In a Week or More

Some great add ons to your stay in Ketchikan

Sportfishing Lodge/Resort Packages

3-day packages are popular choices, providing ample time on the water. Most lodges and resorts offer all-inclusive packages – meals, accommodations and fishing are included in the price. Location and time of year will dictate species and type of fishing available.

Remote Wilderness Cabin

A "best kept secret" among Alaskans, these cabins are located on salt or freshwater and offer a true wilderness getaway. You’ll need to arrange for boat or floatplane transfer and pack in your own food and gear (available for rent). The reward is breathtaking scenery and solitude in the wild.

Kayaking Adventure

Travel by boat to Misty Fiords National Monument and spend 2-3 days kayaking the glacially carved fjords. Guided kayaking trips are available, offering a week or so of paddling, hiking and camping in the wilderness.

Off Island Getaway

Daily ferry and/or air service to neighboring communities makes for a convenient side trip. Prince of Wales Island offers over 1,000 miles of roads, through the Tongass National Forest. Or choose Wrangell, Alaska – gateway to the Stikine River recreation area and Anan Observatory, a prime brown bear viewing locale.
