Break away from the ordinary and experience the legendary with our Alaska Life List Adventure ~ an Alaska trip like no other we know with an amazing sequence of unusual yet attainable adventures. Each day presents an experience likely to find its way onto many an adventure traveler's life list; and we link it all together on this eleven day adventure. No experience is necessary, and while it's truly a legendary expedition, each night we return to an authentic Alaskan lodge with plenty of comfort and wilderness fine dining.
This trip begins in Anchorage and then ventures to Seward, gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park. We travel onward to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the largest National Park in America. At the end of this trip, our guests would have had the opportunity to try their hand at bear viewing, dog mushing, sea-kayaking, fishing, flightseeing, glacier hiking, and white water rafting in some of America's most beautiful and wild places.
