Boutique bear viewing, fly fishing, and photography adventures in
KATMAI NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA 
ABOUT US
A New Chapter Built by Hand
After two years of building Katmai Sky Lodge by hand, 2026 marked our first season welcoming guests to our home in Katmai.
Shaped by decades of mentorship and more than 75 years of combined guiding and hospitality experience, we built the lodge around the kind of Alaska experience we’ve always loved most: small groups, wild places, good food, and the freedom to let each day unfold around the weather, wildlife, and the people we’re sharing it with.
With just six guests at a time, Katmai Sky is intentionally small. That allows us to keep each stay personal and flexible- whether the day leads to bears at Brooks Falls, a remote creek, a floatplane adventure, an afternoon of fly fishing, or a quiet morning paddling the lake.
This is our home, and we feel incredibly lucky to share it.

Getting Here
Your Katmai Sky adventure begins in King Salmon, Alaska (AKN), where a member of our team will greet you upon arrival and take care of the next leg of your journey.
From the airport, you'll enjoy a private transfer to our floatplane dock along the Naknek River, where you'll board our floatplane for a scenic 15–20 minute flight directly to the lodge. Along the way, you'll get your first glimpse of Katmai's vast lakes, winding rivers, and untouched wilderness from above.
Round-trip floatplane transportation between King Salmon and Katmai Sky Lodge is included in your stay, making the journey itself part of the adventure.

Recommended Flight Times to & from King Salmon
To help ensure smooth travel days, we recommend booking your commercial flights to King Salmon (AKN) within the following windows:
Arriving in King Salmon: After 2:00 PM
Departing King Salmon: After 10:00 AM and preferably before 2:00 PM
Our floatplane transfers are coordinated around guest arrivals and departures, allowing time to transport departing guests, prepare the lodge for incoming visitors, and make the approximately 20-minute flight between King Salmon and Katmai Sky Lodge.
We recommend avoiding early morning departures whenever possible, as fog and low visibility can occasionally delay floatplane operations in Katmai.
If you're considering flights outside these recommended windows, please check with us before booking so we can help coordinate your travel plans.
Fly-Fishing in Katmai
Wild fish. Remote water. Very few people.
Our small-group fly-fishing trips are built around exploring Katmai’s remote rivers, creeks and lakes by floatplane. Depending on the season and conditions, days may be spent chasing wild rainbow trout, Arctic grayling, Dolly Varden and northern pike in places that can only be reached by air.
Whether you’ve been fly fishing your whole life or have never picked up a fly rod, you’re welcome here. We love introducing guests to fly fishing, and with just six guests at the lodge, our days can be tailored around experience level, conditions and what’s fishing best.
