Feature Island


Regional Information

Imagine your floatplane delivering you to your private island retreat, flying over crystal glaciers, maybe spotting a pod of giant humpback whales. We all know that Alaskans don't live in igloos, but many people are surprised that all modern amenities are available in Alaska, even on a private island. But Alaskans are as wild about the outdoors as the outdoors is wild. The land of the midnight sun is an angler's dream – its summer waters teem with five kinds of wild Pacific salmon, halibut, rainbow trout and arctic grayling. Aside from hunting and fishing, this scenic wonderland offers hiking, kayaking, or dog sledding. For those who'd rather sit back and watch, enjoy Alaska's stunning Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Alaska is the adventure of a lifetime.
