A day at Pybus Point Lodge includes a hearty breakfast, fishing or sightseeing on calm waters, gourmet dinner, and evening activities like hikes, kayaking, or fireside relaxation—an unforgettable Alaskan adventure!
If you're eager to experience Alaska but don't know quite what to expect from a day at Pybus Point Lodge, you're in the right place. Our team gets a lot of questions about the typical daily itinerary here, so we thought we’d give you an example of what that could look like.
To give you the best chance at a great day on the waters of Alaska, we like to start each morning with a hearty breakfast. Around 7:00 am, we’ll kick off the day with coffee, eggs, bacon, potatoes, fresh fruit, baked goodies, protein drinks, and some other great breakfast options like cold cereal and oatmeal. We can’t have you fighting fish, kayaking, or hiking through the forest on an empty stomach!
At breakfast, we’ll also have some tasty sandwiches, premade salads, and hot thermoses of soup for you to take with you on the boat, as well as a wide variety of chips, snacks and candy bars. That way, you can have a full day of adventure without splitting it up to come back to the lodge for lunch.
Around 8:00, we’ll cut lines and pull away from the dock. You’ll be decked out in high-quality rain gear and deck boots from Day 1, so you can be ready for anything that comes your way.
You might want to spend the day fishing (we call it “catching” at Pybus). Or maybe you’d prefer to keep an eye out for whales breaching on your way to Baranof Warm Springs or the Sawyer Glacier.
Whether you’re a big fisherman or you’re mainly in Alaska to see the sights, we’ll tailor your trip to your group’s interests. There's no need to reserve your activities ahead of time–our excursions don’t fill up, and we like to be able to plan around the weather and changing interests.
Once you arrive back at the lodge after a full day on the water, we’re happy to take pictures of you with your catch. Our captains will fillet it for you, front and center on the docks – you’re welcome to watch the experts at work!
If you’d like to do some self-guided fishing and wildlife viewing, we have kayaks and new, jet-powered skiffs.
Dinner is around 6-7:00 pm at our lodge restaurant. We have an incredibly talented culinary team that will be happy to make a variety of meals to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, with an additional buffet that usually has some good comfort foods. Our chefs have plenty of experience cooking for guests with dietary restrictions as well, so you’ll be in good hands.
If you’d like to eat your fish for dinner, our talented culinary team can prepare one of your catches each day and serve it to you in our restaurant. It’s cooked differently each day, so you’ll get to try several exciting recipes.
Most evenings, we’ll have activities set up for anyone who’s not ready for the day to end. That could be a rainforest hike, happy hour, a kayak trip, kids’ projects for those with youngsters, or a relaxed evening telling stories around the fire.
As you wind down from a day packed with fishing and exploration, you might roast s’mores around the fire, play darts or cornhole with other guests, or share a drink with friends while looking for bears through the spotting scopes around the property. We also have a few guitars at the lodge that you’re welcome to use. If you'd rather, you can just relax in the hot tubs or take a hot shower in your cabin. You’ve worked hard, played harder, and deserve some relaxation before heading into your next day at Pybus.

Incredible Experience!
Pybus Point Lodge has some of the most stunning scenery I’ve ever seen. I mean absolutely breathtaking! In addition to the amazing fishing, I hiked to a beautiful secluded lake, soaked in some hot pots, saw several waterfalls, went whale watching, saw bears and all kinds of wildlife and marine life. As a photographer, photographing a wedding under a waterfall will remain a highlight of my life.

Wonderful and Magical Place
We had an amazing business retreat to Pybus Point Lodge. Everything was top notch... the fishing, the staff, the boat captains, the food, the accommodations, and especially the scenery. I really liked that Pybus took care of everything from start to finish. Chef John is an amazing cook. We had delicious hot meals the entire trip. The cabins were amazing and very comfortable. The fishing was awesome and that’s coming from a guy that doesn’t fish that much.

We brought home 100lbs of fish!
My wife and I spent a week at Pybus Point this Summer. We had a beautiful, private room overlooking the bay and our own new, ensuite, private bathroom. What an amazing place for couples to get away together. We set our own breakfast time, met our boat captain after, fished the day along, and returned to clean up and enjoy a nice dinner at the restaurant. Next time Alaska is on the trip list, Sherrie and I will go together, and it will be to Pybus Point!

Fun in Alaska
This was my first trip to Pybus Point. I stayed in one of their new cabins. The accommodations were incredible, the view onto the bay in the mornings was stunning. I loved the staff and the food was really very good. All of this and they have new boats to take you out onto fairly calm waters to fish. The fishing guides were great. Overall a great experience. Definitely going back.
