First class, the Alaska way
First class is experienced pilot-guides, capable aircraft, thoughtful planning and enough flexibility to choose the strongest day available.
Weather, tides, access and bear activity change throughout the season. We use that information, not a one-size-fits-all itinerary, to shape each safari from our base on Beluga Lake.
