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!

"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"

- This is a custom departure, meaning this trip is offered on dates that you arrange privately with the provider. Additionally, you need to form your own private group for this trip. The itinerary and price here is just a sample. Contact the provider for detailed pricing, minimum group size, and scheduling information. For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.
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.
