Wow What a great experience! We caught so many fish. Our guide, Jeff, was very experienced and helpful. We loved the walk to the waterfall and were suprised by the bear that was checking it out as well. The food was delicious. Our trip to the resort took a little longer due to weather conditions. We appreciated their concerns about safety.

Business Response:

Thank you so much, Stacey. Yes, this season's weather was challenging at times, and we're so happy you enjoyed the trip. Jeff is great as are so many of our guides. The bears are a lot of fun to see, too, along with our resident deer. Thanks again!

Trip of a lifetime! Unbelievable place, from the minute you book to the pre-trip Covid testing to arriving in Ketchikan, to the floatplane flight to the resort, the entire time we were there, fishing, meals, preparing and packing our fish, all of it, the float plane back, until we got on the plane, the Waterfall team took unbelievable care of us to make sure we had a trip of a lifetime, incredible service you won't see many, if any, places. Special thanks to our guide Jeff, we had a great time fishing, super accommodating, made sure we caught literally as much fish as we could handle, saw all the sights, and had a great time. If you've ever thought about going to Alaska fishing you aren't going to do better than this place.

Business Response:

Thank you so much, bttravelerjr1! We truly work hard to assure that all our guests have the best time possible. It certainly helps that Alaska is as incredible as it is. Thanks for coming, and we hope to have fun with you again!

Great Experience! My 13 year old son and I had a magical time together at the Waterfall Resort beginning August 2020. The resort staff took great care in making us feel safe with the covid issues. Our guide, Grant, was awesome and got us into tons of fish. The food was amazing and facility was clean. Seeing the black bears come into the falls at night looking for fish was a highlight as well. Time spent with my son on the back of a boat fishing all day with no cell service was PRICELESS! We'd go again in a heartbeat.

Business Response:

Joseph, it's so true that getting away from the daily grind, unplugging and enjoying the peace and adventure with loved ones cannot be replaced, and Alaska is the perfect place to accommodate it. The bears are so fun to see, especially since they really don't give a hoot about people. They just want fish like everyone else, along with their grass. We're so pleased to have had you visit with your son. We're looking forward to another great season next year and hope you can join us again for more quality time.

Great job persevering thru Covid Just finished my 24th'ish trip to Waterfall (so many times, I lost count) so, obviously I like the place a lot. But, kudos to the Waterfall Group to persevere thru Covid and still get us some fishing time. Most other fishing camps & trips this year have been cancelled so it was awesome to get this trip in. Camp did a great job under the circumstances to keep things safe but still provide an excellent fishing adventure. And, the expanded King Salmon limits were a beautiful silver lining. See you again next year!

Business Response:

Thanks so much for your understanding, and we're so glad to hear your trip was an "excellent fishing adventure." We truly do our best each year regardless, and, of course, Alaska does the rest. We're already looking forward to next year and seeing you again!

Fishing experience was not good. See below. Facilities, food, staff and accomodations are excellent. The guide we had was average and did not find the fish that others did during our stay. We booked a 4 night 3 day fishing trip. Unfortunately one of the 2 full days was terrible weather and we fished only 2 hours. Our half day fishing on each day cosisted of one hour boat ride to location and one hour back.This left 2 hours of fishing at most. The full day was 2 hours out and 2 hours back so 4 hours of fishing. Probably 50% of the boats at the same location crawling all over themselves.The fishing experience for the cost was extremely dissapointing.

Business Response:

Hi dadami39. We are so unhappy that you had less than a wonderful experience. Although we cannot control weather, and it was, unfortunately, difficult weather, more so than usual. That impacts about everything. We would like to have the opportunity to talk with you by phone. Would you be willing to call 800-544-5125 and ask for Mike? He will do whatever he can to help.

Just wrapping up four days at the Waterfall. My son and I loved every bit of the experience. Our guide knew where the fish were, the rooms were comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and handled every little detail. We’ll be back next year, and the year after that, and ...

Business Response:

Thank you, Mike! We truly enjoyed you and your son. He is quite the fisherman! So happy to hear we'll be seeing you both again.

Amazing Fishing Trip We went here August 2008 (that option was not available when I entered this review) it was fabulous. The people, the fishing, the nature, the environment. It was all great. I am not an experienced Fisher person and it was still very fun. The smaller daily boats made it for food family time. We caught our limit everyday and they flash froze and sent all our fish home. I dont eat or cook fish so our friends also really enjoyed the spoils of our wonderful vacation. We want to take the children here when they are old enough.

Business Response:

Thank you, Debbie. You visited us in 2008! Are your kids old enough yet to come up and see us? We have several teens and even younger each year. This year, 2019, our youth winner for king salmon was only 14 years old. He landed a king salmon 43.3 pounds! The 11 year old daughter of a winning parent landed numerous halibut on her first trip here. Thanks so much for your glowing review, especially since you're still remembering the trip. We do try hard to assure great experiences and lifelong memories. We look forward to seeing you again!

A place to make you love the sport I a very organized and active experience. A beautiful place to fish and a wonderful staff. It was my first time fishing ever and be the time we were leaving, I knew that I loved fishing that this was the place that made me love it. As fun as this place was I would suggest adding something for kids like a pool or hot tub. These things would be really nice to have, especially after a long day on the boat.

Business Response:

Thank you, Harrison! We really enjoy fishing with our guests, and especially seeing the reactions for the first time. We even have a fishing guide who was dubbed Kaptain Kangaroo due his special knack with kids and first-timers. As for a swimming pool, we do have a smaller, luxury resort that has both hot-tub and sauna, Steamboat Bay Fishing Club. Same fishing with great guides, and what's really special is that because it's further out on Noyes Island, you can come in from fishing for lunch or choose to stay on the boat. It's a smaller lodge with private chef, open bar, game room upstairs, and only 16 people at a time in the lodge. It's even more personal and special. Give us a call about it, Harrison. We'd love to see you again! 800-544-5125
