18 Hours of Sunlight... Every Day!

Unwind. Detach. Discover truly untouched wilderness of America's final frontier. 

This relaxation-focused itinerary provides participants an opportunity to appreciate the softer side of the Alaskan wilderness, and sets the perfect stage for private getaways or for nutritionist consultants to engage their clients.

It's also a great starting point for yogis, martial artists, personal training clients, and leadership development programs. The planned activities strike a balance between personal relaxation time and outdoor activities which allow participants to both fully engage, and later recuperate.  Every outing can be completed by everyone, regardless of physical ability, and also encourage participants to constructively interact with each other. Most outings take up half the day, which allows participants time to explore on their own, take in, process, enjoy the scenery, their company, and immerse in the natural lifestyle.

Package includes transportation to and from airport and all activities, admission fees, safety and activity equipment, 3, 4 or 5 star accommodations, gourmet cooking, wine with dinner, yoga & fitness instructors, local mountain guides, and massage therapists.
