WHEN SCHOOL’S BACK IN SESSION…
It’s your turn for recess!
Join us at Whaler’s for one of the best-kept secrets of the season – our Back to School Trips, running August 29th through the end of our season. While the kids are back in class, the lodge takes on a whole new kind of quiet. It’s a calm, late-summer retreat filled with crisp mornings, incredible fishing, and that peaceful Alaskan magic that only happens when the world slows down a bit.
This adult only week is tailor-made for guests who love the tranquility of the wild. Our freshwater streams and lakes are full of opportunity – from feisty trout to the last strong runs of late-season cohos. The wildlife is active, the waters are clear, and the fishing is nothing short of fantastic.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a slower, quieter Whaler’s experience – this is it.

Aug 29 – Sep 4, 2026
(potentially September 8th)
Adults only – No kids, no crowds, just world-class fishing and a little end-of-summer calm.
Freshwater spots for this week are limited, so give us a call or send us an email to reserve your place on the water.
Because let’s be honest – you’ve earned a little “grown-up” recess.
