The Lodge at Whale Pass
Finally, serious fishing meets serious
adventure! The Lodge at Whale Pass is Alaska’s first premier wilderness lodge that provides
the same exceptional service and planning for adventure
activities, eco-tours, and sportfishing – making us the
perfect destination choice for corporate retreats and
incentive trips. Our location on the northeast shore of
Prince of Wales Island will immerse you in one of the
most spectacular settings on the planet, all within a
few hours of Seattle.
Each day is unique at The Lodge at Whale Pass and our
goal is to provide you and your group with the utmost in
flexibility. There is no set itinerary as the day is
yours to create; whether it’s fishing for salmon,
halibut or other bottom fish in the saltwater, trout or
salmon in the pristine streams of the Tongass National
Forest, or sea-kayaking amidst the ice of Le Conte
Glacier. Your adventure palette will consist of whale
watching, hiking, mountain biking, sea-kayaking,
wildlife viewing, caving, fishing, glacier-viewing, just
to name a few!
Our goal is to make you feel at home at The Lodge at
Whale Pass. You’ll be treated to the finest
accommodations, dining, and service that Alaska has to
offer. The lodge is blessed with ample interior spaces
for our guests to enjoy. The Great Room in the main
lodge is more introspective place designed for reading,
conversing and unwinding by the fireplace. In contrast,
the livelier ‘rec’ room, a separate building from the
main lodge, is the perfect setting for entertainment
with its gaming tables, bar and player piano.
Added amenities include our Finnish-style sauna flanked
by our hot tub, both with spectacular bay views. For
some extra pampering our licensed masseuse will help to
end the perfect adventure filled day. We also welcome
and encourage children. As part of our highly acclaimed
youth program, children of all ages, from infants to
teens, will find a world of exciting discovery, learning
and fun awaiting them at The Lodge at Whale Pass.

La Conte Glacier Tours
We have the luxury of being able to cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska's southmost glacier. The wonderful day trip holds plenty of excitement. See whales, seals and other wildlife as you motor up through the islands. Stop and fish for halibut or salmon.
The glacier is borne from mountains over ten thousand feet, carving a beautiful fjord as it heads toward saltwater. The ice pack at the base of the glacier acts as an early season rookery for Harbour Seals and thier pups. We can take some kayaks along for a more advanced paddle through the icebergs. Bring plenty of film on the trip adventure (thank God for digital cameras).
Petersburg, Alaska
Visit the quaint town of Petersburg, Alaska. This little fishing village is surrounded by gorgeous mountains and has not yet been over run by the cruise ship culture. There's an Information Center, located at the harbormasters office at the town dock, and a Visitor's Center and the Clausen Memorial Museum located just a few blocks away. There are some clothing stores and gift shops, Sons of Norway Hall has a good crafts store, there's an art gallery, a cafe to grab a great cup of coffee, and historic Sing Yee Alley is nearby.
Take a walk north of town to where you can get a good look at Wrangell Narrows and the rapid tides that pour through it. At times the tidal current swirls past the faces of the the cannery docks at some 5 knots or better - making for very challenging 'landings' for the heavily laden fishing vessels that dock here.
