The state of Alaska is home to hundreds of glaciers; most which are only accesible by bush plane. We'll depart from the Lake Hood Seaplane base and take off for a day of glaciers and wildlife you'll never forget! Some of the most spectacular glaciers are just a short flight from Anchorage, and you'll have the oppurtunity to see these and many others in the region as we fly through spectacular canyons and through mountain passes filled with dall sheep. Whether it's the Knik, Shamrock, Beluga, or one many unnamed glaciers, we can easily fill an entire day following the river-like paths of Alaska's world-famous ice. Some of the glaciers are even suitable for landing, and you are welcome to get out of the plane to stretch your legs and take photos along the way. You can even bring along your daypack and go for a hike near the glaciers! We can concentrate our trip on large areas in places such as Lake Clark National Park, Denali National Park, or Chugach State Park or explore a select-few glaciers in greater detail. This is your adventure and the choice is always yours!

  • Reviewer: George and Ellen Wikle located in Moss Beach, California USA

    "Joe Darminio was our pilot and guide for an incredible adventure as we circumnavigated all of Alaska that few people will ever see. Joe's knowledge of secret locations had us walking alone and up close among dozens of huge grizzlies, visiting remote time-warped Inuit villages, staying in amazing fly-in-only wilderness luxury lodges that overlooked thousands of migrating caribou, and cresting countless spectacular mountain peaks, gigantic ancient glaciers, whale-filled emerald bays and breathtaking waterfalls. Throughout it all, Joe was the consummate professional with just the right amount of humor and respect. His piloting skills and concern for safety were constant as we took off and landed smoothly on narrow streams, remote inlets and tiny ponds. We have traveled and lived all over the world and this was as good as it gets"

Itinerary

Extend your daytrip to include a night or two at a beautiful wilderness lodge where we will be met by our hosts with a home cooked meal and relaxing accomodations. The only way to get to these lodges is by bush plane...So this is truly an unforgettable trip.

First we will be shown to our rooms to freshen up, and get ready for a big family style dinner. The lodges we stay at are often hand constructed from local logs, and feature private guest rooms and cabins for our group. It is a truly wonderful setting and you will have everything that you would want or need, with service to match. At dinner we will discuss our trip and meet new friends.
We love sharing with you our stories from the bush, and I promise a lot of laughing, and good times! After dinner, you might take a walk, boat ride, or simply retire for the evening.
