We just spent a week at Ultima Thule Lodge. We have been to many wilderness lodges and this one is the tops. The setting is spectacular, surrounded by mountains. Planes fly you out in the morning to different terrain everyday into the most untouched wilderness mountains in the world. The lodge itself is first class. We had a two room... More

That is the kind of warm surprise provided by Ultimate Thule Expeditions. And later, after getting part of our group stranded on same said Volcano, they flew in to help make sure we had gotten all...

I disagree with the comments of the above individual. I stayed with Ultima Thule Outfitters for a summer/fall timeframe. I worked there as a cooks assistant. I was not vacationing there, but thoroughly enjoyed myself. The owner even took me up in his bush plane to stay a few nights on a glacier, in a tent, with a Swedish dog-musher.... More
