Lost in Alaska Adventures operates from Juneau, Alaska, offering guided fishing and whale-watching trips aboard the 30' North River boat called "The Wolf Eel." Captain Kevin Burchfield leads each outing, providing licensed, hands-on guidance for anglers and wildlife watchers.
Trips range from 2.5-hour to full-day adventures, including dedicated whale-watching cruises and multiple salmon and halibut fishing options. Fishing experiences include half-day (4-hour), three-quarter-day (6-hour), and full-day (8-hour) salmon trips, standalone halibut trips, and combined salmon-and-halibut options. Half Day Salmon and Half Day Halibut run approximately four hours; 3/4 Day Salmon and 3/4 Day Salmon and Halibut Combo are roughly six hours; Full Day Salmon and full-day combos are approximately eight hours. All fishing trips provide rods, tackle, bait, and safety equipment, and halibut trips include the required federal halibut permit when specified.
Whale-watching excursions are offered in intimate, private-boat formats with a maximum of six passengers, available as 2.5-hour or 4-hour tours for personalized wildlife viewing. The operation emphasizes safety, comfort, and local knowledge. Boats are fully equipped for Alaskan conditions, and gear and provisions such as snacks or lunch are provided on longer trips. Lost in Alaska Adventures caters to families, friends, and small groups seeking authentic marine wildlife viewing and fishing, with options tailored to varying timeframes and goals. Reservations and trip-specific availability are managed per season and departure.
