Our first full operational season opens in 2026. We operate with a maximum of six guests at a time to ensure a personal and unforgettable experience.

Guests fly commercially into King Salmon, Alaska (AKN). A Katmai Sky Lodge staff member will greet you at the airport and drive you to the floatplane dock for a 15–20 minute floatplane transfer directly to the lodge.

Recommended Alaska Airlines Flights:

• Arrival: 2:07 pm or 4:50 pm

• Departure: 1:24 pm or 3:07 pm

These flights align with our transfer schedule for smooth travel.

No, fly-fishing will return in 2027. The 2026 season is focused solely on bear and wildlife viewing while we complete lodge operations. Guests interested in fishing can join our early-interest list for updates and dates.

We provide most gear for excursions, but guests should bring:

• Warm, layered clothing suitable for Alaska’s weather

• Waterproof jacket and pants

• Sturdy boots for creek crossings and hiking

• Camera and binoculars

A detailed packing list will be provided after booking.

Due to safety and the nature of bear-viewing adventures, our lodge is designed for adults and older teens. Please contact us directly if you’d like to discuss exceptions.

Our schedules are fully flexible and adapt to weather conditions, wildlife activity, and guest preferences. Safety is our top priority, and our guides will adjust plans as needed to ensure the best possible experience.
