The floatplane sets the limit.
Space and weight in the aircraft are limited. Plan for one soft duffel of about 50 lb, or 23 kg, plus your day pack and your rifle or bow. No hard suitcases. We confirm the exact allowance with your proposal.
Anglers and cabin guests can leave the hunting gear at home. We send you a list for your trip with the proposal.
