Best Alaskan Wilderness Lodges are Reached only by Floatplane
Alaskan Wilderness Lodges by the Skwentna River might be set on their own emerald-green glacial lake, their own island, or far up a wild river valley, 40 miles from their nearest neighbor. The only way to get there is by small boat or air taxi. Some offer world-class bear viewing and world-class fishing. While most visitors seek out easy-to-reach destinations, you truly own your own wilderness staying at a remote lodge, usually seeing only your hosts and a few other guests.
Lifestyle Wilderness Lodging 3 Days and 3 Nights — Luxury Wilderness Lodges
Note: Don’t confuse roadside wilderness lodges with remote wilderness lodges. Many companies label their roadside lodges as wilderness lodges, but you need to know the difference. Road-accessible lodges are wonderful (and we recommend them)—but they’re often not as wild, exclusive, or upscale as high-end remote wilderness lodges.
Create your Land Tour with a Collection of Alaskan Wilderness Lodges
You can add a 2-3 night remote wilderness lodge stay pre- or post- to any land tour or cruise—or spend a full week and make it your entire Alaska vacation. You’d seldom want to spend more than 3 nights at most roadside lodges.
Personalized service
Your hosts are generally warm and passionate about Alaska. Carrying on the tradition of innkeepers of the past, they’ll likely take you on personalized tours of the area—perhaps hiking, flying to locations of your choice, fishing, bear viewing, rafting, canoeing, beachcombing, kayaking, glacier viewing or dog mushing (in winter). You might go berry picking with your hosts, or bird-watching, or learn how to cook a four-star salmon dinner that you’d pay top dollar for back in the city.
You can also spend your days on your own, doing activities or just soaking up the scenery. These lodges seriously boost your chances of seeing wildlife—maybe right outside your door.
