    Winter Kayak Trip
    Ron & Abby were amazing. They were extremely knowledgeable about Resurrection Bay. Despite it being winter, we stayed warm and toasty on our kayaks with the help of our dry suits they provided on the tour. They provided a nice meal and hot coco as well. Ron and Abby went at a great pace and I definitely feel like I could bring my daughter on this trip next time and it not be too far out of her ability range. We took lots of pictures and they got some great shots of us too! While on the trip we saw sea stars, otters, lots of birds and a harbor seal. This isn’t the first trip I’ve taken with Miller’s landing and it definitely won’t be the last.

    Winter Kayaking on Resurrection Bay
    This was an amazing winter adventure. The weather lined up nicely for us and we had very little wind and flurries if snow throughout the day. Temps were low, but with guidance and gear it was not an issue. Abby was an excellent guide with a wealth of information on the birds and nature we were seeing. The tide was also aligned such that we were able to explore a creek as well. Lunch was provided and the soup and air fried burritos hit the spot!

    Awesome winter sea kayak adventure
    We did the winter sea kayak trip and we were inspired, Ron (our guide) was knowledgeable, fun, and safety minded! We were able to see sea otters and seals up close. Multiple bald eagles graced our trip with long visits. The snow was soft and covered us and the kayaks throughout the day , but we were warm and dry thanks to all the gear we were able to use. Equipment and gear were in excellent condition. Lunch was a treat and the “back country mochas” were unexpected and delicious! We will definitely be back!

    Uncle Steve’s Cabin
    Absolutely gorgeous view out of Uncle Steve’s Cabin and a great space for my husband, my parents, and I. Bed was comfy and the entire cabin stayed warm even in late March. My largest complaint was with the cleanliness of the kitchen. In all honesty it was pretty gross. Firstly, it smelt like it was cleaned with a dirty sponge. The oven had a layer of burnt grime on the bottom that was so thick we didn’t even end up using it because we were worried it would start a fire. We had to take lime rinds out of the disposable that were left behind from previous guests. One of the knives we took from the drawer had such a thick layer of grime that it looked like it wasn’t washed for months. It was frustrating especially because we paid a $60 cleaning fee but we had to scrub everything before we used it. I’m hoping they do a deep clean before season because if I were paying the season price of $425 a night instead of the off season price of $150 a night I would be a lot more upset.

    A must do -- and don't forget to ask for Ron!
    We took the winter kayaking sesh with Ron Marsh, and he was absolutely the best guide ever! His humor, fun-loving spirit, and his extensive knowledge of the Alaska fjord, the wildlife, and his navigational prowess left us with a very memorable experience with 1) being snuck up on by a harem of sea lions so loud we thought we were being trailed by a whale (!!) and 2) being SO close to the sea otters as they couch-potatoed their ways along the surf and rolled around, as just a few. We learned so much, and saw so many critters up close that this trip goes down in our memory banks for a long time. :)

    Absolutely Perfect.
    This was my first ever trip to Alaska and the staff at Millers Landing made it a memorable one. Myself and 7 other Veterans came here for 2 days of fishing with some other friends as part of a Veteran Non-profit group from The Fallen Outdoors. The lodging had amazing views and had all of the amenities that we could ask for. The fishing was amazing. The Boat Captains & deck hands took care of everything and ensured that we were catching fish throughout the trip. The Café had hot coffee, local beer, and food all readily available. The entire staff was amazing and I am already trying to plan another trip. This place is absolutely amazing.

    Great kayak experience
    We were a part of a very large group (~30-35 people) who were doing an outing after a wedding in the area. Miller's Landing did an amazing job of coordinating and transporting the whole group and kayaks to a cove about 30-40 minutes away (in additional to a ton of pre-work and planning for a group our size). Our guides: Ron, Rylee, Elora, Mary, Mitch, and Jaxson did a great job guiding us and keeping our group together. Highly recommend Miller's Landing!

    Amazing Northwestern Fjords Kayaking
    We had the most amazing experience kayaking the Northwestern Fjord. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and our guide Mitch was informative about the different glaciers and animals. While we were in a group tour setting, the trip itself was very intimate due to the fact that we were the only people around. It truly felt like we were getting the best experience possible in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Definitely the best way to see Northwestern.

    Alaska fishing!!!! Amazing #bucketlist
    We stayed on night in a Yurt before we headed out for fishing the next day. 1- we loved our night in the Yurt it was so much fun. 2- we did the all day fishing trip on The Fat Willie with Captain Paul and Clay. The day started off a little slow with the catching of fish but still had amazing views. By the end of the day we caught our max in Halibut and Rock Fish and topped ode day by seeing Orcas!!!! I would definitely recommend booking your fishing trip thru millers landing

We signed up for the half day charter in early September. Our charter was scheduled to go at noon and we were instructed to arrive by 11:30 and we did so. After checking in by 11:30 we waited till 1:15 before having anyone in Millers Landing update us on the delay or say anything at all. Once out on the water finally by 1:30, the captain was very nice and was the lone bright spot of the experience. The fishing on the other hand was awful. We had a full charter and all six of us caught zero fish and had zero bites even. We tried a few different spots by that was the only change they ever made to attempt to change our luck. The delayed take off ended up causing us to get poured on for the last hour as well which was unfortunate because the morning had been great till that point. All in all fishing for 4+ hours on a professional charter and not getting a single bite seems pretty bad especially for the price you pay. We read all the good reviews and thats why we booked here so I wanted to make It know that our outing was quite the opposite, even if our experience might be an outlier. Also wear rubber boots as your feet will get soaked.

Kudos to Clay our deckhand on the Tomasea. He was supportive kind helpful and the best part of our experience. I have worked years in the tour and travelindustry and been on many charters out ofHomerand Seward before and I’ve never had a captain be
such a jerk to his staff or clientele. The deckhand was yelled at and made fun of while doing his best to help us all fish while the captain was yelling and on his phone. We never anchored and drifted all day fishing which caused for multiple tangled lines and he would then yell at us saying that we’re not watching our pole tips or it too late in the day for us to tangle. Or he would move the the boat after we drifted and our lines would tangle and yell at us. A person should not pay over $400 for a combo trip to be yelled at or watch a captain yell at his deckhand whose doing all he can while catching fish. It made it very uncomfortable for all of us to hear and watch happen. When multiple people are needing help a captain should not sit on his butt and yell at his deckhand who is already assisting another person. To top it off it took two hours for our fish to be cleaned , and we had to make a mad dash to the processors before they closed to get it there. Cause the captain was too busy goofing around with the other staff members on shore. This is suppose to be a professional charter, it is too early in a busy season for sarcasm and burnout from a captain and should not be dealing with the clientele. This was my friends first fishing charter ever and she was very upset about how we were treated by the captain and also how Clay was treated. Clay took all the abuse and still tried to make our trip a good one . Did we catch fish? Yes , barely! But not until 11 hrs of constant drifting and listening to the yelling. So much for a great day on the water. Would not recommend this tour to others. Captain was rude mean and we pretty much just wanted to get off the boat and away from the negativity. Hopefully Clay will continue deckhanding and get on a more professional boat with someone to work with and not yelled at. Good luck Clay!

Kayaking: Nate was our guide for the kayaking trip and he was amazing. He accommodating to our vegan diet and we appreciated everything he did for us. The kayaking was relatively easy, but we're experienced outdoors-people so unless you have actual kayaking experience and/or really athletic - do not attempt to kayak 14 miles because it makes things unmanageable for the guide. Try a shorter trip or a boat tour. But if you love kayaking and want to see some amazing scenery, please do sign up and ask for Nate. You won't regret it.

Phone/Support: World class. Always helpful, solution-oriented, and very patient.

Cabin: We rented a cabin, Misty C cabin. Everything you need is in there, working WiFi, stove, oven, plates, cups, pots/pans, and laundry. The cabin was clean, functional, and provided us a nice place to sleep, eat, and check emails. Bring cash for the laundry, it's on the honor system, just drop $5 in the jar.

WaterTaxi: We "did" Caines Head hike and needed a water taxi back to our car. Deb picked us up promptly and got us back in time for our other planned activities.

Conclusion: Get a Cabin at Misty C Cabins, do a kayaking trip with Nate, hike Caines Head and hope Deb picks you up.

Other tips: If you want to take your time with things, try Aialik Glacier kayaking instead of NW. It's closer so you'll have more time at the glacier.

This is our third trip using miller's landing. The first 2 times we were part of a mixed fishing group. This time we had enough family to charter both a half day and a full day trip. This isn't glamping or glishing. The guides are very helpful to take you to the fish, bait your hook and haul in your catch after you reel your fish to the surface When you heed their advice, you get good results. It helps to have some saltwater fishing experience, but it isn't necessary. You get wet. You get cold. Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate. They worked with us to get us out on the water ahead of a storm and were very fair to refund a portion since we couldn't go out the whole day on the second day. We limited out on rockfish in 40 minutes. We caught halibut and salmon, and took 150 lb of fish filets to the packer. The staff has always been outgoing and friendly. We will be back soon.

We were originally scheduled on a Northwestern Fjord Overnight Trip. Due to weather and boat troubles, we had to pivot to a day trip to Aialik Glacier. I was impressed with Miller's Landings' professionalism in changing the plans, not only ensuring we were refunded fairly but also making sure we had free accommodations for the now unplanned extra night.

We had Ron as our guide, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He kept our spirits up, was knowledgeable, and all around was the cherry on top of an amazing trip. There were many great moments: the glacier, kayaking through small ice pieces, seeing wildlife. Even though it was rainy, we all agreed this trip was one of our highlights in our Alaska trip, and to be honest, we simply had a blast with Ron and the other members on the trip.

While I am bummed we were unable to do our original itinerary, I appreciate the efforts that Miller's Landing and Ron especially took to make sure we still had a fantastic trip. I feel that, more than anything, shows the quality of a company!

We scheduled the 15 hour captain's choice a few months out, and excitedly watched as the weather report went from 68% chance of rain down to 21% on the day of the kayaking trip. Our guide, Ron, was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew the best places for waterfalls and animal viewing (land and sea). We saw black bears, sea otters, seals, porpoises, whales, and sea lions (and lots of mosquitos!). We even had a baby seal hanging out around the kayaks, circling and popping up near us.
As it was such a long day, and a bit on the cool side, Ron packed lots of snacks and some hot drinks to have with lunch by the glacier. We were able to watch Holgate Glacier calving - pretty neat!
We were concerned about kayaking for such an extended period of time, but Ron made sure we kept a steady pace, taking breaks when needed. He did a great job of encouraging and motivating us when the sea got a little rough and the mist came in. We would highly recommend this tour, and make sure to ask for Ron!

My friend and I stayed in Uncle Steve’s Cabin. The owner, Tom, and his team were SO friendly, accommodating, and genuinely good at their job. It was a very cold night (February in Alaska tends to be) and Tom ensured that we were taken care of. The cabin itself was honestly the best I’ve been to in Alaska. It’s newly built and has full amenities (full bathroom, full kitchen, heating, etc). It may not be the woodsy cabin/camping people expect because it offers so much. I loved the glamping style! The cabin is rustic chic and has floor to ceiling windows so you still feel you’re outside. There’s a porch area and you can walk to the beach, it’s a beautiful spot for a camp fire. This cabin could easily fit 2 families, 8 people, etc, there was plenty of room. The cabin has simple details that made the stay so homey. I found myself thinking “wow I could stay here for a month!” (if only there was the availability!) We also asked about recommendations because with Covid and the weather, it was hard to know what was open. Tom suggested the Lone Chicharron for dinner and it was delicious! Bonus for us, but not a guarantee for every stay, we got to watch the Northern Lights dance and an incredible sunrise the next morning. I cannot recommend the cabin and this team enough!

This is a review for the Captain’s Choice full day kayaking trip. On this particular trip we went to Aialik Bay and it was unbelievable. Fred and Ron, or “Fron” (you had to be there!) were our guides and they were fantastic. They were funny and kind and it was clear that they loved their jobs and knew what they were doing. I came out to Miller’s Landing as a part of a research for my college and the staff was super accommodating and offered great conversation concerning my topic, especially Fred and Ron. They made sure that everyone was comfortable and having fun at all times and were full of fun facts and quick jokes.

We kayaked through Ailalik Bay after a beautiful boat ride on the Water Taxi where we got to see lots of wildlife and then got set up to kayak. All the necessities for a successful trip were provided, but be sure to bring waterproof clothes and a raincoat! After a quick breakfast, we set off on our amazing trip through the fjords and ice fields in the water with breathtaking sights. We had a delicious lunch from Bario, the café on property, at the foot of Aialik Glacier and had plenty of time to explore around the beach surrounding it. Following that, we continued on our adventure to another stop where we had snacks and coffee and got to hike to see another glacier.

Overall, we got to see 3-4 glaciers and plenty of wildlife like orcas, porpoises, seals, sea lions, otters, and tons of birds. After spending 2 weeks exploring Alaska from Denali to Anchorage, this trip was the best experience I had out of everything else. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves adventure, good company, and wants to see amazing wildlife. Thanks to Fred, Ron, and Miller’s Landing for a great trip!!

Hi. I went on a fishing charter today (June 27, 2020) with a few friends. We were guided by Dustin and Jade on the Avery. This was by far the best charter I have been on. We were able to max out on rockfish in a short period of time and then worked on king salmon. We saw orcas, sea otters, puffins, and sea lions. Dustin really knew what he was doing. He was encouraging and helpful and knew the best spots to catch fish. Jade was great at helping bait lines, getting things untangled, and batting/cutting the gills of the fish. She was kind and funny. Overall, I would give this experience a 10/10 and would like to boat with Dustin and Jade again!

We went on the all day kayaking trip to Aialik Glacier. Ron and Liz were our guides and they were fantastic! They were both very personable and knowledgeable and noted points of interest as we went along. Even though the weather was not ideal (it was chilly with light rain off and on), Ron went the extra mile to make it a great experience. He even served hot coffee and hot chocolate to help warm us up at our beach stop for lunch. We highly recommend Ron and Liz and Miller's Landing.
