Kayaking in Icy Bay is spectacular.
Alsek Air Service, can fly you into
Kageet point, where you are only six
miles from Guyot and Yahtse Glaciers
where you may choose to camp under
the watchful eye of Mt. St. Elias,
with a view of Chaix Hills and
numerous glaciers. Paddle up
Taan Fjord to the face of the
Tyndall Glacier.
The
area is a delight to birdwtachers.
In summer, Rufus hummingbirds buzz
among the wildflowers on the beach
and surf scoters are generally seen
swimming in large numbers. The
bay also contains one of the world's
largest concentrations of the rare
Kittlitz's murrelet. Be sure
to bring your binoculars.
If you are planning a trip down the
Alsek or Tatshenshini Rivers, Alsek
Air Service can pick you and your
gear up at Dry Bay. Many
groups will send most of their
people from Dry Bay to Yakutat to
meet an Alaska Airlines flight or to
catch the ferry, and then send one
or two people with the gear to
Haines. There are also those
groups who prefer to have all their
members return to Haines or all will
go to Yakutat. Any of these
options is fine with us. We
have three Cessna 206 aircraft
available , the most efficient and
cost effective aircraft available
for the job, which means a much
faster departure from Dry Bay.
We provide service to many private
raft groups. Alsek Air
Service, Inc. is also the exclusive
air charter service for Alaska
Discovery and Chilkat Guides in this
area of southeast Alaska, and we
encourage you to call them for a
reference.
