Discover the Real Alaska
Get to know the people who call Alaska home and go far beyond the typical tourist experience. Our tours are designed to capture the best of what locals know and love about living here. All local Alaskans, our guides have hunted and fished extensively in Alaska’s wilderness, traveled over mountain passes on snowmachines, and served as bush guides in remote areas. To every tour they bring a palpable passion for Alaska’s rich history and an intimate knowledge of its plants and animals. Their stories will enrich your adventure and deepen your connection to the land.
Featured Guide
Meet Lyle
Born and raised in the Matanuska Valley, Lyle is a retired teacher and avid hiker and fisherman. When he’s not sharing his love of the Last Frontier, you can find him in the mountains or out on a lake or river.
Featured Guide
Meet Dorothy
In addition to being a wonderfully knowledgeable guide, Dorothy is an active volleyball official, traveling and officiating games across the state. She’s also heavily involved in agriculture, managing a small farm and working at the Alaska State Fair—her largest cabbage to date has been 34 pounds! Dorothy produces much of the food her family eats through gardening, hunting, and fishing, making the most of Alaska’s abundant resources.
