Proud to work side by side with David Y here in Alaska for 2023! You got a great tour director for sure!

[@EECCTravels]

#SuperDave is the best! ❤️

We were blessed to see Denali on a beautiful clear day!

[@EECCTravels]

I wish the weather would have been better for us!

[@debbieserwe2242]

For me, once on that bus was enough. The one we were on broke down, and we had to wait up on the mountain a couple of hours for another. I was a little scared going up and down the mountian, thought for sure we would go off the side. At any rate had a good day and quite memorable.

[@danakruse7325]

Omg the owner was adorable and what a fascinating background! Glad he was able to share this with you for us!

[@debbieserwe2242]

Now that I listen to more of your video, I take it you guys did not go up the mountian in the school bus. it was a wild ride.

[@mikecuthbertson6674]

If and when you return in Ellie be sure you visit the museum at the University, you won't be disappointed

[@fedex1339]

Great Video. My daughter and I camped at Lynx Creek at base of Denali. I have pics Caribou standing under the pipeline to get some shade. Hope to see you on Jubilee.

[@willianbrennan414]

Wow that was beautiful thank you for the pictures and video

[@janinec7192]

You guys are cracking me up! The videos and info are terrific. Really impressed by Holland America having everything so seamless. They have worked very hard to offer such a great product. Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventure. P.S. I love McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish too!!!

[@gibsonsgpilot]

First of all....The new editing and music is great!!!!!! You are both way more comfortable and fluid on camera. Also really enoyed the knowledge that you both presented! Keep up the great vids!!

[@karencuster6030]

My sister just got back a few weeks ago from a Princess Land and Sea trip. They saw very few animals but saw Denali the whole time they were there. They loved their trip !

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

When we stay in Denali at the Princess Lodge in September, we will be doing an airplane ride to a glacier on Denali and landing and exploring!! Super excited. As for busses in Denial National Park, school busses are allowed, but big Coach style busses are not.

[@tashadallas2121]

Great video! I love how the owner of the restaurant told us some backstory and history of his family. I would have loved to look at all the pictures he has on the wall! So awesome!

[@PhillProbst]

That brought back memories 😁 Took essentially the same flight 10 years ago when my wife and I took a land/sea cruise tour. Except we flew out of Talkeetna. We had booked a glacier landing flight but the weather wasn't cooperating. However, the flightseeing company was sending one of their pilots up in their Navajo to check conditions and they let us come along for the ride. So we got an aerial tour and a full refund since the tour we had booked was cancelled. I did not find the flight to be scary at all. I'm a private pilot so I'm used to it.

[@barbb]

Loving this. Thank you for going for us!

[@jimdgrousedogs]

Looks like a great tour. When we were hiking in Denali National Park we spotted a Lynx about 5 feet off the trail in brush clump. We found out later from a park ranger that seeing a lynx in Denali is quite rare. We were also lucky enough to get to see Denali, which was really neat. We also got to see the sled dogs that the Park actively uses in their work. They are quite a bit larger than the sled dogs that race in the Iditarod, which we saw in Fairbanks.

[@Tom-rd9qp]

You two have done some great trips? Is this one in the top 3? Thanks for sharing!

[@ramonal2205]

Love your vlogs, I flew to Alaska (from Michigan) with my dad as a teenager in a single engine piper, they are bouncy for sure. Going on a holland America cruise tour Alaska in August and am enjoying your journey

[@janedavies7768]

Loving your vlogs I watch a family what live in Fairbanks there a buitifull family there on KZbin there name is summers in Alaska thanks for sharing 🙏🇬🇧

[@debbieschilbe4091]

We went to Alaska in June, and we saw Mt. Denali for two days. I did enjoy the bus ride through the park, seeing all the wildlife (except for the Lynx). We were in Alaska for 10 days, and everything we saw was amazing .

[@EECCTravels]

It’s such an incredible place!

[@intallpines]

Wow! Outstanding footage. I felt like I was up there for a minute. Your video was so good that I don't feel the need to fly Denali myself. Bravo!

[@meaghanheyde1615]

You two make traveling so much fun and interesting!! Can't wait to plan my family's next adventure. Thank you for all you dedication and hard work!!

[@fredbeagle307]

Nice camera work. Looks like 4k resolution. Thank you

[@marywiedenhoeft9210]

Love this video guys. We leave for Alaska in 17 more days and are so excited. Doing the Inside Passage and 2 Glacier Bays days on our 8 day Norwegian Jewel cruise. Celebrating my 4tears Newly wed husbands 71st Birthday with his 1st time to Alaska. I was there in 1997 on a 21 day B2B Royal Caribbean Alaska/4days down the Pacific through a Hurricane 🌀 off of California and a Typhoon off the Pacific Islands/10 days around the Hawaiian Islands cruise. INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE. I noticed it’s still very cold there wor the middle of July ❤

[@lindalaliberte8704]

Loved this video. You really packed lot into it. As usual your commentary was really informative and enthusiastic. 👍Jason was so funny about you mentioning that you guys like McDonald's fish sandwich. Love it!! 🤣 Looking forward to Dawson AK. 🙂

[@markm9947]

This is a great series. You two are awesome. Hope to cross paths one day.

[@timothyanderson976]

I went last year to skagway. We hired of 1956 dehavelin beaver from a guy in Haines, Alaska, and he picked us up, took us out for an hour and a 1/2 and charges 300 bucks. And it was just my wife and I and the pilot, it was the best.

[@christymonk66]

Oh my, you guys are doing the trip my husband and I want to do in the April/ May 2026 (after I retire)! Watching this trip of yours is like a preview for us.

[@karengriswold4537]

Way cool guys! What an epic adventure!

[@blessednettie69]

Absolutely Incredible !

[@julieosborn4586]

You two ROCK!!! We are avid cruisers and you are awesome!!! Because of you, and this trip, I am trying to convince my husband to do this kind of thing!! We have subscribed to several sites, but one of them has changed from a basis of informing cruisers, to someone that just complains about A LOT of stuff. We love positivity, and love information on cruises. You two ROCK!!!!

[@EECCTravels]

Thank you for this!! And definitely do a cruise tour! It is a great experience!!

[@bethstoskopf9746]

Such a fun experience! We loved Gold Dredge #8 on our NCL cruise tour. Your gold filled charm looks great! You seem to be staying at much better hotels than we were put in. We'll remember Holland America if we decide to return to Alaska.

[@JaypeaFoto]

I am loving this series. I have seen Cruise Tours, but had no idea what it meant. Now, thanks to your videos, I understand and it may become my new bucket-list addition. Well done.

[@johnbolton5569]

Man, that was so cool! Hope you enjoyed your trip . 👍🏻😊😊

[@INCWorks]

Loving these Alaska adventures! Hope to experience one myself someday. I don't recall ever having a McDonalds Fish Sandwich, but - if it makes you feel better - my (and my partner's) guilty pleasure is Jack in the Box Tacos.

[@krispressler1005]

We took one of those small planes up to Gates of the Arctic National Park. When we took off and landed in Bettles Alaska, we flew through thunderstorms so it was really bumpy.

[@JamesPickney1]

Alaska is Beautiful! I loved seeing all the wildlife and nature. I have to say I'd be a little like Jason about the small plane ride. :-) Awesome video!

[@lynnfranklin5098]

Good tip showing the snack my hubby is limited in crabs so will bring some nut packs

[@sandym4875]

Wonderful experience! I'm not sure I'm brave enough to get on the plane over Denali!

[@tacrewgirl]

It's cheaper to do a flightseeing tour of Denali from Talkeetna. The Cabin Night dinner theater show is much better at the Denali Park Village hotel. The gold dredge tour was fun.

[@adventureswithmachell]

What a great adventure you two had. National parks are amazing to go visit. I am not sure I would like that plane ride, my husband would love it! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@mimikarenbryant7325]

Wow!The flightseeing tour really puts in perspective the vastness, the SIZE of Alaska! Plus, so beautiful! Love your detailed and personal glimpses of your excursions. KUDOS for including the locals!!!

[@claireywalsh]

This trip is fantastic. We have wanted to do this for ages but holding off until Mads is a bit older and it will be just the 2 of us.

[@EECCTravels]

It is such a fantastic experience!!

[@bartel-shop]

Thanks for your video 😊

[@julierenee523]

Making me wanna go back to Alaska. I imagine the land cruise combo very expensive. Awesome video.

[@dianealvarado6219]

OMG can’t wait for the next video

[@karenglaicar5486]

Wow beautiful scenenary. Nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.

[@lindastover9541]

Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@jeannebush4284]

Amazing views from the plane. Something most of us will never see. Thank you.

[@ashleyhughes2623]

I'm doing Sapphire Princess Vancouver to Fairbanks cruise tour next year. Gosh I hope I get to do the scenic flight.

[@learydarby5923]

Must be nice to travel any and everywhere you want. travel agent Is one of the best jobs Also youtube Keep up the great work

[@barbarawhitecotton9548]

Am enjoying this Alaskan series. Thanks for bringing us along!!💕

[@tannahill5129]

What awesome footage! Thank you so much for sharing this trip. I can’t wait to go to Alaska! You have definitely opened up my world of travel opportunities!

[@bettybedsole9915]

When were you here? Looks like it's still winter.

[@lindsayslaughter8234]

This makes me miss Alaska. I definitely want to go back someday.

[@deshonjb]

Incredible views!

[@danakruse7325]

I remember the problems that occurred years ago with the pipe line

[@mimig6932]

So I think I missed it, the pendant you got, has it got your gold flakes in it? If so, how cool is that. A good keepsake. Looking forward to the next video…..exciting.

[@EECCTravels]

It sure does!!

[@RFE812]

I learned that geography classes in some other countries teach people that Denali & Aconcagua are on the same continent.

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

If you guys ever get a chance to get to Iceland, it’s like being on a whole different planet. It is incredibly unreal and an absolutely wonderful experience.

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

I believe they’ve been; they hav3 a blog of it.

[@jedimindtrixr4kidz294]

When I think of a place on earth that makes you feel like you're on a different planet, I think Socotra Island.

[@jmr1703]

Looking good, Alisa!

[@judyderieux8484]

Fun,fun,fun✨

[@heideleskun1163]

I need to get a J.O.B. being on a "retired" budget is limited. Blessed to be retired but we're not even 60. It's the good and the bad. 😪 I travel through cruise vloggers. So thank you.

[@reneekiela154]

What was your cruise tour date?

[@loishaffner9483]

Amazing

[@wp9426]

Hi, A couple of questions...how far in advance did you book this and how many days land and sea? Certainly looking like something I'd like to do!

[@gerrilarsen29]

I’m staying there for 3 nights in September followed by 7 nights cruise on Holland , disembarking in Vancouver for 2 nights……then back home to Houston! Any suggestions?

[@paulabroadway1697]

You had a Crabby Patty?!? SpongeBob would be proud. LOL Thanks for the Alaska videos!

[@staceybarry2705]

For the dinner show at the chalet would you recommend the early dinner time or the later?

[@ChristyVaccari-Robinson]

Do all the meals that you are having come with the land and cruise tour? Also for 50 to 60 yr old would you recommend Holland or Princess

[@EECCTravels]

No the meals are not included but you can prepay for meal plans. Both HAL and Princess own lodges in Denali. HAL has always been our personal preference.

[@jeffbothel8279]

McDonald’s filet of fish is great!! Only thing I can eat from there

[@hannahwillams9602]

Wow!! What type of gear do y’all use? Specifically action cam and microphones

[@EECCTravels]

If you search our channel, Jason made an entire video on our gear 👍

[@jasbirkaur5795]

If you don’t take the meal plan, is breakfast provided at the hotel?

[@rebeccalyons1327]

I love filet o fish

[@keiththomas6861]

Loved the vlog as always .....sorry did not like the fur part

[@cindygriffiths5917]

We have done that.

[@QuangWynn2711]

Which hotel did you stay at Denali National Park?

[@musclebabies]

I've never see the Alassa pipeline

[@brandishane1559]

I have a question 🤔 My husband and I are taking an Alaskan Cruise for our 25th anniversary. I tend to get sea sick in rough seas. We are going mid September and will be crossing the Gulf of Alaska. Does anyone know how rough the seas are there in mid September?

[@EECCTravels]

I can’t speak to the Gulf of Alaska. But are you sailing from Seattle or Vancouver? Seattle will have a day in the open Pacific that can be rough.

[@brandishane1559]

@EECCTravels were are looking to start in Whittier AK and end in Vancouver. We are looking into a bigger ship and I'm looking to have good "Broadway and or musical shows" and comedy as well.

[@brandishane1559]

@@EECCTravels or something similar to that...

[@gregorydi2646]

Last thing on my bucket list is Alaska.

[@charlesnichols4689]

Their beaches suck!

[@lorettachapman4244]

I love filet o fish from McDonalds too….lol

[@mattygva]

A five hour tour!!!! LOL

[@davisrachele]

I was hoping HAL had upgraded that terrible school bus. They have beautiful buses, I do not know why they use uncomfortable school bus for six hours.

[@randy129]

Hey you know your filet-o-fish from McDonald's comes from Alaska.

[@vickiebridges3584]

I won’t eat a burger from McDonald’s 🤮 but I will enjoy every last bite of a fillet o fish
