Bush air charter in Southwest Alaska for Wood-Tikchik, Togiak and river trips
Tikchik Airventures is a small air charter business in Southwest Alaska, run by Rick and Denise Grant. The listing places it at Aleknagik, while a federal permit list gives a Dillingham mailing address; Aleknagik lies about 16 miles from Dillingham on Lake Aleknagik.
The company flies people and gear into the backcountry rather than between cities. Its website described drop-offs and pick-ups for kayaking, rafting, canoeing, hiking and fishing trips, as well as transport for guided and outfitted hunts.
Its operating area covered Wood-Tikchik State Park, the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and the Nushagak, King Salmon and Mulchatna river systems. It has also appeared on a National Park Service list of commercial use authorizations for Katmai National Park.
A public operator database lists Tikchik Airventures LLC as an FAA Part 135 charter operator with four piston and turbine bush aircraft, including a DHC-2 Beaver, a Cessna U206F Stationair, a Cessna Skywagon and a Piper PA-18 Super Cub. These are typical of float and wheel operations in the region.
The company's former website is no longer online, so trips should be arranged by phone, and flyers should confirm aircraft, float or wheel configuration and baggage limits before booking.
