"Activities were well planned with safety factors well considered. The physical activity combined with hands on learning experience was most rewarding. Everyone at AWA, guides and support staff included are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All of the meals were delicious and creatively prepared. There was always more than enough food and it was quite unexpected to be served, especially with such pleasant attentiveness. Our entire experience was delightful and rewarding. My hope is that AWA will maintain small groups of tourists to prevent the pristine environment from becoming spoiled and overused."

Ask us about extending your Alaska Adventure Packages. We can arrange for pre and post trip bear viewing excursions at a rustic fly-in lodge where, in the company of trained guides, you may observe brown (grizzly) bears exploring their natural habitat. We can also arrange a stay at our charming, boat-in-only Kenai Backcountry Lodge or Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge, an exclusive seacoast destination, both situated on the Kenai Peninsula. If you'd like to venture north, ask about adding a Denali Adventure Package to extend your Alaska vacation. Visit our website or call us for details.
