With a plethora of wildlife, back-dropped by striking glaciers and dramatic fjords, it is every nature lover’s paradise. Give Valdez Outfitters a call and we can help you safely explore our beautiful backyard. We know the top spots and the best times of year to enjoy what The Sound has to offer.
We offer a wide variety of services to suit your exploration needs! If fishing is what you’re after, we offer Valdez Alaska Salmon Fishing Charters. The salmon fishing is hot and heavy for pink and silver salmon, and don’t forget to buy your derby ticket! If you’re coming to enjoy the sights, maybe sign up for an Alaska Photography Workshop, or join us on an intimate Valdez Alaska Sightseeing Tour. Our group sizes are small so you will get the individual attention you deserve, and we can get much closer to the wildlife!

Valdez Silver Salmon Fishing
Valdez and Prince William Sound boasts one of the strongest Silver Salmon runs in the state. Salmon fishing in Valdez Alaska during the end of July and the start of August is unbeatable! Saltwater charters for Silvers consistently produce limits of dime bright ocean-fresh fish that are hard to beat by any standards. This is a great family friendly trip in an amazing setting of the rugged glacier capped Chugach Mountains as the background. Most of the salmon fishing in Valdez Alaska is done in protected bays and makes for very calm seas and a great fishing experience.
