Just returned from Waterfall and I gotta say it blew my expectations out of the water. From the moment we hit the docks we were treated like royalty. The entire experience is top shelf! The accommodations, staff, food and most importantly the fishing was perfect. Gotta give a huge shoutout to our guide Nick, he worked his ass off to ensure we maximized our time out there and put us on the fish every minute. I will definitely be back and hope to be on his boat. Keep up the great job Nick and Waterfall!! See you soon. Josh S... read more

This place is absolutely amazing. From landing at the airport and boarding your plane back home with your full fish boxes, they help you every step of the way. The fishing and scenery are unbeatable. As someone who is very familiar with running a fishing lodge in a remote location I was blown away with how smoothly everything runs and how clean everything is. They have a backup plan for every scenario and every single staff member was kind and a pleasure to be around. Our guide Cy was a blast to fish with. He had us hooked u... read more

The fishing was great! Our guide Duke was the best! Caught the biggest fish I’ve ever caught at Waterfall 18 lb Halibut. Got to see and video lots of whales. The simplicity of the resort was refreshing. The location was perfect. The views are breathtaking! This was my first time, will definitely be back! Susan Robertson Manila, Arkansas 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Susan Byrd. We love seeing the whales, too, and all the beauty that Alaska shares. Congratulations on the halibut. Should be some good eating at home! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us, and we look forward to seeing you again. Cheers, Waterfall Resort Alaska

Outstanding service and location. From our guide Matt N. to the top quality boats and fishing tackle to the entire crew, we were catered to in every way imaginable. The weather was perfect, (although a little warm, 80's). Other than the lodge room view (the rock cliff and no fans in the room), there are no complaints. I'd highly recommend this place. 

Business response:

Hi, Jim. We're pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay with us. We take pride in our North River boats and in our expert fishing guides, and, of course, the gear and quality bait. It's all about creating the best experience we can. We enjoy sharing Alaska (and her warm weather) with you. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

My 12 yr old son and I have been all over: Machu Picchu, the Galapagos, Hawaii, Costa Rica, all the “cool“ places. This is the first place that we have been to where we decided before we even left that we were coming back next year. Everything about this trip is fantastic. You don’t even have to be a huge fan of fishing to absolutely love it. The facility is amazing, the food is great, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the fishing is awesome, the guides (we loved Rico), all of it. Go go go!!!!! 

Business response:

Wow, Nikki, thanks. That's impressive, and we're honored to receive such a glowing review. Thank you. What wonderful experiences to share with your son, and Alaska definitely is one no one should miss. We do our very best to live up to the beauty and adventure that Alaska offers, and certainly the abundance of fishing helps. It's our job to assure guests are able to thoroughly enjoy the total experience, including the food. Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you next year!

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 ... Done with our second trip and it was just as exciting and fun as the first. Our guide Monte was great and found the fish! Food was outstanding, except for having to now go on a diet! Staff were warm and friendly and helpful. Tip for the new owners... read more
