Your own private cabin.
We take up to 12 guests per week. This ensures first-class service by our professional chefs and guides.
Comfortable private cabins await guests when they return from the river. Each cabin is fronted by a broad deck where there is plenty of room to remove gear. Numerous amenities help you care for your gear at the end of the fishing day, including boot and wader racks, rod racks and a high pressure hose to wash off waders. Propane heaters warm the cabin quickly and a private bath in each cabin ensures a refreshing shower for everyone after the fishing day.
When the evening is over, guests retire to a comfortable bed with crisp clean sheets over a quality mattress, warm blankets, a cozy comforter and two pillows. A sound night’s sleep is practically guaranteed in the cool, fresh, clean air of Alaska.
In the mornings, guides are happy to bring coffee to your cabin piping hot and just the way you like it. Wide boardwalks connect all the cabins to the dining lodge and observation lounge.

Frequently asked questions
Here at Alaska Expedition our guides have more than 10+ years experience in the field. Our main lodge and base of operations is also a full service sport fishing lodge meaning our guides are in the field longer than just hunting season and build familiarity with animal movements, habitat and location. Having the infrastructure of a full service lodge allows us to accommodate our hunters with a high level of service when it comes to Safety, Camp Locations and Overall Support during your big game hunt.
We are located in Alaska's Game Management Unit 06, on the Gulf Coast between Cordova and Yakutat on the famed Tsiu River.
Absolutely! We encourage our hunters to get out on our local river and cast to our hard fighting silver salmon. The Tsiu River is home to one of the most premier coho salmon fisheries in the state of Alaska according to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. Bring the family back to experience our world class fishery and show the kids a special part of Alaska.
We target Brown Bear both spring and fall here at Alaska Expedition with our spring season commencing in April and May and our fall season taking place in September and October.
Black bear can be hunted both spring and fall here at Alaska Expedition with our spring season commencing in April and May and our fall season taking place in September and October.
Moose hunting begins September 1st for us here at Alaska Expedition. We typically run our moose hunts through mid October but can hunt them till November 30 in our area.
Mountain Goat season begins August 20 and runs till January 31st in our hunting area.
Here at Alaska Expedition we have WiFi internet and Satellite Phone service.
Typically our camp only allows 2 hunters during a period of 7-10 days unless we have special requests. We are not a production outfitter meaning we do not stack a high number of hunters in a area during a short season. Our hunting season is one of the longest seasons in all of Alaska and we choose to space our hunts out over a longer period of time and give our hunters a wider variety of country to hunt during their stay with us.
No, you will have to purchase the correct license and tags applying to the animals of your choice prior to your arrival at Alaska Expedition. Our office will provide you with specific information on how to purchase these licenses online.
Absolutely, references are available upon your request and we highly recommend you check references when selecting the right guide in Alaska.
We target a permitted area of more than 1000+ square miles of some of Alaska's most remote back country.
We conduct hunts from both our main lodge and comfortable tented spike camps.
Yes, we can accommodate non-hunters in the field for an extra fee.
Temperatures are cool. Sunny days are the norm, but rain can be expected at times. Snow is possible, especially in April.
Temperatures are normally mild, but may be cold at night. Weather tends toward rainy, but there will normally be many sunny days. Snow is possible in September and likely in October.
In addition to a hunting license, nonresident hunters must buy appropriate locking tags to hunt big game in Alaska — this tag is locked on the animal immediately after the kill and must remain there until the animal is processed or exported. Brown bears, and black bears from some areas, must also be sealed. This means taking the skull and skin (with claws and evidence of gender attached) to an officially designated sealing officer, who records data on the hunt and the animal and locks a seal on the skin (and skull for bears).
In Alaska, hunters may generally possess and use firearms with few restrictions. State law prohibits the following unless you have been issued a Federal permit to possess such a firearm:
Fully automatic firearms
Rifles with a barrel less than 16"
Shotguns with a barrel less than 18", and
Rifles or shotguns less than 26" in total length
Rifles, shotguns and handguns are legal for hunting in Alaska. Rimfire cartridges generally may be used only for small game. See the Alaska Hunting Regulations for details.
When targeting Alaska's big game we recommend a rifle of a minimum .30 caliber. Brown Bear and Moose are large animals and we promote quick and ethical harvest methods. Goat hunts do not require a rifle of this caliber.
We recommend sighting your rifle in to 100 yards and knowing where it shoots at 200-300 yards. We typically will not pick a fight with a brown bear over 200 yards as our area is heavily wooded but we ask that you know where your rifle shoots at this distance in the case this matter occurs. You will check your rifle for accuracy upon arrival at the lodge to insure your rifle traveled without being knocked off and is indeed shooting the way you left it. We also ask that you familiarize yourself and practice off shooting sticks before traveling to Alaska.
