THE ITINERARY

1 | Into the Wild

Your adventure begins at 7:00 AM at our Kenai flight office, where you’ll meet your fellow explorers and gear up for the journey ahead. After a quick briefing, the excitement builds as you board a bush plane for a breathtaking 45-minute flight over snow-capped peaks and glistening glaciers. Touching down in a remote backcountry zone, you’ll find yourself surrounded by untouched wilderness, far from the noise of civilization.

From here, the adventure truly begins. You’ll embark on a 5-mile hike through pristine tundra, soaking in panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Along the way, enjoy a scenic lunch in the wild, fueling up for an afternoon of exploration. Upon reaching the first campsite, it’s time to set up camp and get settled. The excitement continues as you inflate your packrafts and paddle among floating icebergs, playing on the water like true adventurers.

As evening falls, gather around for a hearty dinner and share stories under the Alaskan twilight. But the day isn’t over yet – opt for an after-dinner hike to catch the sunset or join in for some lively mountain games. This is just the beginning of an epic journey.

2 | Icebergs and Glacial Lakes

Wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee as dawn breaks over the mountains. After a hearty breakfast in the gathering tent, you’ll learn the art of packrafting from experienced guides. Today, you’ll navigate through colossal icebergs on two massive glacial lakes, feeling the thrill of paddling amidst towering ice formations.

The day is filled with adventure as you hike through rugged landscapes, explore hidden corners of the wilderness, and enjoy a picnic lunch in the tundra. As evening sets in, return to camp for dinner, followed by more mountain games or a peaceful hike under the stars.

3 | Glacier Hiking & Rapid Runs

After another energizing breakfast, it’s time to lace up your boots for glacier hiking. Traverse ancient ice formations and marvel at surreal landscapes carved by time. This isn’t just a hike – it’s a journey through an otherworldly realm of ice and snow.

The excitement continues as you packraft around towering icebergs and take on short Class I-III rapids. Feel the adrenaline as you navigate rushing waters, testing your skills and courage. Return to camp for dinner and gather around the fire to share stories of the day’s adventures.

4 | Whitewater Expedition

After breakfast, the day starts with breaking down camp and hiking to the river’s edge. Here, you’ll secure your gear to packrafts and prepare for the ultimate whitewater adventure. The river beckons with 8 miles of Class I-III rapids, winding through rugged canyons and lush wilderness.

Lunch is served along the riverside, surrounded by breathtaking views. After a thrilling day on the water, arrive at the next campsite to set up for the night. Enjoy a campfire dinner and unwind under a sky full of stars.

5 | The Grand Finale

On the final morning, wake up to the crisp mountain air and the familiar smell of freshly brewed coffee. After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to break down camp and pack up your gear one last time. Today’s journey begins with a short but scenic float down the river, surrounded by the majestic Alaskan wilderness.

After this brief packrafting adventure, you’ll reach the take-out point and continue with a short hike through stunning terrain to the bush plane pickup zone. Here, you’ll wait with anticipation, reflecting on the unforgettable experiences of the past days.

By late morning, the bush plane arrives, ready to carry you back over the rugged mountains and glacial landscapes. You’ll return to the Kenai flight office by early afternoon, filled with memories of an epic adventure and a deep connection to Alaska’s wild beauty.
