The problem
Alaska isn't like other road trips
The distances are deceptive. The lodges book out a year ahead. Half the places you find online are closed for your dates. You open 40 tabs, start a spreadsheet, read conflicting posts from 2018.
Do you need a 4WD? Which route from the Lower 48? Is the cruise add-on worth it? Every answer spawns three new tabs.
Three hours later, you're more confused than when you started.

Why us
Founded and run by
Yoni Ryabinski
Yoni Ryabinski founded Alaska Road Trip after years of friends asking him to plan their trips. He runs the operation hands-on — every itinerary is hand-built and reviewed by him before it ships. Yoni has driven thousands of Alaska miles across multiple seasons, and that's the knowledge that goes into every plan.

Where the method came from
Real trips. Real plans. Real travelers.
Two friends, describing Alaska trips Yoni planned for them personally — not orders placed through this site. That planning is what became the service. Dates are shown unchanged.
I gave them a rough sense of what I wanted out of Alaska and they turned it into a trip I couldn't have put together on my own. Anchorage, Homer, a glacier hike, a wildlife tour, Chena Dome, and a self-guided day in Denali. Every day was planned but it never felt boxed in.
They've planned two Alaska trips for me now, and both went places I never would have found on my own. One took us two days up the Dalton Highway looking for caribou — we never found the caribou, but we ran into a musk ox instead, which was somehow even better. The other was a day tearing through the backcountry on quads, side by side. They handled every detail and left me free to just enjoy the adventure.

Browse the forumSimple, flat pricing
One flat fee. No commissions.
You pay once for the plan and book everything yourself — so we stay vendor-neutral, recommending what's actually best for you, not what pays the most commission. Your trip's size and how much help you want set the tier. Prices in USD, the same wherever you're travelling from — we plan trips for visitors arriving from the Lower 48 and overseas alike.

Alaska Co-Pilot
Included after delivery
A personal guide for the road, not just another PDF.
After Yoni delivers your route, Alaska Co-Pilot gives your itinerary an app layer with offline-ready route context, curated stops, and narrated guidance for the drive.
- Drive with route context. Follow the custom route Yoni planned, with upcoming stops visible as you move.
- Hear the story behind each stop. Narrated stop cards make the plan feel like a personal tour guide, not a static PDF.
- Stay useful when service gets spotty. Offline-ready trip tools are built for Alaska roads where signal is not guaranteed.
"This is Windy Corner — one of the only roadside spots on Earth where Dall sheep come down nearly to sea level, drawn to a natural mineral lick on the cliffs above the road. They often graze just feet from the pavement, so ease off and watch for stopped cars."
Free on Google Play, included with every custom Alaska Road Trip itinerary — your route loads into the app after delivery. On iPhone? Everything you buy works on any device — the printable PDF, web trip dashboard, and calendar and map exports. Co-Pilot is a free Android bonus, not the product.
About 3% of a typical $6,200 Alaska trip — the 3% that decides whether the other 97% is money well spent. DIY is free, if your 40+ hours are. See how the cost breaks down →

A little less research. A clearer route.
Find your Alaska road trip
Start with the days you have, then choose what to leave out. These starting points assume you fly into Anchorage and rent a car; the drive from the Lower 48 needs extra time.
7 days
A focused first visit
Coast or mountains
Anchorage → Seward OR Talkeetna & Denali → Anchorage
Choose the Kenai coast for a relaxed week, or head north for Denali. Combining both is possible, but means more time in the car and fewer slow mornings.
7-day itinerary10 days
Room for both
Denali meets the coast
Anchorage → Denali → Anchorage → Seward → Anchorage
Split your time between the Interior and Kenai Fjords. Stay multiple nights at each base, and break up the long Denali-to-Seward transfer around Anchorage.
10-day itinerary14 days
A little further, a little slower
Make Alaska your own
Denali + Seward, with time for Homer OR Valdez
Build on the coast-and-mountains route with another region or extra nights where you love it. Choose Homer or Valdez instead of squeezing every town into two weeks.
14-day itineraryLeave room for the road
Miles are only half the story
These are approximate driving times before sightseeing, meals, or construction delays. Give a scenic transfer most of the day, and avoid a long drive before your flight home.
Estimates: ALASKA.ORG mileage chart. Check Alaska 511 before setting out.
| From Anchorage to | Miles | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Seward | 128 | 2½–3 hours |
| Denali entrance | 265 | 4–5 hours |
| Homer | 221 | 5–6 hours |
The route is a start. The details make the trip.
