Tipping Procedure
In Alaska, it is the custom to tip the staff for the services they provide. This can sometimes become a confusing proposition, so we would like to suggest the following general guidelines. We recommend tipping at least 15% of your per person rate. Cash is the preferred method of payment for your gratuity.

We do not have a liquor license but you are welcome to purchase liquor in Juneau. While fishing with The Wild Alaskan Lodge your safety is our greatest concern. Alcohol and/or drugs impair your mental capacity and are strictly prohibited on our fishing boats, our dock or on the catamaran.
Fish Processing
Every night your fish will be cleaned, fileted, vacuum-sealed and flash frozen on-site. At the end of your trip it is packed in fish boxes and travels home with you as checked luggage. Once your fish leaves The Wild Alaskan Lodge, you are responsible for and the care of your catch.
