Southeast Alaska
The Lodge at Whale Pass is located in the heart of the famed Inside Passage area of Southeast Alaska. The lodge sits by the shore of a quiet bay off Whales Passage on the NE corner of Prince of Wales, Island. The third largest island in the U.S.. This is just one of many remote islands that are within the huge Tongas National Forest. This large temperate rainforest still contains huge tracts of old growth timber drained by jeweled creeks and river.
Prince of Wales Island is the third largest island in the United States, with Kodiak Island being the largest and the big island of Hawaii the second. Prince of Wales Island includes the main island and hundreds of adjacent islands – a total of more than 2,600 square miles with 990 miles of coastline and countless bays waiting to be explored. Its 990 mile coastline has numerous bays, coves, inlets and points.
From this remote spot our guests have access to a diverse island landscape and abundant wildlife surrounded by even more islands. We will immerse you in one of the most spectacular settings on the planet. All within a couple of hours from Seattle, WA.
Reaching this great escape is very easy. Travel from your home town to Seattle (SEA) and your choice of major airlines, then transfer to one of many non-stops flights on Alaska Airlines to Ketchikan (KTN). From there the adventure begins. We put you on a float plane for a scenic flight up the Inside Passage, up the coast of Prince of Wales Island, right to our dock in Whale Pass, Alaska.
