   Chris was our guide for a full day of sockeye salmon. We had gone with another outfit a couple of days before and caught zero. We had a 9 year old and a 94 year old in our group. He made sure that they were safe and comfortable. He even built a fire in the rain to keep them warm. Chris reminded us when it was 15 minutes before we had to leave and wouldn't you know it, the fish starting hitting. He allowed us to stay until we got our limit of 24 sockeye salmon. This is a trip we will never forget. He then proceeded to filet the fish, What a masterful job he did! I had watched 4 or 5 Youtube videos, and he blew them away. I usually don't write reviews unless I'm upset, the service was soo great, I was compelled to. WAY BEYOUND EXPECTATIONS!!! See more..

   Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   My husband and I flew to Alaska from San Diego and had a fishing trip planned with our guide Bill to go silver salmon fishing. We started our day at 5:30 am because Bill wanted to ensure we had the best spot on the river. The last couple weeks were slow for salmon fishing and Bill wanted to give us the best possible chance to catch something. It was extremely cold, 30 degrees but Bill packed two portable heaters. I was extremely grateful because I am not used to that kind of cold! I caught 2 giant salmon and the other couple caught 3. We were really because the other boats only caught 1 or nothing at all. Bill is a really genuinely good guy. We chatted for hours and I can just tell he is a hard working genuinely nice person. It is hard to come by people like him him. My husband and i wished we had another day planned with Bill because we had such a good experience. We plan to come back next summer. I highly suggest booking this charter. You won’t be disappointed.

6. 4.5 Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church (43 reviews)
   - A Unique Experience
   Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   This Russian Orthodox Church is a beautiful National Historical Site. Initially the Church was locked, but the gift shop was open. The attendant was pleasant and knowledgeable. Because she did not have any other customers she showed us the inside of the Church. For me, this was the first time I've been in an Orthodox Church and found it quite moving. From the Icons to the architect this is well worth a few minutes of your time. ( I should note that the Church is kept locked. Not everyone who visits may have the opportunity to see the inside, but even a walk around the outside is worth a stop.) See more..
   
7. 4.5 King of the River (26 reviews)
   - Sloggin' hogs!
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   Dean and his deckhand Wade were awesome! Me, my dad, and father-in-law had a full day on the Kenai with Dean fishing reds. We didn't quite limit out but we had our opportunities. Dean put us on fish immediately and Wade supported anything we needed. The King of the River crew was on time and meant business starting at 4:00am. As guys who love to fish, we like that in a guiding service. Dean and Wade fought for some shoulder room for us and maintained it throughout the day. We had a great time and I wouldn't want to be on that river with anyone else. I'm excited to come back in June and book a king salmon trip with these guys! Cheers and tight lines! See more..
   
8. 4.5 ACE Fishing Adventures (22 reviews)
   - Great Fishing Experience with great guides
   Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   Ace Fishing Adventures (Aaron Cooper) was referred to us by by another guide service that was not able to accommodate our schedule. We were extremely pleased. My wife and I booked a Halibut trip out of Homer and a King trip out of Kenai. The halibut trip was great, limited and had a great time with Aaron and Mark, who were extremely experienced and accommodating. On the day of the King trip we met Aaron at the landing and he told us that he could take us out, but because of heavy rain putting a lot of silt and debris in the river he doubted it would be a successful trip. We went over out schedule with him and he suggested substituting a trip with his partner Mark for silvers out of Seward, which fit our schedule perfectly. We limited on silvers and had another great day on the water with Mark. My experience is most guides would have just spent the day on the water and at the end of the day, "oh well." I highly recommend Ace Adventures. See more..

10. 4.5 North Pennisula Recreation Center (9 reviews)
    - THE BEST INDOOR RECREATION AREA IN THE USA!!
    Monday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Sports Complexes
    What can I say? I would swim here everyday!! As it was, it's a 12-mile drive, but worth it. The water is a comfortable warm, unlike the high schoo in Ketchikan. The people there are nice. And I adored the hot tub. If you're overweight, don't worry! Jump in the water. No one is there to judge you. They are just happy to see you there! Definitely handicap accessible in and out of the water. See more..

    Joel and Keith and Matt have been flying us and our cargo from Kenai to our cabin in trading bay for two years now. We fly over every few weeks all summer and they are expert loadmasters and pilots. Our kids fly over with them to visit us too! They are flexible and cost effective. Their thousands of hours experience and meticulous safety ethics gives us the confidence we need to know we are in good hands. I would fly anywhere in the world with them! See more..
