I am looking into the possibility of taking a solo trip to Alaska, maybe doing one of the planned group trips. I want to go for the scenery and photography, though I would like to do a few activities like kayaking and short hikes. I found some itineraries ranging from $3-5k for a single person and while expensive, they're already planned and include a few flights within Alaska, car travel, some meals, etc., while covering a nice variety of what the state has to offer.

Has anyone done such a trip, or is the most common means of seeing Alaska a cruise?
