Fly, Dine, and Experience Alaska

A scenic seaplane journey followed by a Dungeness crab feast at a remote waterfront lodge

A journey through Alaska’s wilderness, ending with a true Alaskan dining experience

This experience begins with a seaplane flight from Ketchikan, crossing over forested mountains, remote inlets, and the rugged coastline of Revillagigedo Island.

As the flight continues, the landscape opens into the dramatic scenery of Misty Fjords National Monument – where granite cliffs rise thousands of feet above deep fjords and waterfalls spill from high glacial valleys.

Along the way, your pilot provides live narration, often pointing out wildlife such as mountain goats or black bears in the surrounding terrain.

After the one-hour flight, the experience shifts from the air to the water, with a gentle landing at George Inlet Lodge, set within a quiet fjord surrounded by forest and mountains.

A Lodge Experience in a Remote Setting

Nestled along the shoreline of George Inlet, the lodge offers a setting that feels both relaxed and distinctly Alaskan.

Guests are welcomed with a drink before enjoying a freshly prepared meal featuring all-you-can-eat Dungeness crab, served alongside seasonal accompaniments.

The experience is unique to combine a beautiful flightseeing tour and join the cannery for the all-you-can-eat Dungeness crab feast with entertainment by the serving staff.

A seaplane and dining Alaska experience shaped by the wilderness

The journey combines two distinct perspectives of Alaska – from above and at ground level. From the air, the scale of the landscape becomes clear – fjords, forests, and mountains stretching in every direction.

At the lodge, the pace slows. The setting is quiet, the views are close, and the experience becomes more about taking it all in – the food, the surroundings, and the moment.

 

During the flight, guests may see:

  • Glacially carved fjords stretching deep into the mountains
  • New Eddystone Rock, a dramatic volcanic formation rising from the sea
  • High alpine lakes tucked into mountain valleys
  • Dense forests of the Tongass National Forest
  • Waterfalls plunging thousands of feet into the fjords
  • Wildlife sightings are common and may include bald eagles, mountain goats, black and brown bears, humpback whales, and orcas

From seaplane to lodge

The experience brings together two sides of Alaska – the vastness of the landscape and the comfort of a shared meal in a remote setting.

After landing on the waters of George Inlet, the aircraft glides to the dock, where guests are welcomed by the lodge team.

The transition from flight to dining is seamless, creating a natural progression from exploration to relaxation. Following the meal, guests return to Ketchikan ground transportation, completing the experience.
