Wild Within AlaskA
What's included in the Yacht Trip Retreat?
Accommodations
For the July & August retreat offerings you will spend 5 nights on an 85-foot super yacht. The first night of the trip is spent docked in a private marina. This allows for everyone to get unpacked and settled into their state rooms before we set sail for three nights. Yacht trips are shared rooms with the exception of one private room available at a higher rate. On our last day we will return to the island and explore Ketchikan before docking at our marina for our final night before everyone flies out the following day.
Transportation
No need to stress about logistics! I’ll be waiting at baggage claim to greet & guide you and will get you back to the airport when it’s time to head home.
Meals
Who has time to think about food when you’re exploring the wilderness of southeast Alaska? Not you! All meals outside of restaurant meals will be prepared and provided daily.
Hiking & Nature Walks
Before arrival, I’ll send out a questionnaire to learn about your comfort levels so we can choose hikes that feel good for everyone. We will take some gentle walks in Ketchikan on our first and last days, but once we sail, we will explore various islands that are uninhabited.
Yoga & Meditation
Each morning we’ll move through a gentle vinyasa flow to ground ourselves, followed by guided meditation. You’ll also receive a keepsake journal (in your swag bag!) with daily prompts for reflection. Evenings may include Yoga Nidra for deep relaxation. Mats and props are provided, no need to bring your own. And of course, everything is optional, this is your retreat.
Days at Sea
Our days at sea will be a mixed itinerary of the above mentioned activities on the boat along with some opportunities for uninhabited island exploration! One of the perks of being on a boat is that we can fish from it whenever we want.
What's included in the Land Based Retreat?
Accommodations
You’ll spend 3 nights in a beautiful home on the water overlooking the ocean. Guests have the option of shared or solo accommodations. You won't have to room with someone if you don't want to, but the option is open if you'd like to. The house features a large deck and beach for our evening bonfires. It is the perfect spot to watch for whales and other marine life passing by.

Hiking & Nature Walks
Before arrival, I’ll send out a questionnaire to learn about your comfort levels so we can choose hikes that feel good for everyone. Ketchikan offers everything from gentle rainforest walks with waterfalls and beach strolls (great for whale spotting!) to more adventurous trails if you’re up for a challenge. We’ll take it day by day, balancing group ability and energy.

Boat Excursions / Fishing
Depending on group preference, we’ll either enjoy a combined fishing & wildlife excursion or take a zodiac tour to explore for wildlife, both with seasoned captains! If you absolutely want to fish, we will totally go fishing and if you catch fish, you’ll have the option to have it vacuum-sealed, packed, and ready to take home. The cost of the excursion is included in the trip, but your fishing license, captain gratuity and fish processing fees are not so please keep that in mind.
Candle Workshop
Since we are in the heart of the largest temperate rainforest in North America, we’ll also have cozy indoor options for rainy moments. A talented local candle maker will host us for a hands-on workshop in their studio. You’ll learn the basics of candle-making and get to choose your own scents with the ability to make your own blend! You can pack this up to take home with you to remember your time here in Alaska.
