Wilderness Guide Ken Wilkinson
Break away from the pack. Build your adventure. Then travel Alaska in confidence.Custom Tours and Trip Activities in Alaska
That’s what Ken Wilkinson discovered while working as a guide in the Alaskan tourist industry. Visitors pay a lot of money to trudge along on a strict schedule with a large crowd aged 6 to 80. These “cookie cutter” trips made it difficult for participants to get the most of their Alaskan wilderness experience.
After talking with guests on these tours, it became clear to Ken that a customized service was needed for those who wanted to break away from the crowds and road tours. After all, isn’t that why most people visit Alaska in the first place?
Thus, Wilkinson Expeditions was born in March of 1995.
