Hoodoo Adventures joins Outdoor Discoveries from New Zealand in... "The Trip of a Lifetime" 21 Days - July, 2009.  Designed to maximise your experience - not test your fitness.  Maximum 8 people. Calving glaciers, awesome wildlife, icebergs, towering mountains, crystalline lakes... And warm weather with 24 hours daylight!
Eleven Days of Superb Sea Kayaking  Prince William Sound - Harriman Fjord ("Little Glacier Bay") This fjord is a place of spectacular beauty and diversity that was only discovered 100 years ago. Numerous peaks of the Chugach Range rise from the ocean to over 9,000 feet above us. From these lofty peaks, five stunning glaciers descend into the sea. We begin outside the fjord and paddle in, letting the wonders unfold before us. We spend a day at a beach we call "Thunder Camp" that overlooks the confluence of Cascade, Barry, and Cox glaciers. The sight and thundering sound of huge icebergs falling into the sea is a never to be forgotten experience
Plus - Six Days of Incredible Base-Camp Hiking Paradise Lakes in The Chugach Mountains have it all! There are towering mountains, glaciers, crystalline lakes, tundra and forest. There is the possibility of seeing caribou, bear, moose, wolves and dall sheep. Your destination is Upper Paradise Lake, a 45-minute floatplane ride from Anchorage. The ridges and valleys that surround the lake make for some great hiking! We fly in by float plane - an incredible experience in itself.
"On our trip with Outdoor Discoveries to Alaska we experienced a part of this planet that is unique, vast, remote & absolutely beautiful. One of the highlights for me was kayaking up to calving glaciers, it truly takes your breath away. The out of the way places we ventured into were serene, beautiful & with a "guaranteed" Bald Eagle, Bear Seal or Otter just around the next corner. The Campsites had million dollar views, the tucker was good and plentiful & the coffee, well the coffee, as the aroma wafted across the campsite at the break of dawn was something to die for. It was an unforgettable, thoroughly enjoyable holiday that I would highly recommend." - John Dwyer, 2003

We have negotiated special prices with local operators and accommodation to bring you this incredible trip at the exceptional value for US$3100.00 within Alaska. Flights to Alaska cost approximately $875.00+tax.

This trip has been designed specifically with Kiwis and Canadians in mind. With the DIY culture that we have, and the "mucking in" approach to traveling, we call this an Escorted Trip - your trip leader(s) are there to provide safety and to organise logistics - not to provide a running commentary or to pamper! We have found that Kiwis and Canadians prefer it this way.
