You're in for the journey of a lifetime. The Taku Lodge
experience is much more than a spectacular flight or scrumptious
meal. It's about friends, family and feelings. Its just
what memories are made of. We’ve combined the best
experiences of Alaska for this unique 3-hour excursion.
Glacier flightseeing, a remote log cabin, wilderness trails,
wildlife, and to top it off a scrumptious Wild Alaskan
King Salmon feast.

Fly in a nostalgic floatplane
where everyone enjoys an unrestricted window view and fully
narrated portrayal. View five breathtaking glaciers on your
way to the wilderness lodge. A true Alaskan experience,
your adventure begins the moment you “take off”
from the Juneau waterfront near your ship’s berth.

|
|
The highlight
of your flight will be viewing magnificent glaciers (both
advancing and receding) and deep blue crevasses of the Juneau
Icefield. Snow-capped mountains, cascading waterfalls and
lush forests await. |
The Taku River will be your “runway”
when landing at the Taku Lodge. This historic lodge was
built in 1923 directly across from the picturesque Hole-In-The-Wall
Glacier, one of the few advancing glaciers in Alaska, and
sits amid the untouched Tongass National Forest. |

Shortly after your arrival,
the aroma of fresh Wild Alaska King Salmon tells you the
feast is about to begin. Your salmon entrée will
be complimented with all homemade side dishes for either
brunch, lunch or dinner, including actual glacier ice to
cool your drinks. This truly Alaskan meal is presented with
an elegant rustic charm.
While enjoying your meal, your host will
entertain you with stories of Taku Lodges colorful past
and characters like Mary Joyce with her famous 1000 mile
dog sled trip that put the Taku Lodge on the Alaska map.
This unique lodge is decorated with old dog sleds, hunting
and trapping gear, furs and other Alaskan memorabilia.

This is your trip; MAKE
IT WHAT YOU WANT! After your meal you may take in one of
a number of options; wander the well-maintained trails of
the old growth forest independently, explore on a guided
interpretative nature walk, or relax with a beverage and
soak in the serenity of a place scarcely touched by time.

|
|
All the while keep an eye
out for the black bears that cant resist the aroma of fresh
grilled Alaskan King Salmon. |

|
|
Rain or shine this trip
will be an experience of a lifetime and a true look at Mother
Nature in her finest. This is the essence of what memories
are made of.
