Gray Line of Alaska, in business for over 60 years, offers a wide variety of tours in Alaska and the Yukon. It offers tours where travelers can watch the Iditarod race or experience Denali National Park, Fairbanks, Prudhoe Bay and the Arctic Circle region. In addition, travelers can choose to tour Alaska partially by bus and partially by rail through Gray Line.
Another major bus line is Princess Tours, which combines ship cruises with extended land tours and hotel packages. Their buses are comfortable, air-conditioned, with restrooms, reclining seats and tinted windows. They travel to and from Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.
The major bus tours can be anywhere from several days to a week and may be costly. Smaller, local bus tours tend to cost much less for a day's trip. The Alaska Park Connection Motorcoach runs between Anchorage, Denali and Kenai National Park. Alaska Direct Bus Lines takes 15 to 21 passengers in buses that are comfortable and restroom-equipped. They travel between Anchorage, Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Tok. Other small lines serve the Kenai Peninsula, Seward and Whittier routes, Cook Inlet, and offer specialty tours for big game photography and sightseeing.
