Stillpoint Lodge

Whether your Alaskan visit begins with an arrival into Anchorage’s Airport, or you are coming from another Alaskan destination, an overnight in Anchorage is typically recommended.  A private transfer will be provided to your included hotel accommodations.  Depending on your schedule you may have time for a private bicycle ride along Anchorage’s scenic coastal trail, or perhaps a visit to the Alaska Native Heritage Center with a private guide.  Take advantage of the long daylight hours with a late meal and local pint before turning in for the evening.

Overnight in Anchorage.

Meet your private driver in the lobby of your hotel after breakfast for a private transfer to Anchorage’s Lake Hood floatplane base – the busiest anywhere in the world.  Board your private plane for the scenic flight over Kenai Peninsula to the coastal waters of Kachemak Bay.  Your destination is secluded Halibut Cove where your ‘home away from home’ for the next several days awaits.  Your pilot will pull the plane alongside the Stillpoint Lodge dock and your luggage will be whisked away to your private room while you enjoy a meet and greet with your lodge hosts.  This afternoon there will be plenty of time for a quick excursion – perhaps a kayak or stand-up-paddle board adventure around the cove with your private guide.  This evening enjoy your first nightly reception and gourmet dinner.

Spend the next several nights at Stillpoint Lodge.

Your stay at Stillpoint Lodge is customized to the adventures of your choice, based on your particular interests, activities, and length of stay. Guests have unlimited access to the lodge’s kayaks to go boating on glacier-fed lakes, try paddleboarding, or enjoy guided hikes on nearby hiking trails. Wildlife and birding – complimentary!

Glacier Lake Kayaking

Keep an eye out for wildlife as your captain takes you to the Grewingk Glacier Lake trailhead.  From here you will hike down to the lake with your guides where your kayaks are waiting.  Enjoy a day on the glacier-filled lake as you glide your kayak toward the crystal blue ice and have the adventure of a lifetime.

Paddleboarding on Kachemak Bay

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) on Kachemak Bay combines the fastest growing sport in the world with opportunities to relax and take in the stunning scenery of this area! Glide across the open water in silence. No minimum skills are needed and this sport can be learned quickly. Easy and fun!

Today guests are presented with a tantalizing array of choices to make their stay truly unforgettable. Select between two exhilarating experiences. Take to the skies and soar above the rugged landscape aboard a floatplane or wheeled plane, venturing out for an extraordinary bear viewing expedition.  Alternatively, immerse yourself in the rich bounty of Alaska’s waters with a saltwater fishing excursion. Whether you’re angling for halibut or salmon, the thrill of the catch awaits as you cast your line into the deep blue.

Your day at this retreat offers an array of invigorating options tailored to your sense of adventure. Glide across the pristine waters on a boat, then set foot on rugged trails or glide through tranquil lakes, the choice is yours. Opt for the Glacier Lake Kayaking expedition, where paddling amidst icebergs and shorebirds awaits, savoring a picnic lunch with stunning glacier. Alternatively, embark on a Boat and Bike excursion, exploring rugged terrain on an e-biking adventure, or choose a Boat and Mountain Hike, ascending either Alpine Ridge or Grace Ridge to witness panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Whichever path you choose, the day promises boundless exploration and unforgettable moments in the heart of Alaska’s wilderness.

After so much exciting and authentic Alaskan adventure, you may need a vacation from your vacation!  But you are more likely to depart this special place with a renewed sense of spirit and appreciation for these ‘wild’ Alaskan lands and people.  Your private floatplane will pick you up dockside and bring you back to Anchorage, or wherever your next adventure begins.
