Eric and Kirsten Lee in remote Alaska

Owner-operated / Homer, Alaska

Wild Alaska is not our backdrop. It is our life.

Eric and Kirsten Lee built Alaska Ultimate Safaris around aviation, wildlife and the kind of personal care only a small, owner-operated team can give.

Eric & Kirsten Lee

Experienced pilot-guides. Curious people. A deep respect for this place.

For more than two decades, flying has taken us into the remote landscapes that make Alaska unforgettable: coastal bear habitat, glaciers, volcano country and wilderness far beyond the road system.

Today we share that access through small-group helicopter, floatplane and bush-plane adventures from Homer. Every trip is shaped around the conditions in front of us - weather, wildlife, terrain, aircraft capability and the comfort of the people flying with us.

That flexibility is not a marketing line. It is how experienced Alaska aviation works, and it is how we give guests the strongest, safest and most personal day possible.

Remote access changes what an Alaska day can become.

How it began

Then we added “heli” to every adventure.

Helicopters entered our lives years ago through a friend. The first time we took the controls, we understood the access immediately. Gravel bars and ridge tops had always been part of bush flying; the helicopter opened an entirely different world.

It became heli-hiking, heli-camping, heli-glaciers and, eventually, a way to help guests experience Alaska with remarkable flexibility. The aircraft changed. The impulse did not: go thoughtfully, stay curious and make the day worthy of the place.

Three ways into the wild

The aircraft are part of the story.

Our helicopter and de Havilland Beavers let us match the aircraft to the landscape, group and conditions instead of forcing every guest into the same itinerary.

Alaska Ultimate Safaris de Havilland Beaver aircraft at Beluga Lake

01 / De Havilland Beaver

Classic Alaska aviation.

Configured on wheels or floats with the season, our Beavers reach remote beaches, lakes and bear country with room for the people and gear that make a full day possible.

02 / Helicopter

Flexible by nature.

With the pilot and up to three guests, the helicopter creates an intimate flight and opens precise access to rugged coastlines, glacier country and remote landing areas.
