Alaska Glacier Adventures

Alaska Glacier Adventures operates fishing trips out of Craig and Sitka, Alaska and hunting trips out of Craig and Ketchikan, Alaska. Craig is 50 miles west of Ketchikan across the water on Prince of Wales Island.

We offer fully guided fishing and hunting trips from our brand new 38' custom-built, twin-diesel, high-speed, fishing vessel the "GLACIER".

Overnight, Remote, All-Inclusive Fishing Trips

We will leave port on the first day of your trip aboard the "GLACIER" and during your trip you will fish for Halibut, King Salmon, Lingcod, Yelloweye Rockfish, Dungeness Crab, and Giant Alaska Spot Prawns.

Many other fish are available to catch and the sight-seeing opportunities abound with frequent sightings of Humpback Whales, Killer Whales, Bears, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Seals, Puffins, Cormorants, Gulls, Murres, and other sea birds.

River Fishing, Kayaking & Bear Viewing are all available during the trip. At the end of your trip, you and your processed/boxed catch will be transported to the B&B/Motel of your choice. The sightseeing opportunities around town are well worth enjoying after your fishing trip.

Included in the package is all fish processing, all gear/tackle, taxes, licenses, lodging and meals while you are on the boat. Not included is airfare/travel to and from Craig and Sitka and any expenses incurred in town before and after the trip. This "once in a lifetime trip" is far more than just a fishing trip.

Hunting Trips

Spring Hunts for the Giant Island Black Bear - These boat based hunts occur from late April until early June when the bears have the best hair, the days are long, the fishing is good and the bears are rutting. Prince of Wales has some of the biggest bears in the world and regularly put bears in the record book. These bears have recently been reclassified to "Island Bears" by Safari Club International because they are so much bigger.

Fall Goat Hunts - These are mainly fly-in hunts to a high alpine lake that finds you in the midst of goat country. A large base camp is set up on the shore of the lake with lots of whole food, propane heat, large tents, cots, chairs, tables, etc. We also have smaller spike camps if we need to spike out farther from the lake.

The success rate has averaged 100% shooting opportunity for those who take the hunt seriously, come mentally and physically prepared and have the proper gear. Weather also plays an important role but realize the hunt is very physically demanding and likely one of the toughest and most rewarding hunts you will ever do.

Winter Seaduck/Sitka Blacktail Deer Hunts - These boat based Nov./Dec. hunts are during the rut for monster bucks on Prince of Wales island which has many of the top trophies in the record books. This is also the best time of year to hunt the beautiful Seaducks when we target Harlequin, Oldsquaw, Surf-Scoter, White-Wing Scoter, Common Scoter, Barrow Goldeneye, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Hooded Merganser, Common Merganser, Red-Breasted Merganser, and the occasional Common Eider and King Eider which can show up late in the season. It is not uncommon at all to go home with 10-12 different species of ducks. The shrimping and crabbing are included on all boat-based trips.

The BOAT "GLACIER" - This 38' custom-built, high-speed, twin-diesel, fiberglass hull boat is equipped with all the latest technology including 2 generators and inverters for 110volt AC power, a big stove for plenty of heat, a large bathroom with hot shower and hot water, BBQ, crab and shrimp pot propane cooker, professional vacuum sealer, chest freezer, 20 shrimp pots, crab pots and all the fishing gear/tackle you can imagine.

The boat can accommodate 4 clients and has large comfortable bunks for a great nights rest after a long day of fishing or hunting. The boat travels upwards of 30 m.p.h. so you will not waste your time traveling but rather increase your fishing and hunting opportunities by traveling fast. Your captain, Kurt Whitehead, is a 15 year veteran fishing and hunting guide in Alaska. He is an Alaskan Registered Guide-Outfitter with a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's license and an F.A.A. approved Commercial Pilot with all the ratings. He will do his best to provide a successful, quality and safe "adventure of a lifetime.
