These guys are having WAY too much fun! Almost... |
| Included in the cost of your adventure booking, the Lodge offers a private charter from Anchorage to Goodnews Bay. Flying direct, non-stop the flight lasts approximately two hours. Of course, guests have the option of flying commercially. However, commercial flights typically have a layover in Bethel that lasts up to six hours! | |
Book a Hotel Room |
|
| Your adventure to the Goodnews River requires an overnight stay in Anchorage. Because lodging in Anchorage can be difficult to locate during peak season, we offer group rates to all our guests who stay overnight at the Best Western Barret Inn in Anchorage. The cost for a two-bed room is $189 per person, and $179 per person for a single-bed room. This package - offered to you as a courtesy to make your trip to our lodge as enjoyable as possible - is not required but is suggested. | |
