From the reviews

I took my 13 year old son to Larson bay for a three day fishing trip with Captain Nick. It was a great time start to finish. Nick is a pro when it comes to finding fish! He had us on the fish within minutes of dropping lines in the water. It was non-stop action all day.

Amazing doesn't begin to describe the time we spent in Larsen Bay with Nick at the Driftwood Wilderness Lodge. One week of ocean and river fishing with Nick as our guide was just what we needed to recharge and refresh.

Avery- I would like to thank Captain Nick for a wonderful and rewarding experience at Driftwood lodge. We (4 guys) whom had never been to Alaska before were shown a great time fishing. We caught our limit of halibut, salmon, and rock fish. I had told Captain Nick we were on a freezer filling mission.

★★★★★ — Avery, Sep 2025

If you want a laidback, rustic, fun fishing (or hunting!) experience, Driftwood Wilderness is the best! Food is hearty and delicious, rooms are comfortable and the location is spot on perfect! Nick is a great guide and knows what you need to get on fish. Bear slays it in the kitchen- everything is delicious.

Getting married at Driftwood Wilderness Lodge

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
