The Tour
A two-hour, up-close look at Naknek and the salmon fishery that powers Bristol Bay.
I pick you up where you're staying
Any lodge, B&B, or hotel in Naknek or King Salmon. Just tell me where you're staying when you book.
On the tour you'll:
Bristol Bay is home to the largest wild sockeye salmon run in the world, and Naknek is right at the center of the action. This tour shows you the side of Alaska most visitors never see.
Perfect for a check-in or check-out day. Arriving in King Salmon before your lodge is ready, or waiting on a flight out? Two hours is an easy fit, and I'll work around your check-in time or flight.
