Planning a vacation can be an exciting and challenging time. What to
bring? How to travel? What's the best time to travel?
All these questions need to be answered to properly prepare for any trip,
and vacationing to Tanaku Lodge is no exception.
We've prepared this section of our web site to aid our clients in their vacation planning process
Our Weather
Summers are mild, with temperatures between 50 and 65 F. Expect a mixture
of sun and occasional rain. The weather is variable and any month can
produce a string of sunny days, so make sure you bring layers of clothing
to 'dress up or down' depending on the current weather conditions.
How to Pack
Fifty (50) pounds of luggage is the maximum per person the float planes
will allow without incurring additional charges. We suggest packing your
gear in duffle bags for easy storage and handling.
How to Travel
The only airline servicing Juneau Alaska is Alaska Airlines with
connections made through Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport. We've provided links
(on your left) to various airline websites to aid you in determining
which airline is most appropriate for making your journey to Seattle.
We suggest you contact your travel consultant for best rates and connections
to Juneau.
We will arrange your float plane reservation for the trip from Juneau
to the lodge.
Since our trips start first thing on Saturday, we suggest our guests
spend Friday night in Juneau, Alaska's Capital City. Visit our 'Hotel/Motel'
section via the link (on your left) for our short list.
Our trips typically start early on Saturday and our guests
depart at 10:00am on Thursday.
The flight from Juneau Alaska to Elfin Cove is an exciting and scenic
adventure! You'll enjoy viewing humpback whales, mountain goats, rugged
terrain, unspoiled snowcapped mountains and glaciers and numerous islands
while you fly to our tiny Alaska village. Enjoy the flight!
