Every year, hundreds or even thousands of whales can be found feeding or travelling through Alaskan waters. This is a great opportunity to see them up close and personal and to take pictures of orcas, beluga whales and humpback whales among others. It is an experience that you will never forget and one which cannot find anywhere else in the United States. Sport fishing and hunting are also great activities in Alaska. There are tons of species to be caught and the wilderness of Alaska is just breathtaking.

For couples and other romantic people however, the best time to go there is during the winter times. Not only do the prices of accommodation and other necessities drop during this time of year, but it is also the season where you can catch the infamous Aurora Borealis or the Aurora lights. This is something that you will surely not find anywhere else and an experience you will never forget, especially if shared with that special someone.
