Calling all ocean loving, end-of-the-road, nature enthusiasts at Trilogy! Are you interested in visiting a corner of Alaska together that most tourists never get to see?
Our adventure will take place in Cordova, the tiny, "no road" community the Copper River fishing fleet calls home. The oceanfront Orca Adventure Lodge is our base in an Alaskan bush town on spectacular Prince William Sound. Prices include lodging, all meals, ground transportation, cultural sessions, and kayaking and fishing onsite.
Off-site adventures are available to purchase "a la carte" while enjoying the property, allowing each guest to create their unique Alaskan adventure. Side trips include hiking, fishing, and glacier floating, and range from $250-$450pp.
With almost 24 hours of daylight each day, there will be time for everything: walking in a still-wild place, kayaking in glacial pools, immersing yourself in salmon culture, and enjoying great meals overlooking the ocean.
If an excursion to small town Alaska sounds like an adventure you'd enjoy, please join our interest and wait-list by pre-registering. When the trip becomes available for purchase, guests will be invited to register in the order in which they signed up.
Simple, comfortable, cozy rooms (each with private bath) on the ocean and off the beaten path. Our lodge, in a town not accessible by car, epitomizes "the end of the road".
Meals onsite (in a private, historic, cannery cookhouse) and outdoors at adventure locales (boxed lunches and such) prepared by Chef George Fecter & Co.
Pick up from the Cordova (CDV) airport, transportation to & from all outings, and return to CDV airport in comfortable, spacious passenger vans.
A private, interactive, tour of our Science Center, the premier research facility for the Prince William Sound.
An oyster bar, that is! It's time to shuck & suck delicious local oysters on tap, pulled straight from the sea for us (and served with all the accouterments).
Unlimited kayaking and fishing on site. Or just relax with tea or coffee in the wood-fired sauna overlooking the sound, watch salmon jumping from shore, or enjoy the campfire, steps from your room.
The lodge has a self-serve laundry room with complimentary machines and detergent. Pack and travel light for this adventure, and return home with clean clothes.
A video meeting with all guests prior to trip departure. We'll visit and answer packing and trip questions. Session will be recorded and distributed to all attendees.
Deposit + two equal payments (interest free).
