Equinox Wilderness Expeditions

For more than 23 years, Equinox Wilderness Expeditions has explored Alaska and Canada's wild arctic rivers, coasts, glacial fjords and rugged mountain country, seeking out the unusual and the magnificent.

We conduct environmentally responsible small-group adventures. Our goal is to share a memorable and educational experience in remote and pristine wilderness, while contributing to preservation of our wilderness and wildlife heritage. We understand the privilege and responsibility of conducting trips in some of the world's finest (and threatened) wild places.

Our carefully planned expeditions offer an opportunity to experience untrammeled wildlands on a scale that is largely unimaginable in much of the world, and to observe bird and wildlife migrations of similar magnitude. Our trips are educational, with a focus on learning about wildlife and northern ecosystems. We also love to have fun.

We believe wild places bring us into deeper relationship with our own spirits, reminding us of our oneness with nature. Meeting the land on its own terms, we move in harmony with wind, weather, water and wildlife. Being enveloped by the immensity of largely intact landscapes can be a profound experience. Sitting alone in a place of wild beauty gives us an opportunity to reflect on what is important.

Our groups are small, our guides are expert, and our trip itineraries are nothing short of exciting. We love to organize custom and family trips.

Our trips take you to places like Gates of the Arctic National Park, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Katmai, Denali, Glacier Bay, Wrangell-St. Elias, Noatak, Aulavik, Auyuiituq, and Kobuk Valley national parks. We offer trips to little-known rivers in Northwest Alaska, as well as kayak trips to Icy Bay, Hubbard Glacier and the farthest north paddling river in the world, the Thomsen River.
