"We SAW ALASKA in a Great Alaskan Holiday Motorhome" Anchorage Transportation Tip by ringleader

Anchorage Transportation: 46 reviews and 49 photos

If you take a cruise to Alaska, you miss so much. If you really want to SEE Alaska, you need to travel in an RV - taking your food, water, bed and wheels with you wherever you go. Alaska is still very much untamed, GEORGEOUS wilderness that can only be seen rightly when you can GET INTO IT.

We rented our RV from Great Alaskan Holidays. There are a number of RV rental places, but we liked this company because they didn't charge for every little extra and gave rs a quality RV.

(Folks, we have to tell you - we felt SO BADLY for the RVers we saw driving the huge billboard "RV-4-RENT" vehicles in Alaska. The company uses their RVs for advertising themselves while you drive them around and have them painted up as billboards. Our camper only had a insignificant little sticker on the back that said, "Great Alaskan Holidays.")

We met a family who wanted the Alaskan cruise experience and the RV experience, too. So, they took a north-bound (only) criuse, then rented an RV to see Alaska, then flew home to Ohio. They also had a TourSavers book, so they did their research-work! (See my Must-See Activity Page)
