Day tours are the bread and butter of sightseeing in every Alaska community: You get to sample the best of Alaska's stunning glaciers, rugged fjords, tundra-clad mountains and of course its wildlife, then still enjoy a nice dinner and sleep in a comfortable bed at night. Most day tours have a specific focus: It might be exploring local indigenous culture, seeing as many glaciers as possible, exploring the World War II artifacts that dot the state or trying fun activities like whitewater rafting or hiking. Either way, you're guaranteed the adventure of a lifetime.
