Promoting Sustainable Tourism in Alaska

Alaska Wildland Adventures’ Kenai River Sportfishing Lodge teamed up with Trout TV and Alaska Airlines to give away a fishing trip at our beautiful lodge on the Kenai River to one lucky Trout TV viewer (airfare provided by Alaska Airlines)!

Congratulations to Audrey Nims, the winner  from Vancouver, Washington! She and her husband, Rod, will join us for some great fishing in summer 2012! They love fishing and the great outdoors, especially steelhead and salmon fishing on the Columbia River and its tributaries. They also enjoy taking their grandkids out fishing. Kenai River Sportfishing Lodge is excited to host Audrey and Rod next summer!

Call us at 800.478.4100 or visit us online at www.alaskasportfish.com to find out more about our salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and halibut fishing packages!

You can also  learn more about fly fishing in the West from Trout TV’s website or on their Facebook page.

Martha Stewart Weddings magazine has highlighted both Kenai Backcountry Lodge and Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge as an adventurous honeymoon destination! Check out the article here!

We’ve hosted small weddings as well as honeymoons at all of our lodges, and we agree! How can you beat a honeymoon inside a national park, or on 2 million acres of a wildlife refuge? Or watching the sunset from a tandem kayak with your new spouse? Kenai Backcountry Lodge is an incredible romantic getaway, and Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge is a little slice of paradise!

The best part?  We can integrate our lodges into one seamless package, eliminating the need for a rental car and optimizing the trip of a lifetime with your special someone.

We’re ecstatic to have Wayde Carroll back to guide our Alaska Photo Safari departure.

Wayde is a digital photographer who lives in Anchorage, Alaska with his wife of fifteen years and their two amazing children. He specializes in outdoor and travel editorial assignments.

After receiving a B.A. in Art in 1993, Wayde fled to Alaska to hone his photographic skills. He spent a year documenting the lives of the Yup’ik people in the village of Eek, then two years assisting some of Anchorage’s top photographers such as Clark James Mishler and Tom Bol whenever he had time to join them. He returned to California in 1998 to assist award-winning photographer Keith Sutter in Auburn, CA.

In 2004, he made the leap and started a full time career in photography and in the summer of 2006 returned to Alaska. Wayde’s been regularly published in numerous regional and national magazines, books, calendars, and maps. He has also been leading photo tours internationally for the past five years.

In 2007, Wayde began leading our Alaska Photo Safari. He finds guiding and sharing his knowledge of photography to be extremely rewarding and is looking forward to continuing on with AWA and leading our Alaska Photo Safari this summer! You can view Wayde’s photography at Portfolio of Images by Wayde Carroll and learn more about Wayde Carroll here.

If your perfect Alaska vacation includes lots of fun, no worries, less travel time and more “doing time” then the Alaska Wildland Collection is for you! This trip features our three lodges on the Kenai Peninsula – Kenai Riverside Lodge is home base for rafting, upgrading to fishing, and hiking in the Chugach National Forest. Kenai Backcountry Lodge is boat-in only, nestled along the shores of Skilak Lake and features lakeside kayaking, hiking the Cottonwood Trail, and intimate lodging.  Our newest lodge, Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge offers seacoast Alaska in log cabin comfort; see Aialik Glacier from your kayak, paddle a canoe with the harbor seals, take a nature walk, or sit back and decompress deep in the Kenai Fjords National Park.  Transportation, food, lodging, guided activities are all seamlessly integrated in this awesome adventure.

All you need to do is plan your flights to and from Anchorage.  We’ll take care of the rest! See Alaska our way; in a small group, treading lightly on the land, interacting personally with wild Alaska.
