HEAD in the CLOUDS

Feast at the Taku Lodge & experience its five glaciers by seaplane.

World-class wildlife paired with world-class cooking—what could be better than that! Only accessible via seaplane, the remote Taku Glacier Lodge has earned accolades from travelers around the world for its incomparable location. Picture a pristine wilderness setting punctuated with five massive glaciers, where bears roam and dogsledding was once the only means of transport. All this is paired with a sumptuous feast that will satiate both the senses and stomach with locally raised fare beautifully cooked and served. Notes a tour goer: “We enjoy this excursion so much that we’ve now done it on two different visits to Juneau. Each trip is unique—there are new sights on the flight, the Taku Lodge is a gem, and the home-cooked meal is fantastic!” Climb aboard a classic de Havilland floatplane and hover above a quintet of awe-inspiring glaciers, windswept forests, and snowcapped mountains that deliver pure magic. After landing on the magical Taku River, you arrive at the rustic-chic, circa-1923 Taku Lodge and get settled before supping on grilled Alaska salmon, Taku baked beans, and more as you take in the stunning vistas of the five-mile-wide Taku Glacier. After your meal, enjoy a nature walk before returning to Juneau. Bliss. Pure bliss.
