About:Out in Alaska is a small tour company that specializes in exciting tours and adventures in the wilds of Alaska. It was founded by avid Alaskan explorer Tim Stallard who often leads the tours, bringing his expertise of the local environment to those willing to get out and explore. Local gay guides enable
you to safely explore the vast wilderness of "the Last Frontier" as you hike, kayak, paddle, or walk along the glaciers. If you wish to see Alaska up close and personal and have an active vacation, the experts of Out in Alaska can make that possible.
Clientele: 95% gay; 80% men; 50% singles

Upcoming trips: Take the Denali and Kenai Fjords Spring Wildlife Tour May 24-31st 2009 and see Alaska in the summer. The tour guides will share their insider knowledge from a local perspective.
