Entrée Alaska

Alaska is wide open
Explore the freedom of Alaska this summer, where vast land and northern hospitality await. From helicopter-led glacier hikes at Winterlake Lodge to cruising untouched waters on a private yacht charter, Entrée Alaska will show you a different side of this great state – one that’s close in distance but nothing like home.
In a region so undiscovered that it’s known as the ‘Last Frontier’, the team at Entrée Alaska are passionate explorers. We’re anglers, dog mushers and float plane enthusiasts. Alaska is a vast and complex region, and we specialize in making sense of it all, creating a meaningful connection between our guests, the local people and the land. We know the finest corners to fish, the remote regions to spot feeding grizzlies and the best lodges where the hosts live and breathe Alaskan hospitality. We live and breathe ‘wild’, giving our guests an insider’s glimpse into the some of the most unspoiled wilderness on earth.

This trip is designed for the active explorer who has a penchant for traveling in style. From a helicopter exploration over glaciers and valleys to cruising the waterways of Prince William Sound by yacht charter, guests will experience Alaska by land, air and sea in an exclusive and intimate environment.
