten floors. On the back side of the ship, they have a pool and two hot tubs surrounded by all of the natural scenery. That was amazing.
Exploring Ketchikan
Ketchikan is the 1st city of Alaska. This place is also known as the Salmon Capital of the World. Ketchikan City is a cute little coastal town. You will see many colorful buildings there. There I learned about how to fish. We went out fishing, and after that, we were in a wilderness camp. When I was in camp, it was raining outside,e and the weather was so cold. So I wore 4 layers of clothes to get the real Alaskan experience. We had a bonfire going and ate some local fruit.
Sitka, Alaska
It was my dream for many years to come to this place. Sitka looks absolutely gorgeous,s and I didn’t miss walking around to explore. I took some photos and videos. Also, I visited the Alaska Raptor Center. They rehabilitate injured birds and release them after recovery. Alaska Raptor Center has helped to heal over 200 birds a year. When I was visiting this place, I discovered many types of birds.
Endicott Arm
When I woke up the next day, I discovered myself in Endicott Arm. I saw some chunks of ice, and there were seals on these chunks of ice. In the afternoon, I got on one of the Zodiac boats with the adventure team to get a closer look at the ice and seals. The Zodiac boat ride was amazing. You must try a Zodiac boat ride if you solo travel in Alaska. For photography, it was the best thing ever.
Haines, Alaska
The next morning, we started to explore Haines, Alaska. So I went to visit Kroschel Films Wildlife Center. This place can be visited by appointment only. This Kroschel Center is for orphaned animals. It was amazing. There you’ll see many orphaned animals, and they all have a story. I found a two-week-old moose. A bear killed her mom.
Indian Islands Wildlife
The next day I was in the Indian Islands. This is a hotspot for wildlife. I saw puffins, sea lions, and seals there. I saw one of the most amazing things I had ever seen in nature. So we were out on the boats and saw sea lions on the rocks. Sea Lions surrounded us.
Anchorage, Alaska
That was my last day in Alaska, and I was in Anchorage. After the cruise ended in Seward, I came here and decided to spend a few days there. So at first, I decided to visit Beluga Point. This place is famous for enjoying the sunset. Alsos Ie discovered beautiful mountains and fascinating views of the water. I had to wait until 10 pm to enjoy the beauty of the sunset.
