The Community, Wildlife & Alaska Adventure

This small, rustic Alaskan community harkens back to a simpler, slower, less stressful time in our county's history when people were more tightly linked to nature. With the exception of a few unobtrusive, lightly populated communities dotting the rugged coastal regions, this area is still pristine and characterized by invigorating clean air, huge runs of ocean-fresh salmon and halibut, abundant wildlife and lofty glacier packed peaks. Once guests enjoy a small bite of this wonderfully free and unfettered lifestyle along with the area's majestic wilderness scenery, abundant wildlife and unbeatable fishing action, they hunger for more and make Elfin Cove and Tanaku Lodge their preferred Alaskan fishing vacation destination! You will too!
