Alaska is truly the last great wilderness on Earth. To properly explore the beauty of Alaska, you need a base camp where you can recuperate in comfort.

It is strategically located next to the famed Inside Passage of south east Alaska in the bay at Whale Pass. The Lodge gives you an upscale place to stay, but also provides you with the opportunity to get out there and rough it in the Alaskan wilderness.

Stay at this upscale lodging and you can enjoy the stunning northern lights from an outdoor hot tub, get a massage or take in a few yoga sessions, all designed to bring bliss back into your life. Pearson's Pond, however, offers so much more. You can go skiing in winter, biking in summer and pursue just about every imaginable outdoor activity. Pearson's Pond can arrange activities such as kayaking, glacier trekking, rafting, boating, viewing sessions for general wildlife and whales, fishing, hiking, and even dog sledding trips.

To get a real feel for the beauty of Alaska, Pearson's even arranges helicopter tours and flights with Bush pilots over the ice fields. It is a sight that has to be seen to be believed.
