We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.

Important Disclosures
Alaska Wildland Adventures owns and operates the Kenai Backcountry Lodge, the Kenai Riverside Lodge, the Kenai Riverside Fishing Program, and the Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge. It does not control certain other third-party entities which may provide goods and services for your trip, including, for example, air or other transportation companies, other lodging facilities, food service providers, and equipment suppliers. The costs and scheduling of travel, accommodations, and associated services, unless otherwise specified, are the responsibility of our guests, and any delays, cancellations, or other travel alterations affecting a guest’s AWA itinerary will be the sole responsibility of the guest. Alaska Wildland Adventures will not assume any additional costs and shall not be liable for any delay, damage, injury, death, or loss of any kind whatsoever due to the acts, omissions, or negligence of any third-party service or transportation providers.
A copy of our Participant Agreement, Guest Information Form and Guest Vaccination Form will be supplied to each visitor shortly after a reservation is confirmed by deposit, and these forms must be completed and returned to our office at least 60 days in advance of the trip.
AWA reserves the right – prior to departure, in its good-faith discretion and in extreme circumstances that warrant it – to adjust pricing, programs, scheduled dates, and itineraries in the event certain conditions outside of its control threaten the health, security, and safety of its guests, employees, or property, including those caused by ‘force majeure’ events (including but not limited to war, acts of terrorism, pandemics and epidemics, civil strife, labor conflicts, and natural disasters), substantial changes to national or global economic environments, acts of governmental authorities, and any other conditions resulting in the complication, impracticability, or impossibility of undertaking certain or all AWA activities. In the event of a cancellation or major itinerary change due to such events, AWA will best assess the amount of available refund or credit toward a future trip with AWA. If a trip is cancelled in progress, the tour operator will best attempt to prorate a refund based on the number of days not complete. In any case, AWA cannot guarantee any refund amount due to cancellations beyond our control and strongly recommends that all guests purchase travel insurance.
If any guests become ill during any point of the trip or lodge stay, AWA staff will follow its guest care protocols based upon the unique needs of the situation. AWA may require guests feeling under the weather to be seen by nearest qualified medical professionals and cleared by a physician before returning to the trip; costs and additional arrangements of medical care while on trip are the responsibility of our guests. We highly recommend travel insurance.
