Map of Alaska with Alaska King Salmon Adventures camp next to DillinghamGetting Here

You will fly into Dillingham the day before your trip starts and spend the night in town. Alaska Airlines has several daily flights from Anchorage to Dillingham. It’s a short 50 minute flight over mountains and the Bristol Bay low lands. There are several places in town to stay and we recommend Beaver Creek B&B. On your return trip please book the later flight out of Dillingham. If you book the early flight we can not guarantee you will make your flight.

Dillingham to Alaska King Salmon Adventure’s Nushagak River Lodge

The plane service will pick you up the morning your trip begins usually between 7:30am and 10:30am and drive you to the plane. You will fly on a De Havilland Beaver. These amphibious aircraft are the perfect “Alaskan Taxis.” Your adventure begins with a river landing on the Nushagak and delivery right up on the beach to our Alaskan Salmon Fishing camp.
