Get the most on a tight schedule

These "3-Day Wonders" are planned to get you into the backcountry for a taste of real Alaskan Adventure.

Enjoy sea kayaking in spectacular Prince William Sound. We'll look for wildlife, paddle through ice bergs and get close to huge glaciers calving into the sea.

Or explore the world of the Matanuska Glacier. Trek around on the ice, learn the art and skill of ice climbing, and have an exciting whitewater rafting trip down the river formed by the glacier.

If you really want to get out there, join us on a small bush-plane as we fly up into the mountains. Here you'll get a taste of truly remote Alaska!

These trips are run on a custom basis or as add-ons to our scheduled longer trips.

All trips start and end in Anchorage.
