Alaska Vacations
Alaska has been a focal point for vacationers for years. Its wide expanse of wilderness, miles of beach and thousands of acres of forest make it not only beautiful, but the perfect place to experience the vacation of a lifetime.
When most people think about an ideal vacation, they think about resorts, lodges, vacation luxuries, and amenities. However, Alaska offers something different to its vacationers by the way of adventure and excitement. Hunting, fishing, camping, rafting, backpacking, and sightseeing are just a few of the adventure oriented activities awaiting you on your vacation to the Alaskan wilderness. Of course, we don't mean to say that you won't enjoy staying in some of the world's best wilderness lodges, but we do mean to say you can couple your taste for a nice meal and comfortable bed with your desire to hunt and fish in Alaska.
On the following pages you will learn much of what you'll need to know in order to being planning your hunting trip. We don't think there's a state in the union that affords as many great hunting options - hunt moose, bear, caribou, dall sheep, and black tail deer all in Alaska. Plan a self-guided hunting trip or employ an experienced hunting guide to help ensure that you might bag a trophy moose or black tailed deer. If you picture yourself hunting during the day and enjoying log cabin fires and tasty lodge cocktails by night, then check out our Alaska wilderness lodges page. It has a specific list of great lodges to stay at if you're interested in going on a hunting trip during your vacation but don't want to forego the comforts of a real vacation.
While hunting bear, moose, or caribou is about as adventurous as it gets, Alaska is if anything, home to some of the best fishing in the world - salmon, halibut, trout, dolly varden. The rivers, lakes and saltwater in and around Alaska are full of fish. Email us if you find a better place in the states!
Alaska fishing trips are dream vacations for many sportspeople. Perfect for outdoorsmen, those who love fishing won't find any shortage of perfectly scenic experiences to drop a line. Guided fishing trips such as saltwater charters for hire, and river fishing are some of Alaska's most popular. Be sure to take a look at our Alaska Fishing Trips page, where you can learn a little bit more about sport fishing in the Last Frontier. For those who want to keep their catch, be sure to look over the fishing regulations before starting any vacation fishing trip. Again, be sure to check out the wilderness lodges we most recommend for access to some of Alaska's best fishing. If you're a real fanatic, you'll love the available fly fishing, and saltwater fishing options that are available.
Not every great outdoorsmen wants to kick up their feet at night and eat at a fancy wilderness lodge restaurant. Some want to really experience life in the Alaskan wilderness by camping, and backpacking while on a trip to the north. You're in luck. There certainly isn't any shortage to overnight trips on saltwater fishing charters or via backpacking guides who double as hunting experts. Whatever your level of adventure, you can find the perfect way to couple your trip to Alaska with your picture-perfect hunting and fishing vacation.
