Itinerary

Day 1
Upon your arrival at the airport in Ketchikan, you will be escorted to the adjacent floatplane dock for a scenic 40-minute floatplane flight to your Lodge on the north end of Prince of Wales Island. Settle in and watch the eagles fly overhead prior to dinner. Accommodations are at The Lodge at Whale Pass, Lodge Room

Day 2
Over your three days at the Lodge, pick and choose among the myriad outdoor adventures on offer. Hundreds of rivers, lakes and streams invite you to cast a line; catch salmon in season, or cutthroat trout year-round. If saltwater fishing is more your thing, head offshore for halibut, king salmon, silver salmon and rockfish. Accommodations are at The Lodge at Whale Pass, Lodge Room

Day 3
Another day at the Lodge offers more options than you can count. Hike or ride a mountain bike along hundreds of miles of remote logging roads, or go caving at El Capitan—the largest known cave in Alaska. Lodge staff can help you spot the wide array of flora and fauna on the island, including blacktail deer, loons, black bears, bald eagles, harbor seals, Arctic ravens, gray whales, wolves, river otters, martin and mink. Accommodations are at The Lodge at Whale Pass, Lodge Room

Day 4
If you haven’t done it yet, we recommend whale watching; a number of species migrate through the inside passage, including the gray, humpback, and orca. Another great option is paddling among the numerous bays and inlets nearby, or strapping kayaks onto a Sports Utility Boat bound for distant islands, fjords and glaciers. Finally, take a day cruise to LeConte Glacier and kayak among the icebergs. Accommodations are at The Lodge at Whale Pass, Lodge Room

Day 5
Enjoy a final morning and lunch at the Lodge before boarding your floatplane bound for Ketchikan and your pre-arranged Alaska Airlines flight to Anchorage. There, a driver will meet and transport you to your hotel amid the Chugach Mountains, a scenic one hour’s drive away. Time permitting, take the aerial tram to the summit of Mt. Alyeska, which offers views of the Chugach Mountains, Turnagain Arm and Glacier Valley. Accommodations are at Hotel Alyeska, Summit Deluxe Room

Day 6
From the Girdwood Airport, a short helicopter flight will deliver you to a nearby ice field, where you’ll receive a personal introduction to the sport of dog sledding. Learn about Alaskan huskies, mushing history, and the Iditarod itself—“The Last Great Race on Earth.” Finally, you’ll harness the dogs and hit the trail for the not-to-miss experience of driving the sled. Later, transfer to Lake Hood to board a floatplane to your next destination. Accommodations are at Winterlake Lodge, Cabin

Day 7
Engage in any number of activities at the Lodge: hike along the historic Iditarod Sled Dog Trail, or along Wolverine Ridge, which offers views of Mt. McKinley and the chance to spot black bears, moose, and wolves; go kayaking or canoeing; take a yoga class or therapeutic massage; or enjoy a cooking class with the resident chef or perhaps lodge owner, Kirsten Dixon. Accommodations are at Winterlake Lodge, Cabin

Day 8
Today’s adventures are supported by a Robinson R-44 helicopter—allowing you to explore the pristine backcountry surrounding the lodge. Your options include sportfishing, rafting on the wild Happy River, hiking to a glacier ridge, glacier trekking on a rarely visited section of the Alaska Range, or dining on Wolverine Ridge. Accommodations are at Winterlake Lodge, Cabin

Day 9
Take a scenic floatplane flight through the Tordrillo Mountains and Triumvirate Glacier to Redoubt Bay Bear Sanctuary. A trained naturalist will take you by boat for an up close and safe view of the feeding brown bears. Late afternoon, board another floatplane to Lake Hood in Anchorage, from where you will be transported to your hotel. Accommodations are at Hotel Captain Cook, Junior Suite

Day 10
Your driver will transport you from your hotel back to the Anchorage airport in time for your return flight. Safe travels!
