If
you are planning on arriving via commercial airlines,
Alaska Airlines is the only method
of air transportation to and from Ketchikan, Alaska. A short 1 hour and 40
minute flight from Seattle, Washington. Your party will be greeted at the
Ketchikan International Airport upon arrival and transported the the lodge
and shown to your rooms. We will give you a brief introduction of the
facility and hope you immediately make yourselves at home. If a vehicle is
available you may want to do some sight seeing on your own. Ketchikan has
a lot to offer the first time visitor.We appreciate everyone in your party arriving and departing flight as the airport is located on another island and we are limited to ferry access to and from. We recommend arrival in the mid-afternoon (4:10 p.m.) and departure in the morning (7:40 a.m.)
Beacon Hill Lodgeis conveniently located on the island named “Revillagigedo”.
We islanders call it “Revella” for short. 15 miles north of the city of
Ketchikan Alaska. The 4th largest city in the state. We are the Salmon
Capitol of the world! The waterfront docks are lined with shops, many of the same can be found in any port on the Caribbean. Horse drawn trolleys are a unique method of transportation around the city, offering tours of the Salmon Hatchery, Native Villages & Totem Pole Parks.
For the adventurous souls among you,
the waterfront is lined with several Air Taxi Services, offering many
exciting tours. |
