About Us

CanadianPacificVacations.com is a marketing brand of All Alaska Tours Inc. Our corporate history with Canada goes back over 30 years, starting with ties to the Yukon Territory.  We are based in Anchorage and operate a wide range of vacations in Alaska and across northern Canada.  Internationally we market Alaska and Canadian vacations in over 15 countries. It is fair to say we are the largest international tour operator in Alaska.  We have a great reservation team and you might like to meet them in the office on line.   

The Toughest Training School In The World

If you have never heard of us it might be reassuring to know our company has spent 30 successful years in a tourism environment (Alaska and Yukon Territory) that is one of the most difficult in North America.  We can be credited with helping to pioneer tourism in some places of Alaska and Yukon. From small and humble beginnings, today we offer vacations throughout a vast region that stretches from Alaska’s Aleutian Islands to Nunavut’s Atlantic Coast. Now with Canada West under the brand CanadianPacificVacations.com you can expect the same reliability, customer attention and quality service that is our hallmark.

Why book a Canadian vacation with an Alaskan tour company?

Because we apply the same business criteria to Canada as we do in Alaska. Our stamp of approval is your guarantee that your Canada West vacation will be all you expected and more. 

What is so special about Canada West?

British Columbia and Alberta share much in common with Alaska and many of our visitors are already combining the three regions. Although each is different with its own charm, character and individuality, the style of vacations are similar. Most importantly it is what Canada West has to offer that makes it so exciting. From the Rocky Mountains to Pacific Rim, the region is in a class of its own offering everything from picturesque wineries to gourmet cuisine and from luxurious hotels to remote mountain top lodges. Canada West is also famous names like Vancouver, Whistler, Banff and Calgary. It’s a fishing trip or a shopping trip – the choices are endless and the decisions are up to you.  

Our Family Behind The Screens

In the digital world of 'online everything' seeing and hearing from real people can be quite reassuring. The team at All Alaska Tours / CanadianPacificVacations.com are more than real - they are the company. The ones who keep the flag flying behind the computer screens! Without them we wouldn't be here. Meeting our crew is almost like meeting the neighbours next door. A fine group of people who enjoy sharing their experiences throughout Alaska, Yukon and Western Canada and who bring their own personalities and interests to making other people's vacations the most memorable. I know this all reads a bit biased but that's us - and if we don't write it, who will?
