Adventure Details

Day 1 - After a gear check and orientation, we'll look for Beluga Whales, bald eagles, and mountain sheep as we take one of the most scenic drives in the world to our kayak put-in on Prince William Sound. The afternoon will be spent paddling past waterfalls and bird rookeries to our campsite in the rainforest.

Day 2 - A full day paddling! Our goal is Blackstone Bay where we paddle past huge tidewater glaciers. It's an ambitious goal requiring some mental stamina but we still have time to to look for wildlife along the way.

Day 3 - After a short paddle we're picked up by a water taxi for a quick ride back to town. Time to head a little further south to the Kenai Peninsula and the historic gold mining town of hope. We'll stay at a campground and enjoy the local nightlife at the Seaview Inn.

Day 4 - Six Mile Creek! Class IV - Class V rapids, thundering canyons and lots of fast, cold water make this one of the most exciting raft trips in the area. Dry suits provided, practice swim test required. An unforgettable experience not for the faint-hearted. After the river we'll hit the road north, grabbing a hot shower in Girdwood and pizza in Anchorage before getting to our homestead and Base Camp for the night.

Day 5 - We're up early to explore the Matanuska Glacier. You'll use mountaineering crampons to explore the glacier and try out the exciting frozen vertical world of ice climbing. At the end of the day we'll have an Alaskan-style barbecue and another night at our Base Camp; complete with a soak in our wood-fired hot tub.

Days 6 & 7 - It's time to head into the backcountry for a fast and light overnight backpacking trip. Exact locations depend on weather and trail conditions, the abilities of the team, and our un-ending motivation to explore new areas!
