Why take this tour?

Deep in the backcountry is where memories are made… Whether it’s the exhilarating rush as you step aboard the floatplane, catch the first glimpse of the glacier you’ll be hiking on, the fresh mountain air that fills your lungs, or the sense of wonder gazing into the ice as you stand inside of a glacier. With a friendly, local guide and five days to immerse yourself in unrivaled natural beauty, you’ll smell the fresh air of an ice field, feel the mist on your face from a glacial waterfall, and see Alaska from above and have plenty of time to soak it all in…

Our backcountry adventures are limited 8 guests. Bottom line? A more intimate experience with everything from ice caves to waterfalls.

Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, your experienced and friendly guide will share stories, local history, geological features, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.
