Specialty Trips: Hiking, Fishing, Rafting, Hunting, Camping. Alaska At It's Best
AOA has spent 20 years exploring and learning the vast West Side of Cook Inlet. Its time we share the amazing things that we have been doing without clients for so many years. I think we can offer truly awesome and unique experiences in some of the most beautiful places in Alaska. If you have an adventurous spirit and want to experience a unique and exciting, remote adventure, then read on and pick the package or specialty adventure thats right for you!
All of the following unique and exotic adventures require tremendous planning and coordination of different elements. Our specialty adventures are rated on a 1-5 scale. The more elements that are guided and scripted, the lower the level of adventure. As the plans become more you vs AK, the adventure level increases. If you or your group is not ready for this level of adventure, please consider a day trip. This is remote bear country and there are often many twists in the overall plan that require groups to adapt and overcome. There are just too many variables we cannot control. If your still reading, scroll down and see if theres something that fits you and your group.

This is a crazy, awesome, and fun adventure for the right group of people. We designed it for a bachelor party of 8 guys, most of which were advanced outdoorsmen, fishermen, and hunters. Most all were close friends and family. It canceled because of CoVid and they were never able to reschedule. Im throwing it out there to see if anyone has interest in a whacky adventure you'll never forget.
The trip begins with a scenario of a group of friends flying into a remote river to fish salmon. A tragic maintenance issue strands the group with limited gear and no guide. The pilot takes off and your all alone. Spend one night on the air strip in a spike camp and then navigate the river on a DIY river float. End your float at out plush remote fish camp and enjoy a guided stay. Private cooks, fishing guides, and pilots will take you on a 3 day adventure you wont soon forget. Fly to multiple locations, see volcanoes, brown bears, salmon fishing and more. End the trip back in Kenai, AK in our favorite local hotel and the rest is up to you!

DIY Mountain Top Adventure
This trip is perfect for the hard-core hiker, camping enthusiast, or even the average hiker who loves to ponder beautiful vistas and accept the challenges of remote wilderness. This trip can be modified to fit just about any skill level, although it really is best for the more active, fit, and capable outdoor enthusiasts. Get dropped off on a beautiful mountain lake or runway at tree line and enjoy a few nights of complete solitude. This fully outfitted adventure includes a complete camp, all food, satellite comms, and more. Hike where there are no need for trails and experience some of the most incredible vistas in North America with not boot prints but yours for hundreds of miles. That scares some people.....and excites others. Which one are you?
