COME AND EXPERIENCE THE ARCTIC WILD

Arctic Wild provides professionally guided Alaska adventure tours in Alaska’s vast wilderness. Trust your Alaskan adventure vacation to an experienced Arctic Wild Guide.

Groups are small (1 to 8 people), we travel quietly, and the focus is on the land and its inhabitants. Whether you join us for a base camp trip, river rafting, canoeing or backpacking adventure there is plenty of free time for you to explore, bird watch, photograph, fish or do whatever pleases you most.

"The wilderness was spectacular, the leadership perfect."
"I am just finishing my tenth trip with you guys. As always, the trip was more than I expected and I had a great time. See you next year!"
"Of all outfitters with whom we have worked (and that is quite a number), you were by far the most organized and responsive."
"That feeling of wide open wonder, the possibilities for nearly limitless wandering, and the image of those proud caribou...that will stay with me a long time"
"Our guide was an encyclopedia on legs. He was always willing and ready to teach, to talk, to listen, to do another hike, or to lie low in camp if we were beat. He truly gave us the trip we wanted!"
