We had a Fantastic boat ride to this secluded island paradise. The staff fish guides and the owners were all down to earth ,friendly people. The accommodation were clean and cozy, with amazing meals and beautiful scenery, I couldn't ask for more.
I haven't even been there yet but I know...... Are there 10 star reviews? What can be more fun than catching deep and oh so huge, salty salmon on the fly? This place is world class and I look forward to seeing you in August! Regards! Linden Ritchie
What a stunning place!! Pristine, beautiful and so much wilderness at your finger tips. Great rooms, spectacular views and ambiance!! Oh and the food….amazing.
Sam works very hard to make sure every guest has a good time. His crew does too! He and Igor always went the extra mile (literally) as we cruised up the inlets enjoying the beaty and splendor he gets to call home. He shares it well and has tremendous knowledge about the area and wildlife. Never rushed when taking photos and the boats are comfortable and capable. The tide changes are beyond impressive, and the wildlife responds. We had a Great-Fantastic-Excellent time at Nanook!
Awesome experience! This was nature at its finest, and I can’t say enough good things about Sam and his crew. Their hospitality went above and beyond what I’ve ever experienced anywhere else! Looking forward to the next trip back to Paradise!
Nanook Lodge exceeded expectations. From the second we landed, everything was taken care of and whole experience was fun, stress free, and enjoyable. Sam and Larry understand customer experience and were excellent hosts.
Sam and his entire crew were incredible on our business trip. Had one of the best times of my life and would totally go back and do it again.
