How Long Should I Stay at Salmon Falls Resort?

Whether you’re planning your visit to Salmon Falls Resort for the world-class fishing, nature-filled adventures, or unique culinary experiences, we have something for everyone. With our flexible all-inclusive fishing and adventure packages, the only question is how long should you stay?

For a quick getaway: 2 Days of Adventure, 3 Nights

For a quick getaway, three nights is perfect to dive into the action. Start your trip with a Coastal Crabbing experience on your day of arrival, giving you an early taste of the Alaskan waters. Keep any Dungeness crabs you catch, and our talented kitchen team will prepare them for you to enjoy that evening.

Spend your first Adventure Day on a fully guided fishing trip with one of our experienced captains. Target species like halibut, salmon, lingcod, and rockfish, and keep an eye out for orcas, humpbacks, eagles, seals, and sea lions along the way.

On your second Adventure Day, choose two half-day adventures to round out your trip. Popular options for nature lovers include:

• • • • Eco-Kayaking: Paddle through the calm waters of Clover Pass, exploring islands and encountering intertidal life, bald eagle nests, and possibly humpback whales or orcas.
      • Zodiac Fast Boat Adventure: Take the helm of your own inflatable fast boat for a thrilling guided tour of the Pacific Ocean’s stunning seascapes.
      • E-Bike & Hike: Combine a scenic e-bike ride on the “Road to Nowhere” with a guided rainforest hike to a waterfall, where you’ll enjoy incredible views and wildlife sightings.

For Avid Anglers: 3 days of Adventure, 4 Nights

With an extra day, your experience becomes even more personalized. For avid anglers, plan for two days of fully guided fishing to fill your freezer with Alaska’s freshest catch. If you’re looking for variety, add a floatplane flightseeing tour over the stunning Misty Fjords National Monument or a remote lake drop-off for fly-fishing or kayaking in solitude.

Adventure seekers can also add half-day excursions, like:

• • • • Adventure Karts: Drive an ATV through scenic mountain trails, stopping to take in breathtaking views of the Tongass National Forest and Behm Canal.
      • Ziplining: Soar through the Tongass National Forest on a course featuring six ziplines and eight aerial traverses.

If you’d like to explore downtown Ketchikan, ask to be dropped off after your floatplane adventure to visit historic Creek Street where you can shop for one-of-a-kind treasures from local artists, discover handmade gifts, and take home a piece of Alaska’s charm.

For Those Who Want To See It All: 4 days of Adventure, 5 Nights

For a well-rounded experience, five nights offers the perfect mix of fishing, adventure, and relaxation.

• • • • Fishing Enthusiasts: Dedicate 2-3 days to fishing, alternating with adventure-packed days in between.
      • Foodies: Spend a day exploring the Hump Island Oyster Farm, followed by a private cooking demonstration back at the resort. Enjoy expertly prepared salmon and halibut dishes paired with Alaskan microbrews or fine wines.
      • Wildlife Lovers: Take a floatplane to the Anan Creek Bear Observatory, renowned for its pink salmon runs and thriving populations of brown and black bears. Finish the day with a downtown drop-off to explore Ketchikan.
