  • I found this podcast while researching for an Alaska road trip. Jennie's information was great and I became an avid listener. In addition to the podcast, I've used Jennie's service for trip planning. I'm now traveling in Alaska and so happy that I did. The recommendations were spot on. The advice about what to pack, what to do, how to deal with mosquitos was all spot on. If you are considering visiting Alaska this podcast is a must listen. Highly recommend.

  • Jennie is awesome!

    I found this podcast when planning an Alaska trip was still a dream. I’ve loved listening to Jennie (and sometimes Jay) talk about their experiences in Alaska. Guests on the show are interesting and informative. The only problem is Jennie has taught me that we can’t see it all in one trip. I guess we will have to start thinking about a second! (Also join her on Patreon- the planning club is fun and others will ask questions that you didn’t know you had.)

  • The Best Alaska Traveler Podcast

    Love Jennie’s show. I’ve been tuning in every week for the past year or so to plan our 2026 trip. She’s been extraordinarily helpful with tips and discounts.

  • A Must for Alaska Travel Planning

    Jennie does a wonderful job of not only being incredibly informative, but in providing balanced, complete information to help her listeners make the decisions which best suit their own needs and preferences. She (and Jay) have helped me be better prepared for my 2026 trip, but inspired me to start planning a 2028 one too!

  • Clear information

    I have yet to “test” the information provided in this show; my trip is coming up this spring. But I have been very impressed with the wealth of information provided very clearly. Alaska is a huge topic and she breaks it down very well. I recommend people begin listening well before they start making reservations, if possible.

Visiting Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley National Parks in one day from Kotzebue or Fairbanks with Golden Eagle Outfitters
Q: What is your advice for timing of booking with you?
Book as early as you can, especially if you have specific dates in mind; July is the busiest, so securing dates early is important, and you should also be prepared for possible rebooking or flexibility if traveling solo.
Bear Viewing in Homer with Emerald Air Service
Q: What should people wear, bring, and what gear is provided versus what they should bring themselves?
Guests can arrive in casual clothing and will be supplied with appropriate rain gear and jackets; layers are essential due to changing conditions, and guides help confirm that everyone has suitable outerwear and footgear for wet and uneven terrain.
Bear Viewing in Homer with Emerald Air Service
Q: What months can people go on these different types of trips and is there overlap between them?
Brooks Falls trips run mainly in summer with peak access from late June through September; guided expeditions to the Katmai Coast run from late May/early June through August, with overlaps in July and August depending on bear activity and weather; both formats can overlap on some days.
Beauty and Brutality in the Far North - Victoria to Tuktoyaktuk in winter with Josh Wilton (Alaska Traveler Series)

Beauty and Brutality in the Far North - Victoria to Tuktoyaktuk in winter with Josh Wilton (Alaska Traveler Series)
