Alaska Mountain Guides

From an active strenuous hike to the top of a mountain, to a gentle float trip through the Bald Eagle Preserve, we have a tour for everyone. Delve into a cultural exploration of the native Tlingit people or enjoy an ATV adventure into the wilds of Alaska. Whether Zip-lining through the treetops of the Alaskan rainforest, kayaking amongst bears, eagles and salmon in a serene wilderness setting, or canoeing on an aquamarine alpine lake at White Pass; you’ll be sure to have the experience of a lifetime.

The staff of Alaska Mountain Guides and Chilkat Guides place a premium on our guests’ experience. Every trip that we lead draws on the experience of countless expeditions in Alaska, and around the world. They bring this experience and enthusiasm for Alaska to each and every tour that we operate. Our team of leaders are committed professionals who are exemplary guides. We are dedicated to ensuring our guests an experience that exceeds their expectations!

Get Lost Travel Vans

Get Lost…Be Found.  

Get Lost Travel Vans is a smaller, affordable alternative to the traditional Alaska RV rental. A  camper van is the perfect way to see Alaska! It’s easy to drive, simple to set up, and fun to get  around in. Our camper vans are converted minivans, carrying almost all the comforts of home  but without the price tag or the giant vehicle to go with them. The camper vans come with  kitchenettes in the rear of the van that include a fridge, two-burner stove, and sink with running  water. Inside the van, the seating area converts into a table with benches or into a double bed,  with extra storage found underneath. The rooftop tent pops open to reveal a double bed with  sleeping area for two. All of our van rentals include linens, kitchen implements, and unlimited  mileage! It looks like a regular minivan on the outside, but inside, it’s your home away from  home.

St. Paul Island Tour

Discover one of the world’s last wild places. St. Paul Island is raw and rich with wildlife, especially birds. When you journey here, you leave the crush of tourists and souvenir shops behind. What you’ll find instead is authentic Aleut culture, wide-open spaces and the breathtaking beauty of nature. St. Paul Island Tour is owned and operated by TDX Corporation, which in turn is owned by more than 600 Aleut shareholders of St. Paul Island. Because we know that our environment sustains us and our island’s magnificent wildlife sanctuary, we hold the preservation of our natural resources in the highest regard. Our Commitment to Sustainability: – Ensure that our island remains pristine and free of pollution. – Educate all who visit our island to ensure that they are informed and will comply with all island stewardship policies. – Monitor and check that all who visit our island demonstrate respect for our values, as well as conduct themselves with respect for our island wildlife habitat. – Continue to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and waste of resources, thereby reducing our carbon footprint.

Prince of Wales Excursion Outfitter

At Prince of Wales Excursion Outfitter, we’re in the business of customizing small group adventures especially for clients who appreciate green businesses. We’ve worked with The Nature Conservancy, Destination Wildlife, and The Audubon Society to promote wildlife-based adventures on Prince of Wales Island. We provide full trip outfitting with the best outdoor equipment designed with Southeast Alaska in mind, transport by land and sea, and guided tours, which include cultural tours to the Organized Village of Kasaan.

Camp Denali

Camp Denali’s long standing family ownership is committed to preserving and refining the fundamental elements of our mission: excellence, community, and place. Your Camp Denali experience is personal. It is a unique blend of camaraderie among fellow adventurers and staff in a wilderness environment without parallel. At the core of our guest experience is a chance to be close to the land and, in exploring Denali’s wilderness, to learn about its ecology and history. More than facts and figures about Denali, we hope our guests return home with new ways of seeing, understanding, and taking care of the natural world in their own backyards. In addition, we hope that our own on-site sustainable practices, such as operating on renewable energy with our 90kW solar array and utilizing our greenhouse to grow our own fresh produce, will provide an opportunity for our guests, staff, and other small business owners in Alaska to learn about viable alternatives to the status quo. For us, providing excellent hospitality is not about attending to every luxury or amenity. Instead, we strive to ensure our guests’ comfort, meet their needs, and surpass their expectations.

Boreal Journeys

Our passion is making our guests feel comfortable and connected in the northern Alaskan forest that we call home. We are a small-scale, family-run business focused on providing authentic experiences for our guests. We offer single or multi-day adventures dog sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing. We take only private groups of 1-4 people and customize the experience to each group’s desires to create unforgettable adventures.

We strive to live as close as we can to the place we’re in. We hunt, fish and grow much of our food for us and our dog family. We feed our guests healthy, homemade and local food. We do our best to use technology that doesn’t insulate us from a direct experience with our environment. On a trip with us, you will travel on trails we have cut, stay in tents we have sewn or cabins we have built and use gear that is made from and indigenous to the area we’re traveling in. We live in the place we guide, and we want to make sure that it is still just as beautiful and bountiful when we’re in the ground and future generations are tromping around.

Arctic Dog Adventure Co.

At Arctic Dog Adventure Co., we have a genuine interest in taking care of our clients, our community, and the distinctive landscapes of Northern Alaska. Our speciality is long distance travel by dog sled, providing low-impact access to pristine wilderness areas. We offer dog sled tours rooted in principles of sustainability, authenticity and “rustic luxury” — warm, comfortable accommodations in the most remote and wild places, and an emphasis on utilizing locally sourced ingredients and products. To us, ecotourism is about offering our clients a responsible, authentic Alaskan experience. Travel by dog team is an ideal way to realize this. Sled dogs have been part of the Northern landscape for millennia. Their thick fur, tough pads and indomitable desire to pull make them perfect companions in Northern travel and exploration.   Our dogs are the heart and soul of our operation. We pride ourselves on offering our huskies the highest standard of dog care possible. Guests who visit us will meet dogs that are happy and content. It brings us great joy to share our love and respect for our dogs, and the landscapes of Interior Alaska, with others.
