The cost is $225 one way and $450 round trip. Commuter air shuttles are picked up at the Kenai Airport at 10:30am and dropped off at 3:00pm at a cost of $150 each way. If you arrive at a time other than the pick up schedule, you will need to catch a a taxi to the lodge.  Complimentary van transfers from Anchorage are available from the Holiday Inn Express (907) 248 8848, Millennium hotel (907) 243 2300 or the Down down Hilton.  van departs at approximately 7:30 a.m. from airport locations and 7:45 downtown.  ALL SHUTTLES MUST ME ARRANGED IN ADVANCE- NO "ON DEMAND" SHUTTLES ARE AVAILABLE.

FISH HANDLING AND SHIPPING

Harvested fish will be cleaned, filleted and taken to a custom packager for vacuum sealing and smoking to your order. Virtually all of our guests ship their processed fish by Federal Express overnight to arrive after they have returned home. There is a charge for this service. It is also possible to take your cleaned and frozen catch on the commuter plane with you as luggage at no charge. But those departing by float plane must ship their fish home.

We occasionally have space available for those wishing to arrive in the afternoon, rather than overnight in Anchorage.  A $350.00 per person additional charge provides for happy hour, dinner, overnight, breakfast and an early start on your first day’s activity.
