Aleutian Islands Waterfowlers  Itineraries 

Izembek lodge

This trip runs 7 days Sun-Sun and is all-inclusive with pickup from the airport in Cold bay to include all meals, lodging and fully guided hunting & fishing daily.  Rafi or Allen willl meet our guest’s at the airport and transport them to the new Waterfront Cedar lodge where all the adventures start.  Hunters should purchase their hunting license and federal & state duck stamps through the mail ahead of time or in anchorage, as services are very limited in these remote locations. The cedar lodge overlooks the bay and the magnificent 6000ft Pavlof Volcano. On your arrival day we will go out for a few hours late that afternoon and tour the area.  After a fabulous family style dinner we will have a lodge meeting and you will meet the entire lodge staff and guides, and go over the weeks itinerary. Most of our waterfowl hunting takes place inside of Izembek Wildlife Refuge and all our water sets on Izembek Lagoon that flows directly into the Bering Sea. Wakeup is at 7am and breakfast will be served from 7:30-8:00am in the lodge dining room and will include a family style all you can eat buffet with hot entrees during the week to include Eggs, French toast, Omelets and blueberry pancakes with fresh fruit and or cold cereal daily complete with coffee, hot cocoa or juice.  We usually leave the lodge between 8:15-8:30 and on our way to a full day of waterfowl and or wing shooting. All of the peak waterfowl hunting takes place during a 5-hour period during high tide, as this is when the birds move daily from the lagoon to the fresh water drinking ponds and berry fields. The rest of the day we can hunt ptarmigan or go fishing on the local streams. Daily lunches are packed at the lodge and we usually eat out streamside or in the blinds. We will head back to the lodge around 6pm and get cleaned up and ready for dinner as the guides clean and process your days trophies. Dinner is served around 7pm unless we hunt late due to the tides or weather. These consist of main entrees of fresh Grilled Salmon or Halibut steaks, Seafood fettuccini, lemon-peppered chicken, Veal Parmesan, Roasted Pork and Grilled Sirloin Steaks smothered in mushrooms and onions. Each dinner is complimented with a desert and Beverage of choice to include Coffee, Juice, Water or Tea, as alcoholic beverages are BYO due to liquor licensing rules. After dinner you can relax with a cocktail or get your gear ready for another unbelievable day of Shooting or fishing whatever is your choice as this trip is all-inclusive with unlimited Waterfowl hunting, Ptarmigan hunting and Fishing for Silver Salmon and Arctic Char. The following Sunday morning will conclude your trip with a thank you from all of the staff and the gratuities being paid directly to the head guide Rafi of 10% this will be split evenly between the guide staff. The guides will prepare your trophies for the trip home and pack them in fish boxes, or coolers that you brought from home. Then we will take your luggage to the airport to get it checked in for the Flight back to Anchorage or King Salmon that will leave around 1-2pm. Each guest is responsible for all flights from there home to Cold Bay.

 Due to the remote nature of these trips weather delays and cancelled flights occasionally occur it is our policy to take care of all of our guest’s till they leave Cold bay, But we can not be held responsible for any added expenses or missed flights before or after you leave our lodge. In short do not make any important appointments or plan any surgeries Monday morning at home.
