Taku Glacier Lodge Flight & Feast

OVERVIEW

Fly over the Juneau Icefield in a floatplane and land at historical Taku Lodge for a salmon bake and a leisurely walk through Tongass National Forest. Once you are airborne, you will enjoy spectacular views of the rainforest and the ancient glaciers that are slowly carving their ways through the icefield. A classic Alaskan mode of transportation, a floatplane allows you to access remote wilderness areas that other planes can’t. In time, you will land in the river that fronts the beautifully rustic lodge, which was built directly across from the Hole-In-The- Wall Glacier in 1923. While your hosts entertain you with tales of adventurers that stayed at Taku Lodge, you will feast on wild Alaska salmon and all sorts of side dishes. Feel free to stretch your legs afterwards on one of the well-maintained trails that wind through the forest. Or simply sit back and relax in front of the lodge’s crackling fire.
