The Travel Connection is a local, full-service certified travel agency.

Owner, Randa Szymanski, was born and raised in Haines, Alaska.

We have specialized in independent Alaska tours & cruises since 1986.

The Travel Connection is fully bonded and insured.

In an effort to combat the overwhelming amount of information available to prospective travelers to Alaska, we offer custom tour planning for our out-of-state clients. Since 1986 we have specialized in customized tour planning for all of Alaska. We can design an independent Alaska tour using small cruise ships, remote lodges, village tours, wildlife viewing and more, that will get you away from the crowds and up close to the beauty of Alaska.

We are well-versed in booking Alaska's main attractions such as Glacier Bay, Denali Park, and the Inside Passage. We also have considerable experience in booking the many relatively undiscovered gems such as Haines, Elfin Cove, the Pribilofs, Katmai, and more.

Booking your Alaska tour through us gives you the security of knowing that we have the local knowledge to assist quickly in the event of weather delays or cancellations.
