Pribilof, Aleutian and Walrus Islands: Alaska's Best-Kept Secrets
Most visitors to Alaska spend their vacation in the Inside Passage, on the Kenai Peninsula and in Denali National Park. A few fortunate visitors take time to see the northern portion of the state, or to tour Prince William Sound. But those who are looking for a way to see something that is truly off-the-beaten-track should consider exploring the islands off the west coast of Alaska. These windswept islands sport some of the most impressive geography in Alaska, they are also home to some of the richest wildlife populations in the world. Seals, walrus, and other marine mammals, as well as an assortment of exotic marine birds make these destinations some of the most rewarding in the world. GoNorth offers several travel itineraries that take you there.
