Enjoy a van tour of the native culture and history of the Alaskan people. Wrangell is the only community in Alaska to have been ruled by four nations, the Tlingit, Russian, British and United States. The community is rich in Alaska Native history. Your fully guided tour will give you a glimpse into the world of the Tlingit People.

Once a great nation, the Tlingit's territory spread from Dixon Entrance in the south, near the city of Ketchikan, to the small village of Yakutat, the northern most community on the Inside Passage. The territory that the Tlingits ruled is comparable to that of the country of Norway.

Enjoy a personalized tour of Wrangell's most popular attractions in the comfort of a 7-14 passenger van. This tour is fully narrated and gives you an orientation of the island and its attractions. Six sites are visited.
