KENAI, Alaska - May 18, 2016 - PRLog -- Ideas for family vacations get tossed along with salads at the family dinner table. And because planning should be part of the fun, following are a few tips from the experts to sprinkle into the family conversation about where to go this year.

Great Alaska Adventures (http://www.greatalaska.com/) that has helped families plan trips up to the Last Frontier, Alaska, for over 30 years underscores the importance of…

1.          Choosing a location everyone in the family is excited about.

2.          Picking a destination offering children and adults a range of activities.

3.          Making a game of sampling new food and beverages while away from home.

4.     Trying a totally new sport or activity such as sea kayaking or fly fishing.

Families seem drawn to Alaska and its seemingly endless scenery and outdoor options.

"Our family business in Alaska is growing, up 30 percent over just three years ago," says Kent John, co-owner, General Manager, and head of Fishing Operations for Great Alaska Adventures (http://www.greatalaska.com/). "We know the destination is exciting. We guarantee that nobody gets bored because every day there's a new place to visit and a different activity related to where we're going.  And even though we believe that sampling new foods is part of the vacation fun, we do believe helping children feel at home is really important and therefore we offer kid-pleasing menus as well as gourmet fare for the adults."

This company's family-specific programs offer with one fully paid accompanying adult a 50 percent savings for one child ages 5 to 15. If there are two adults, then the savings applies to two children.

John and his team suggest these three family-specific programs for the 2016 season (all offer the 50 percent per child discount).

Ultimate Family Adventure available June 1 through Sept. 1 can be for seven days at a per person adult rate of $5,195 or for five days at $3,795. This program combines world-class Alaska fishing, one night at a private, fly-in bear viewing camp, plus glacier and wildlife cruising. The adventure begins on Day 1 when families are met at their hotel in Anchorage for a scenic 135 mile trip deep into the Kenai Peninsula.  After orientation and lunch, the family hops into a bush plane for a 50-minute back country flight to Great Alaska's BearCamp®. Here the family meets the royalty of Alaskan wildlife at camp as brown bears feed and frolic beyond the perimeter of an electrified fence.  From the main lodge on Day 3 the options are salmon fishing or lake kayaking. Day 4 is a choice between a cruise through Kenai Fjords to see whales and puffins, or fishing for halibut. Day 5 is wilderness hiking. Day 6 is a float on the Kenai River to spot Bald Eagles that nest here. Lynx, nesting swans and moose are in store on Day 7 while paddling on calm water.

Alaska Family Adventure Safari available June 1 to Sept. 10 is also seven ($3,895) or five ($3,095) days. Families fish the world famous Kenai or Kasilof rivers with world class guides, hike through remote wilderness, look for Bald Eagles on a river float, cruise through the fjords of Kenai Fjords National Park seeking calving glaciers and, among other sea critters, Humpback Whales, and experience the "End of the Road" in Homer where old-time Alaska reveals a Russian Orthodox Church, a boardwalk and the famed Salty Dog Saloon. Each night guests overlook the most famous stretch of salmon fishing water on the world, the famous Kenai River. Home is Great Alaska Adventure Lodge.

Families can mix up spin and fly fishing. Trolling for salmon and trophy trout combines with off-shore fishing for deep water species. Home during the week is at the Great Alaska Adventure Lodge.
