Alaska & North America | Travel & Adventures

Over the past 40 years, we’ve carved out our reputation as the experts in North America, Hawaii & Alaska adventures with the most comprehensive offering of trips spanning the 50 states.
Award-winning Trips. Do you dream of sea kayaking among humpback whales, hiking Yosemite's historic John Muir Trail, camping in famed Denali National Park, or exploring the crater of an active volcano in Hawaii? Let us take you there! Our trips have been featured in Outside Magazine & Men's Journal as the best!
Insider Access to Alaska. In 2000, we acquired Alaska Discovery, the oldest and largest wilderness company in Alaska, enabling us to offer low-impact Alaska adventures, as well as access to difficult to reach wildlife hotspots. MTS cares about preserving the future of Alaska's wildlife, and that's why we continue to be an active participant in the Alaska Conservation Foundation. Read more about our Alaska adventures.

Your Choice of Accommodations. Lodging varies by adventure from camping and luxury cabins in Alaska, to unique inns in the Southwest, to beachfront resorts in Hawaii.
Local Staff. Our locally-based guides across the 50 states know the ins-and-outs of their home turf, and will make sure you get the most out of your trip – from spotting rare wildlife to keeping you safe and having fun.
Rafting Heritage. We've been pioneering descents down rivers around the world since 1973, when our founders embarked on the first commercial rafting trip down Ethiopia's Omo River. Since then, we've scouted the very best rafting adventures, including Idaho's Salmon River and Alaska's Alsek & Tatshenshini River duo – ranked among the top 3 whitewater destinations in the world by National Geographic.
