Alaska Duck Hunting | Wild Strawberry Lodge

At Wild Strawberry Lodge, our guided sea duck hunting trips in Sitka, Alaska offer one of the most unique waterfowl hunting experiences in North America. Hunting the rugged saltwater coastlines and rocky shorelines of Southeast Alaska, hunters have the opportunity to target species like harlequin ducks, long-tailed ducks, scoters, goldeneyes, and bufflehead in an incredibly scenic and remote environment. Our hunts take place along natural travel corridors where sea ducks raft together, move with the tide, and sweep low across the kelp-lined shoreline of the Pacific Ocean.

Beyond the hunt itself, sea duck hunting in Sitka is about experiencing Alaska’s wild coastal beauty firsthand, from snowcapped mountains and quiet coves to sunrises over the saltwater. Whether you are an experienced waterfowler or planning your first Alaska duck hunting trip, these fast-paced hunts combine incredible scenery, exciting shooting opportunities, and an unforgettable Southeast Alaska outdoor experience.

Alaska Duck Hunting Opportunities

At Wild Strawberry Lodge, we offer both comfortable lodge-based hunts and fully outfitted boat-based adventures, allowing you to tailor your trip to your style and pace. Our partnership with Tongass National Forest for waterfowl permitting gives us incredible range across Southeast Alaska, allowing us to follow the migration and position our hunters where the birds want to be. Sitka remains one of the last places in the United States where non-resident hunters can legally harvest harlequin ducks, making this a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our primary targets include bufflehead, harlequin, Barrow’s goldeneye, long-tailed duck, mergansers, common scoter, and white-winged scoter, with opportunities for mallards, teal, and geese as they present themselves. Whether you’re introducing the next generation to the outdoors or fulfilling a lifelong waterfowl dream of your own, sea duck hunting here delivers adventure, beauty, and memories that simply can’t be replicated anywhere else.

“One of the best trips you will ever experience! We enjoyed the food, hunting, fishing, and company all while getting to disconnect and recharge from the fast paced world of the lower 48. Wild Strawberry Lodge is very accommodating and make it their goal to ensure your success and enjoyment, 100% will be back, 100% recommend!”

 Verified The BEST it does not get any better than the Wild Strawberry Lodge, hands down
Wow, this was my 1st trip to Alaska and my 1st visit to the WSL and I am a huge fan. I can't wait to go back and have not stopped talking about my trip. I caught my 1st Halibut, ton's of Salmon and cool Rockfish. The scenery is breathtaking Alaska and Sitka are so wonderful. 5 Star's for ALL the staff, we had the best Captain and Mate I have never seen crew work so hard to make sure you had a blast. The Lodge staff again, 5 Star's, amazing food, great rooms and awesome company. Stress free, they pack, freeze and seal all your fish ready at the airport when you leave. I am already planning my next trip, see you soon WSL crew I am packing already. Misty

As a first time Alaska angler and a solo woman travel I had called several fishing lodges before picking wild strawberry lodge. It was an incredible experience. In a sport mostly run by men it was very intimidating but the crew made me feel very comfortable. Everyone was very nice and patient. The rooms were comfortable. If you’re coming be prepared for a trip of a life time. Will be going again soon.

 Verified Saltwater Fishing Mecca-Sitka
My 3rd time visiting the Wild Strawberry Lodge in Sitka this past September. First time fishing with Captain Chad and deckhand Ben on the vessel Bankroll. Safety was priority 1 for Captain Chad. We faced some challenging fishing conditions due to weather, but at no time did it feel unsafe. Since there were only 2 of us in our group, but room for 6 on the boat, we fished with other groups each day on our 3 day package. Vessel was in top shape and very neat & tidy. Fishing equipment is some of the best I’ve used anywhere in Alaska. Captain Chad made incredible made to order sandwiches for lunch daily while on the boat. Theresa and her staff took care of everything at the lodge. If you want to explore Sitka or the surrounding area the lodge has vans to take you there and back. Our trip was much too short. Food was great, both on and off the water. Accommodations were very clean and comfortable in a relaxed atmosphere. Service was exceptional! Can’t wait to return.

 Verified AMAZING!
I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to join my friends who have been coming here for the past 12 years, because I mean, lets be honest, its not a cheap trip! HOWEVER, it was SO WORTH IT! The Wild Strawberry Lodge and its staff are AMAZING! They absolutely take care of you from the moment you land till the moment you get back on the plane. The food was amazing, shuttle service to wherever you need to go, and they keep the place immaculately clean! The rooms are simple, but comfortable with comfortable beds and all the amenities you would need. The boat captains and deck hands go above and beyond to see to it that you have a great time. In the end, they clean, label, vacume seal your fish and box it up AND take care of the check in process when you are ready to depart. Sitka itself is beautiful with eagle sightings multiple times per day. We are already booking for next year!

 Verified Fishing Excellence
Best trip to AK, everything was covered with meeting at airport, excellent staff great fishing and excellent accommodation. The organization of the lodge is by far the best I have encountered all of the world. From catering to all requests, to the food the atmosphere to the best captain and crew you could ask for. This place is in a great location walking distance to boat and shops and shuttle to and from lodge with your catch boxed and checked in for you at the airport. Phill AZ & NZ

 Verified GREAT Customer service, amazing food, and awesome fishing!
Always a stellar experience where the customer service is the only thing better than the fishing. I really enjoy the delicious dinners of panko ling cod, prime rib, clam chowder, etc. I can’t wait to come back!

 Verified Will go again!
An amazing family owned and operating lodge and fishing adventures. The food is amazing, the staff is warm and friendly. I didn’t fish and felt just as welcomed and cared for as those who fished. This was my first time, my husbands been 4 times. They take care of all the details…fishing gear provided, process and freeze fish for transporting home. Our last dinner we were given their cookbook. Just tonight I made the tuna zucchini cakes. Yummy!
