Deposits and Payments Policy
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to confirm and hold space. We will provisionally hold space for 14 days from the date of booking until deposits are received. Thereafter, we reserve the right to cancel bookings that are not confirmed by deposit. Guests may transfer deposits or other payments to another person using the same space of the fishing week booked. A final payment of 50% is due 60 days prior to your arrival at our fishing lodge in Alaska. You can pay the full amount at once too.
All payments are refundable at any time, with 85% of the total amount refunded. The remaining 15% is deducted to cover administrative, processing, and reservation holding costs. If a client replacement is found, we may be able to refund a higher percentage.
Gear
We welcome you to bring your own personal fishing gear. However, we do have quality rods, reels, flies, waders and boots available on site at no additional cost to you. All you really need to bring is a good rain jacket and clothes for the week.
Beverages
We provide a full selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at the lodge, ensuring a premium experience for our guests. All beverages are included in the total cost you paid, so you can relax and enjoy your stay without any additional concerns. While Iliamna is a “Dry” village, we take care of all necessary arrangements to ensure your preferred drinks are available upon arrival.
