Driftwood Wilderness Lodge Customer Reviews

If you want a laidback, rustic, fun fishing (or hunting!) experience, Driftwood Wilderness is the best! Food is hearty and delicious, rooms are comfortable and the location is spot on perfect! Nick is a great guide and knows what you need to get on fish. Bear slays it in the kitc...

Avery- I would like to thank Captain Nick for a wonderful and rewarding experience at Driftwood lodge. We (4 guys) whom had never been to Alaska before were shown a great time fishing. We caught our limit of halibut, salmon, and rock fish. I had told Captain Nick we were on a fre...

Captain Nick will put you on the fish!! This was a bucket list item for my dad and it did not disappoint. Captain Nick showed great patience with our ignorance to what we were doing even though we did our best to test it. We hauled in our limit on halibut every day and salmon thr...

Awesome place. Spent 2 nights at this place and enjoyed his hospitality.

Nick was phenomenal with putting us on fish, even when the days we couldn’t fish halibut. I think most days we averaged about 200 lbs of live fish. Loved helping on the boat. We caught salmon, halibut, ling, pacific cod and rock fish. Nick also introduced us to Tanner crab, some ...

Had a great time! If you want to catch fish, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and be away from the crowds, this is the place to be. Nick is one of the finest lodge owners/captains/guides with whom I've ever had the pleasure of fishing. (And I've been to many lodges in Alaska). I als...

Nick is a master of his craft. Caught a day’s worth of fish in about three hours and learned a ton in the process. This was my first time fishing in Alaska, and I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Would definitely recommend!

Nick runs a small operation but this doesn’t mean you won’t be treated great. Nick is a local and knows the water well. He puts you on the fish - whichever you tell him you’d like to catch. It’s virtually non stop action until you say let’s do something else (or you limit out). D...

Me and four buddies spent eight days and eight nights with Nick fishing and hunting, what an amazing time!!! I am already booked to go back and I'm bringing my wife with me! We slammed the fish every single day and got a buck, you can't ask for more than that!! We got to drop cra...

Greatest fishing trip ever....Caught multiple species every day..Brought home Two boxes of fillets and the crab pots kept us eating fresh boiled crabs every night....Nick worked his tail off every day...Will be going back next year.....

I have fished with others in Larsen Bay but this was absolutley the best experience ever. Do you want a guide that will push himself to get you on big fish? Do you want to fish for a variety of fish, places, and fill your freezer? Do you want to get to places other guides sa...

If your looking for a awesome adventure on a budget this is the place to go.

My husband(who doesn’t have FB) gives Nick and the whole experience an A+++++ Great accommodation, food, hospitality , fishing opportunities and very fun and skilled individual! Their whole group cannot wait to go back again!

Nick was an awesome guide and had us on fish early and often all 4 days we stayed there. The food was excellent as was the hospitality. We ended up coming home with a lot of amazing fish and memories to accompany our catch and our time there. We had a group of 6 and were accommod...

Nick Blanco runs a great camp. Thank you Nick for tagging along on my hunt, running the boat and cooking some awesome blueberry pancakes. I couldn’t have done that hunt without you. Thanks for the friendship. Can’t wait to get back over.
