“Awesome Fishing Resort in Alaska!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
2
people found this review helpful

After years of hearing about Waterfall Resort in S.E. Alaska, I finally made a trip to the resort in June. Wow, what a great fishing resort in remote, wilderness Alaska.

Waterfall Resort offers anglers a five star experience and five star fishing. Unlike many resorts in remote Alaska, Waterfall has the very best equipment, boats, experienced guides, incredible service and the very best fish packaging I have encountered. They even have an on site Alaska Airlines reservation specialist. Check your bags and fish at the resort and then pick them up at your home airport. How cool is that?

As fishing editor of GoFishMagazine.com as well as writing for many other fishing magazines, I have experienced dozens of fishing resorts and can highly recommend Waterfall Resort to anyone who wants to experience top-notch Alaska fishing for king salmon, coho salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish.

Sincerely,
John L. Beath

If you want to have a first class fishing trip plan to go to Waterfall. I just got back from my 4th trip and as usual it was a great experience. Service , accomodations, fishing and location are all fantastic.

“Great Father - Son Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

This was a wonderful trip that I purchased as a gift for my son's 29th birthday. what a fabulous experience. The rooms were excellent the food was great and our guide was the best. It was a "turnkey" operation. We showed up and they outfitted us with all of the gear. Our boat was comfortable and quick to get on the fishing spots. Our only problem was what we were going to do with 400 lbs of Halibut and Salmon? We figured that one out and had the best fish for months afterward. Waterfall does a great job of packing and sealing your catch. DO THIS TRIP!

“My first trip to Waterfall and I loved it .”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

I'm feel lucky to work for such a generous company that sent me to this special place. The staff was kind, the food was good, the fishing was blast, but the experience as a whole was memorable.

“Been here many times. Unreal. The setting. The service. And the fishing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2010

It is pricey, but worth every penny. The resort runs like a well oiled machine from arrival on the float planes to the departure day. They handle your fish and even your pictures with the fish. As long as I can afford it, I will be back every year.
