FloatplaneBoat
Tanaku Lodge sits in Elfin Cove, a tiny boardwalk village on the northwest tip of Chichagof Island, about 85 miles west of Juneau where Cross Sound meets the open Gulf of Alaska. The village can only be reached by floatplane or boat, and guests fly in from Juneau.
The Meier family and partners Jim and Christy Benton run a multi-boat, multi-captain operation that fishes the nearby outer coast for halibut, king and silver salmon, lingcod and rockfish. Rates include shared lodging, guided fishing, tackle, bait and lures, and packaging of the catch for the flight home. The lodge holds about 28 guests.
The lodge offers two packages, 3 days/3 nights and 5 days/6 nights, and prices are by phone only. Airfare to Juneau, the flight to Elfin Cove, and hotel nights during weather delays are not included.
