Out of all of the Alaska vlogs I've watched, you're the only one I've seen mention and show the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thank you for watching! We thought it was important to highlight Alaska's rich cultural heritage 😊

[@thetravelingstewarts]

So glad you guys got to see the Alaska Native Heritage Center! It’s a great way to get to learn about the population. I’m from Anchorage and my wife and I recently visited but the Heritage Center seems to only be open in the summer months these days.

[@Harold710]

Fireweed blooms from bottom to top. When it reaches the top, summer is over. It’s a very beautiful plant.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

I did not know that about the fireweed bloom. Very cool plant!

[@kevinfleming9919]

Great Vlog 👍! The entire video had beautiful imagery but the drone shots really gave it a whole new perspective for the areas you wouldn't have seen from the ground or driving with allbthe tree cover. Loved the whale shots and being able to see them undisturbed from the air and not from a boat running alongside them! The bloopers were good. Kevin practically went full William Shatner with the "pause talking"! lol!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Haha, Kevin can give Shatner a run for his money when he's trying to figure out what to say!

[@TravelKiwi]

Hey guys wow Alaska looks so amazing so far m, well Anchorage! Cool to know more about the native hertiage! Oh my god!!! The pod of whales!!! I can’t believe it the drone shots were crazy cool too!! Glad you sent back! Love the wildlife park so cute, love the story behind it too all injured or orphaned animals! Great stuff can’t wait for more from your trip! :)

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks! we had an awesome time and I can't believe we were lucky enough to see belugas!

[@backpackingJas]

Amazing landscape, looks perfect for future advebtures with my vlogs 😄😁

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Go for it! Alaska is awesome. There is so much to see. Let us know if you have questions with your upcomingt trip and we will give advice if we can. We both lived in Alaska for a summer so we saw a fair amount of the state

[@mrich81]

Thank you Kevin for turning back to catch the whales on the drones. Rewind your videos 2x to see that whales. What a treat! Thumb Up!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Glad you enjoyed it! I drove up and down a bunch of times trying to see them. Once I was sure that they were whales I had to put the drone up to get a closer view. So Glad that we did!

[@MercedesVirgo]

Great video! Thank you for giving insight about Anchorage and everything to do there.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Our pleasure! Anchorage is a great city!

[@NickMayer]

Yall Continue to put out some of my favorite travel videos! Such great locations, with a very real feel. Loving the content, it's criminal yall don't have 100k followers. But it's coming! Don't worry, 😁. Keep up the great work!

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks so much Nick! You don't know how much those kind words mean to us. We try really hard with these videos and we really appreciate the support!

[@NickMayer]

@@TheAwkwardTourists absolutely! Been watching yall for a min now. Actually convinced my daughter to skip Florida this year and go to Virgin Islands for first time in April, your videos were awesome! I sent them all to her. And even though I've been there twice, I found myself wishing I'd seen your vids before I went! But I went in 08 and 14 😂

[@stud88100]

Great vlog. I heard Alaska is gorgeous and it is. I loved seeing the wolf on it's back just like a dog would do it

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks so much! Alaska really is like a post card.

[@robyngrieve9665]

Been to Alaska twice and loved it. On my second trip we used the train. As it was in fall, it wasn't too busy but so much fun.🙂🇦🇺

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Ahh so cool! We were going to do the train this trip but it just didn't work out. We're Jealous!

[@dean-ka0trl980]

Love Alaska and you guys are the best. Kevin I love your drone videos especially glaciers and wild life. Kelly you're always beautiful and charming and you amaze me on how you're able to pronounce names, I'm more like Kevin I butcher every language even English. I'm thankful I also have a beautiful and talented wife with good language skills. We've cruised Alaska twice now with extended stay in Anchorage and would love to do it again. Looking forward to more videos. As usual enjoy, keep laughing and be safe.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks so so much for the continued support! Kelly definitely is better on camera, and Kevin has an eye for the cinematic stuff, so it works out well, and if it doesn't it makes for funny bloopers! Kelly first fell in love with Alaska on some family Alaskan Cruises when she was in high school. She actually spoke with some of the tour company employees in port and that's where she learned about the whole seasonal work thing, which led her to the summer job where Kevin and her met. Alaska is a really amazing place and holds a special sentimental value for us. We have some really cool videos coming up that we are excited to share!

[@lizcort5047]

Just booked a cruise to Alaska for May 2024! We want to do Denali on our own , not a land cruise combo. Any suggestions for hotels ? Saw your tiny house stay but we’d like a bit more. Doesn’t need to be five star but bathrooms in our room would be preferred. Love your videos !

[@hmm495]

to Indonesia, and to its areas such as Jakarta, Bali, Kalimantan, and others

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

We've been to Bali and would like to come back again!

[@marklacy3849]

Amazing video! Love the way Kevin got trolled, too. LOL

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks brother!

[@randomfacts6691]

Superb vlog

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thank you 😊

[@co4ch289]

Love your cap 🧢 where’s it from buddy?

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

Thanks, It's a Hippytree Hat

[@ClaireandMichael]

Haha...we've forgot to hit record on the camera several times.

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

It's such a bummer! We have had our microphone not record before too and we didn't realize it until the next day......

[@davidvick749]

CHEEP CHARLY AIRLINE.

[@enricocurcio1610]

After a long long flight, taking of the masks is almost a sexual pleasure lol

[@TheAwkwardTourists]

For real, Almost as good as taking your boots off after a long hike

[@NickMayer]

@@TheAwkwardTourists let's not go THAT far! 😂
