Foot Notes
*1 Arrival and departure days are Saturday and Wednesday. Outbound, your seaplane flight will leave Kodiak at 8:00 AM. You should plan to be available in Kodiak, either at your hotel lobby or the airport lobby with your bags packed and ready to go, no later than 7:00 AM on the day your trip begins. Note: A combination of car/boat may be used instead of a seaplane for lodge trips.
Home bound you will depart AlpenView’s facility at 11:00 AM and arrive in Kodiak at noon. As flights are quite often delayed due to weather, it’s best not to plan departures from Kodiak until mid-afternoon. Remember that Kodiak Island is a very remote location and travel here may be quite different than it is where you live. Please leave yourself as much time as possible when booking your transfers into and out of Kodiak.
It is very important not to over pack. You will be traveling in small float planes so it is necessary to limit each person to 75 lbs. of gear.
If your travel plans will not allow you to make the above mentioned schedule or weight limitation, we can arrange added flights to accommodate you, for an added fee.
*2 AlpenView staff will clean your fish (gut, filet and etc.). AlpenView staff will smoke (cold and/or hot process) up to 10 lbs of fish per person. AlpenView staff will instruct you and supply you with facilities and materials to vacuum pack and freeze your fish. AlpenView will supply you with one insulated fish box to transport your fish home.
AlpenView will provide these services for up to 50 lbs of finished product per person. For guests who wish to take more than 50 lbs, AlpenView will supply these services for an additional charge of $2.50 per pound and $25.00 per box.
*3 Guests may bring their own tackle if they choose. You may be more successful with equipment that you are familiar with.
*4 Guests are encouraged to bring their own rain gear, boots and waders. You may be more comfortable with equipment that is fitted to you.
*5 AlpenView Wilderness Lodge, Inc. does not serve alcohol. However guests are welcome to bring their own. Larger groups who anticipate bringing a substantial amount should let AlpenView know well in advance so transportation can be arranged. We do provide a variety of soft drinks and juices for guests.
