    \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

    Indigenous culture is the heartbeat of Alaska, deeply woven into the state’s history, identity and daily life.

This tasty MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experience in Alaska\u2019s capital, Anchorage, offers an engaging and delicious introduction to the state\u2019s Inidgenous culture on the very first day of your tour.<\/p>\n

    1. Meet giant vegetables at Matanuska Valley farm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

      In the fertile Matanuska Valley, a visit to a local farm offers a fascinating glimpse into the unique agricultural environment of Alaska. This lush valley benefits from the long summer days, during which sunlight extends for nearly 20 hours, providing an incredible amount of natural energy to plants. Combined with the mineral-rich glacial silt that enriches the soil, this creates an ideal setting for cultivating vegetables and flowers.<\/p>\n

      What\u2019s truly remarkable is the farm\u2019s achievement in growing giant-sized, award-winning produce – some of the largest vegetables and flowers in the world. Despite Alaska\u2019s shorter growing season, often just a few months compared to the rest of the country, the region\u2019s farmers have perfected techniques to produce impressive, high-quality crops. The extended daylight hours give plants an extraordinary photosynthetic boost, resulting in produce that is not only massive in size but also sweeter and more flavorful.<\/p>\n

                1. Prince William Sound cruise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Prince William Sound, located in southern Alaska, is a stunning expanse of rugged coastline, towering mountains and shimmering waters. Renowned for its breathtaking glaciers, the sound is dotted with icefields and tidewater glaciers that carve through the landscape, showcasing centuries of geological activity. On your final day of this Alaska tour itinerary, in Whittier, board the 26 Glacier Cruise for a 100-mile (160-kilometre) boat tour of Prince William Sound and into the College Fjord with the chance to see the glaciers up close. You\u2019ll also visit with the Captain in the wheelhouse to learn how he expertly navigates the icy waterways and sit down to a sumptuous lunch against an incredible backdrop.<\/p>\n

                  These immense glaciers are slowly flowing from the coastal Alaska Range and create dramatic fjords and valleys as they inch toward the sea. The region\u2019s geology is shaped by tectonic forces – Alaska lies along the Pacific Plate\u2019s boundary, resulting in frequent earthquakes and mountain-building processes that have shaped the rugged terrain. Prince William Sound is also home to diverse marine life, including humpback whales, sea otters and puffins.<\/p>\n
