ALASKA DISCOVERY ADVENTURE

Get ready for a fully-immersive, all-inclusive lodge-based Alaska Adventure – another KBA Exclusive!

THE ULTIMATE LODGE BASED MULTI-SPORT ALASKA ADVENTURE!

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive, adventure packed vacation in Alaska, this is the trip for you! Your journey begins in Anchorage when you are picked up by your KBA guide (some of our guests choose to have a rental vehicle, which is totally fine). Brace yourself, you are about to spend the next week having an adventure of a lifetime!

There is some flexibility and options with this package. Your adventures range from mountain hiking, glacier hiking, rafting, wilderness hiking, glacier & wildlife cruise, and fly-in bear viewing. Your nightly accommodations are based on your overall itinerary as some adventure packages require staying in different towns. But, don’t worry we handle everything, and take care of you the whole time.

HOW IT WORKS

Essentially, we have two main adventure packages. While we do have set departures that include pre-scheduled activities for each day – we have structured this adventure to allow you to choose optional adventures for certain days. Please, see the Adventure Packages tab for more details.

We take care of all the logistics, and we maximize your time in Alaska! We take care of all the transportation, and accommodations too – all the accommodations we put our guests up at are top-notch.

All of the activities/adventures we offer are operated by us (except the glacier & wildlife cruise)! You won’t be pawned off from company to company, you may even have the same KBA Guide for your entire trip!

Plan on arriving in Anchorage by 8:00am on the day 1, or better yet the day before (accommodations prior to day 1 are not included.) Your KBA guide will pick you from the airport or your hotel on the morning on day 1. On day 7 you will be returned to the airport or hotel in Anchorage by 7pm.

Accommodations on day 1-7 is double occupancy lodging, ranging from hotels, B&Bs, lodges, cabins, etc.

Additional frequently asked questions and answers:

Are bears and other wildlife going to be a problem?
Bears are virtually everywhere in Alaska, and therefore one should anticipate and be prepared for a possible encounter or sighting of a bear. Moose are a common sighting on the Kenai Peninsula but generally they keep their distance. Kenai Backcountry Adventures takes wildlife safety very seriously and therefore take precautions to keep you safe in the wilderness. In addition, you will learn the necessary safety procedures regarding Alaska wildlife in your pre-backcountry safety orientation.

Will there be bugs?
The most common nuisance bugs are mosquitoes and no-see-ums. However, based on the time of year and current weather conditions insects may or may not present an issue. Generally, there are only a few areas we tend to encounter mosquitoes along our route. Come prepared with insect repellant and a high quality head net.

What will the weather be like?
Weather in this part of Alaska is highly variable and unpredictable. It could be in the 70s or 80s one day and in the 50s and raining the next (or in the same day!). We may encounter snow at higher elevations. High winds can be frequent and may impede travel at times.
