Your Alaskan adventure begins in Anchorage. From there you will have the option to either take a regional flight straight to Kenai Airport (huge time and money savings) or drive a rental car from Anchorage to Tower Rock (approximately 3.5 hours, but dubbed one of "America's most scenic drives"). Complimentary airport transportation to and from the lodge is provided. If you need a vehicle during your stay (exploring the area, halibut trips, etc.) Tower Rock will hook you up with a fully insured SUV (fuel is on us!).
Gear Recommendations
Tower Rock provides all equipment and gear. From single and double handed spey rods to Orvis chest waders and rain gear. You need not bring a thing, we will have you covered from head to toe!
