Circling back around the glacier, the plane angles for its descent. You crane your neck, searching for a semblance of a runway, but the scene hasn’t changed. A thick sheet of ice, pierced by intense sunlight, is all you see below. You were told this aircraft can land anywhere. However, surrounded by only ice and sky, the term nowhere seems more accurate.
Alaska is a vast land, dominated by wilderness and dramatic splendor. As most of the terrain is rugged and unreachable, flying is simply a way of life here. Get ready to play in the remotest of places and witness what others have not. Land on riverbeds, steep mountainsides, slick glaciers and soft-sand beaches for unexpected, one-of-a-kind encounters. From discovering an impossible-to-find fishing hole, to touching down alongside Big Horn Sheep grazing on a rocky crag, this is your chance to walk where no one has before.

Sky Trekking
Create your wish list and we’ll bring it to life on a private flightseeing tour. Whale watch over Kenai Fjords National Park or the shimmering glaciers of Alaska’s inside passage, then veer north in search of elusive wildlife. Soar above Denali in the morning and picnic by an alpine lake for lunch. Angle for trout in an impossibly clear river, then fly to an abandoned copper mining camp to sleep beneath a bazillion stars. If you’re lucky, the northern lights may come out to dance. Think of this as Alaska your way. It’s classic sky trekking and 100% bespoke.
Homestead Lodge Safari
Journey deep into the Alaskan wilderness and you’ll discover a spectacular retreat nestled amidst 13.2 million-acres of untouched glaciers, meadows, lakes and rivers. Using the lodge as a base, explore North America’s largest national park by air. The pilot is your personal guide and the bush-plane, outfitted with tundra-gripping-tires, is your gateway to a protected wonderland. Each day promises new quests and awe-inspiring landscapes, like touring the Wrangell Volcanic Fields and wildlife watching along the banks of the winding Chitina River. Return to the lodge for wild, Alaskan cuisine and heartening stories of adventure.
