Hunting
Here at Alaska West Air, Inc. we utilize state-of-the-art high performance float and wheel planes to ensure you access to the best hunting areas the Kenai Peninsula has to offer. We pride ourselves in providing you with the most complete fly-in Alaska hunting trips possible. Our team of seasoned Alaska bush pilots constantly scout productive areas with high game concentrations, which in turn gives us an exceptionally high success rate. Experience and dedication are the key to our many years of success in the ultimate Alaskan Hunting Experience.
Serving sportsmen from around the world...
Our years of expertise in flying throughout Alaska's backcountry enable us to provide you with the edge you need to bag your Alaska big game trophy. We have pioneered the use of float equipped Super Cub aircraft to hunt areas with very little or no hunting pressure. Our fly-in hunting and fishing adventures have been written up in publications like "The Hunting Report," "Western Outdoors," and "Sports Afield" magazines.

Non-resident hunters are required to have a guide or be accompanied by an Alaskan relative over 19 years of age within the second degree of kindred when hunting goat, Dall Sheep or Grizzly bear. Non-resident moose and caribou hunters are also required to view videos titled “Field Care of Big Game” and “Is This Moose Legal”, for hunts in some units in Alaska. We do drop hunts in these units. The video is available from Alaska Department of Fish and Game. If you have booked a moose or caribou hunt, please view the video.
Booking / cancellation policy
Hunts booked a year or more in advance are required to pay a $1,000 non-refundable booking fee. If booked within a year of the hunt, a 50% deposit is required.
Alaska West Air does not accept credit cards for hunts.
Hunts cancelled 180 days or more from the start date will be refunded the amount of the deposit less the $1,000 booking fee. Hunts cancelled 179 days or less from the start day of the hunt will not be refunded, unless the person canceling the hunt fills the vacancy, in which case a refund would be issued minus the $1,000 booking fee.
The balance of the hunt is due on the date of the departure into the field and that can paid with cash or cashiers check - no personal checks or credits cards.
Due to unforeseen spike in fuel prices, Alaska West Air has made the difficult decision to reserve the right to add a fuel surcharge to each seat during the 2024 season.
