We begin by travelling to Homer where the road ends and we continue our journey by boat to our luxury wilderness camp overlooking Kachemak Bay and surrounded by the magnificent Kenai Mountains. Experience a true Alaskan adventure in this remote wilderness paradise, with activities such as sea kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, and beach combing. Enjoy home-cooked meals, including a salmon bake, amidst breathtaking scenery.
Then venture to the other side of the Kenai Peninsula for seaside camping near the colourful fishing village of Seward. Choices of activities include hiking Exit Glacier, fishing the waters of Resurrection Bay, or a boat tour of Kenai Fjords National Park. Spectacular views of this rugged coastline and the Kenai Mountains, sea mammals, bird watching and a visit to a tidewater glacier for the sights and sounds of icebergs carving into the sea, are all part of the boat tour.
After skirting around the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Chugach Mountain Range, we spend two nights in Valdez. Tucked away at the end of a glacier-carved fjord, this is the most northerly ice-free port in the Western Hemisphere and the terminus of the Alaskan Pipeline. The next day, you may take the opportunity to explore this part of Prince William Sound by sea kayak.
Next, climb Thompson Pass on the most beautiful drive in Alaska, and follow the Pipeline north where we turn off the main highway and head into the heart of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Camp on the banks of the Kennicott River in the shadow of Mount Blackburn with a beautiful view of Root Glacier.
The next day is free to explore this vast wilderness region from the historic area of McCarthy and Kennicott. Activities available are hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, and glacier walking.Continuing north along the Richardson Highway, spend the night in accommodation, at the foot of the Alaska Mountain Range. Canoe the quiet lakes of the tundra, a birder's paradise, while watching for caribou, or experience excellent fishing for grayling in front of the lodge.
We follow the old Denali Highway to Denali National Park where nature survives in a timeless state. Surrounding the tallest mountain peak in North America, grizzly bears, caribou, Dall sheep, marmots and wolves, all roam the park. Activities such as river rafting, scenic flights, dog sled demonstrations, or walking on a quiet nature trail are available near our lovely campground setting bordering the park.
The following two days are free to explore the backcountry, which offers scenic views of the taiga and sub-arctic tundra, superb opportunities to view wildlife, and access to limitless hiking options for all fitness and adventure levels. Returning to Anchorage in late afternoon completes our excellent adventure.
