Itinerary
Day 1 : Anchorage
On arrival in Anchorage, make your own way to your accommodation. The remainder of the day is free at leisure.
Day 2 : Anchorage> McCarthy > Ultima Thule Lodge
Today make your way to the airport for your private charter flight to McCarthy. From the McCarthy airstrip, you will then join your flight to Ultima Thule Lodge. Built from the realisation that indulging in creature comforts and overwhelming the senses are ideal ingredients for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, this unique and timeless lodge has adopted a style of “no roughing it” luxury that only enhances the already indescribable setting. Cabins feature elegantly crafted furniture, stained glass windows, a cherry writing desk, plush leather furniture, a full bathroom and a sitting room with amazing views of the Chitina River and surrounding mountains. The thing that makes Ultima Thule truly special is the authenticity experienced on a human level. Here guests are welcomed into the daily lives of the Claus family, living the dream of wilderness adventure and stewardship in a land that truly is beyond.
Days 3 – 5 : Ultima Thule Lodge
There is no day to day itinerary at Ultima Thule Lodge, however daily flight safari adventures are all included. The flying and wilderness adventures could include hiking, rafting, visiting the coast, fishing, flight seeing, and historic discovery. Each day, the weather is considered and safari flight adventures begin. The light bush planes are specifically designed to access off the beaten path places while ensuring minimal impact to the natural world and a heightened level of personal experience. Guests find themselves in a world removed from civilisation and the press of humanity while stopping for lunch in the middle of the largest (non-polar) glacier on earth; on top of a high alpine plateau to walk among arctic flowers and sample wild berries; next to a salmon stream fishing alongside grizzly bears; or soaring among mountain peaks along the way to the Pacific coastline to watch glacier ice crash into the surf.
Day 6 : Ultima Thule Lodge > McCarthy > Anchorage
Depart the lodge at 10.00 am for a final flight safari, returning to the McCarthy airstrip by 3.30 pm. From here you will be transferred to Anchorage by private charter flight. On arrival make your way to your hotel for check-in and time at leisure.
Day 7 : Anchorage
Arrangements end today after check-out.
