Prince William Sound Lodge offers rustic comfort while on an Alaska wilderness adventure. The lodge offers a very exclusive setting on Prince William Sound which is only accessible by boat or plane, yet still very near to Anchorage, Alaska. Fly by charter flight or arrange for a water taxi from Valdez to access the lodge. Once here the owner and your host show you a spectacular glacial paradise in Prince William Sound, with day trips out by boat including fishing, cruising, or day hikes. Spend your time paddling as well out on the sound. Spend your leisurely time here relaxing or adventuring as you like with or without your local host as a guide. This incredibly affordable Alaska wilderness lodge trip allows you to unplug for a few days and experience the pristine and remote Alaskan wilderness.

The lodge can provide all the necessary kayaking gear for you to set out and paddle around the bay on your own, or go with a guide to explore further beyond the immediate area. Guided boat cruising and excursions also allow you to explore this pristine glacial wonderland and spot birdlife and wildlife such as seals, sea otters, and possibly whales.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
