Do It Yourself Float Trips

Our most common length of stay is Saturday to Friday. You’ll take the 10:00 flight, Saturday, from Anchorage to Iliamna. We’ll meet you at the airport in Iliamna, load your gear into our vans, and take a short drive to our seaplanes. After the planes are loaded, we’ll skim across the lake and climb into the magnificent Alaskan air for our short flight to The Outpost. If you’ve never flown in a seaplane, this will be as exciting and memorable as any other moment of your stay with us.

When we pull up to the dock, you’ll be met by our amazing guides. We’ll grab your gear, and review some of our basic lodge rules – don’t feed the bears. After lunch, we’ll load up and fly out to the river Saturday afternoon.

Our Guided Float trips typically start on Saturday. Your guides will take care of everything, including providing gourmet meals while on the river. Your float trip will finish Thursday evening back at the lodge. A warm bed, a hot shower, an amazing meal, and a soak in the hot tub out on the deck is a perfect way to wrap up an incredible week. We can also customize your trip to float two different rivers for 3 days each or float one of our longer rivers for 6 days ($750 more per person).

Our Do It Yourself float trips follow the same basic schedule except you don’t have guides with you, and you’re doing all the set-up, tear-down, and cooking along the river.

For most packages, Friday is the last day of your experience. We’ll wake up, have breakfast, and load the float plane at 8:30 to fly back to Iliamna. Your flight from Iliamna back to Anchorage will depart at 10:00 am and arrive by 11:30 am. Although this will be the end of your stay, by no means is this goodbye. The Outpost at Intricate Bay never leaves you.

Again, we can customize the start days for this particular trip as well as the length of your stay. Please don’t hesitate to call with any questions.
