Our Family Adventure is perfect for the family that wants to experience all that is Alaska. Each group of 4 or more may have an exclusive departure featuring guided hiking, wildlife cruising, sports fishing, rafting, Bear Viewing and a trip to the “End of the Road . We can easily tailor the activities to perfectly suit your own families  interest and activity level. Our two-room suites with spiral staircase are popular and our evening Beach Guide will take particular interest in developing the children s fishing skills.

Day 1: Pick-up in Anchorage and transfer to the main lodge for a salmon lunch and orientation, after which your guide will take you on a nature hike in the Chugach National Forest. Some may opt, instead, for a Salmon Fishing charter in safe river boats. Return to the lodge in time for happy hour, dinner and overnight. (Bear camp can be added on this first day to this itinerary for an additional charge).
Day 2: Seward, home of the Harding Ice Field, is today's destination. We will hike to the base of a glacier, and then spend the day on what many claim is Alaska's #1 Wildlife Cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park. We may be able to wave to the kayaking guests at our Wilderness Seacoast Adventure Coast. Return to the lodge for dinner.

Days 3: Custom-built Catarafts will take you and your family on a float trip through calm, blue-green waters before they tumble into the more active rollers of a high walled Canyon. Following a streamside lunch, you'll blend into a beautiful glacial lake and then a hike out of the canyon to your waiting vehicle. You ll be back to the lodge in time for beverages, dinner and after meal activities. Overnight at lodge.
Day 4: Homer: No trip to Alaska is complete without a visit to the "End of the Road" and Homer. Enroute we will see early Russian Churches, Active Volcanoes and probably baby moose with their mothers. Your first view of Homer and Kachemak Bay is truly unforgettable and we will spend a fun filled day exploring the art and uniqueness of the famous boardwalk at "Land's End". Return to the lodge in time for dinner.

Day 5: We will paddle and portage the Wilderness Trail in lightweight, inflatable kayaks. This trail, meandering the slow waters of the Wildlife Refuge, is world-famous with adventure paddlers and wildlife seekers. It may be your best opportunity to view wild game up close (Five day trips will depart at 2:30pm by floatplane or commuter flight.).

Day 6: Today will find the family riding behind the Husky dogs of an Iditarod Champion Team. You'll spend time on the trail and with the adorable puppies in training. In the afternoon we'll be heading to a mountain view point in the Chugach National Forest. The exercise and vist will be a treasured family memory.
Day 7: You'll have your choice of a hike to view spawning salmon jumping up a waterfall or a morning Salmon charter - it's your choice. Return to the lodge for showers and goodbyes. Depart the lodge for Anchorage at 2:30PM aboard the floatplane from our dock or via the commuter flight out of Kenai (transfers not included).
