Ravencroft Lodge offers two distinctly different types of packages. You can either come to the Lodge on a Guided Package, or you may choose to do a Self-Guided Package. Choosing the right package for you and your group depends upon several factors, including your experience and comfort level, as well as experience with operating boats and/or kayaks in a coastal marine environment. Also, your familiarity with Alaska weather and wildlife.

Guided Fishing

Ravencroft Lodge's Guided Fishing packages are designed for the person who wishes to come and relax and leave everything to us. A knowledgeable guide, for every one to four fishermen, will pilot your fishing skiff each day, taking care of the boat, tackle and bait/lures, as well as clean, package and freeze your catch at the end of each day. Fishing will be for Salmon, Dolly Varden Trout, Halibut, Rockfish and Cod. Our newest and most exciting package is Salmon Shark fishing, from our 37-foot motor cruiser.

Guided Kayaking

Your Guided Kayaking adventure package will begin at the beach in front of the lodge each morning, and end back there each evening. Your guide will begin with a basic instructional course on the first morning, and each day will be a trip into one of the surrounding sheltered bays. Some day's outings will begin directly from the beach at the lodge, while others will start out with a trip by 'mother-ship' to one of the more outlying areas to be explored. The group will return to the lodge each evening in time for dinner.

The area of Prince William Sound where the lodge sits sandwiched between the inlet and the rainforest has literally hundreds of miles of deserted bays, lagoons, sheltered beaches and shorelines. It is an undiscovered kayakers paradise. From the Lodge, one may go for a few hours trip or multiple days into these seldom-visited coastal mountain inlets.

Packages Include the Following:

	Comfortable, heated bedrooms - including bedding and towels.
	Bathrooms & hot showers - accessed from the covered porch which surrounds the sleeping quarters building.
	Meals - Three meals per day. Breakfast and dinner served in the lodge dining room, with a sack lunch on the boat or on the beach.
	Fishing skiffs and/or kayaks - equipped with all Coast-Guard required safety equipment.
	Fishing rods/reels - spinning rods for Salmon & Trout, deep-water rods for the saltwater bottom-fish, as well as heavy-duty gear for Salmon Sharks.

	Your guide will take care of the boats and equipment, including fuel, lures, bait and other items as needed.

The Weather and What to Bring- Alaskan weather is unpredictable and can change hourly. Summer temperatures range from the mid-60's to the low 70's. Rain and showers are frequent in the summer months. Even on the sunniest days of summer, the temperature may feel cool. Layered clothes is a good idea, and you will find that long sleeve shirts feel good on most days. A light jacket will probably come in handy. Good rain gear is a must, along with warm head gear. Good rubber soled shoes, or rubber boots. Be sure to bring a camera, flashlight, binoculars and your personal items. Bring your favorite spinning rod or fly rod, or the lodge will supply one.
