TRIP OVERVIEW

Venture out into the wilds of Alaska with our partners Infinite Adventures, owned by our ex-crew Natalie and David. Travelling in a converted school bus, you'll overland through the great outdoors getting the full wilderness experience!

Alaska, often called "The Last Frontier", is the jewel in the crown for adventure travelers in North America. This short but unforgettable trip gets you away from it all to explore the Kenai Peninsula. Hiking, Cruising, Trekking, Canoeing and Kayaking are all included in this amazing exploration into the wilds of Alaska, a region rich in wildlife and one of the most forgotten corners of the natural world with its mountains, lakes, rivers and glaciers.

Spot orcas and humpback whales on a cruise at Seward, hang out at Hope, Alaska's first Gold Rush town, and see bears along the Cook inlet.

ITINERARY

EXPAND ALL CLOSE ALL

Day 1 - Anchorage

Welcome to the largest city of Alaska, most often thought of as the state's capital. Start off your overland journey flying into stunning scenery overlooking the Chugach, Alaskan, Kenai, and Talkeetna mountain ranges. Although Mt. Denali is only visible 20% of the year, there's a chance you could even catch a glimpse. Anchorage is Alaska's most populated area yet it's shared with the likes of bears, moose, and wolves. After your flight into this urban wilderness, make your way to our accommodations for the 6 pm pre-departure meeting followed by a group meal. Take this evening to get to know your fellow travelers and guides.

In Anchorage we stay in a comfortable hostel in downtown.

Accommodation: Multishare Hostel

Day 2 to 4 - Seward

Located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula and Resurrection Bay, Seward is known as the Gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park." Seward is about half day drive from Anchorage. In the afternoon you will have some free time to explore the scenic waterfront of Seward.

The following morning we will experience the national park by boat

Day 5 - Homer

Located on the western side of the Kenai Peninsula and Kachemak Bay, Homer is the launching point for our two-night Adventure Camp. But, don't overlook this artist inspired town with its many galleries along the spit. You will have some time to explore the picturesque town and it's fishermen culture. For example, the Salty Dawg Saloon's lighthouse is a great place to sit belly-up to the bar along with posting your dollar bill on the ceiling or wall so that your friend, who will be by later, will have a drink on you.

On the way to Homer there will be enough time for some scenic photo stops and short walks. Depending on the time of the year we might stop to watch the Salmon Running up Russian River or visit one of the Russian orthodox churches overlooking the volcanoes on the other side of the bay.

Optional Activities: "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World", Bear Viewing Katmai or Lake Clark**Following morning**

In Homer we will camp in an established campground.

Day 6 & 7 - Adventure Camp

ake a boat ride from Homer to Seldovia, landing on this lovely and relatively untouched beach of the peninsula. Camping is done in canvas tents with beds and all the amenities you'll need. There is a beautiful main house where meals, comfortable chairs, coffee and tea are always on tap. From there venture out and comb the beaches for eagles and other aquatic wildlife or walk to find some hidden coves and viewpoints. The next day you'll have a half day of sea kayaking around Kasitsna Bay, frequently visited by sea otters and harbor seals and watched overhead by bald eagles.

One of the evenings the owner Tony will be serving their famous salmon dinner for us!

Today it’s only a short drive around the Turnagain Arm back to Anchorage. Potentially you can see Beluga Whales or Dall Sheep. We will stop at Potter Marsh to spot some of the migratory birds and wildlife that call it home. The afternoon you will have time to explore Anchorage downtown. Anchorage is a lively city that houses almost 50% of the state’s 730,000 people. (Commonly it is mistaken for the capital of Alaska, but that would be Juneau.) Throughout the summer there are multiple festivals, local markets and plenty of nightly live music. Keep in mind that this city is situated right in the heart of the wilderness, where over 1,000 moose, 250 black bears, and 100 grizzly bears also call it home.
