Experience Alaska Tours

Come work for the Premier Alaskan Dining and Crabbing Adventure at the Historic George Inlet Lodge

James Michener wrote of George Inlet in his novel, Alaska. A converted cannery bunkhouse, it made a momentous 5 year journey by ocean barge from its original location near Hyder, Alaska. It finally came to rest on the shores of this pristine inlet where is has served fishermen and travelers for decades. It is rich with history, artifacts and an inviting ambiance. For many, this is the pure definition of paradise.
