At Bountiful Alaska we combine the rigors of wilderness adventure with the relaxed atmosphere of a comfortable lodge and professionally appointed kitchen, to produce the quintessential seafood cuisine. Our daily harvest features ingredients pulled dripping-fresh from the sea, which are then handled with the utmost care, and artfully prepared for your dining pleasure. And you're invited to participate in every phase of the preparation. Whether you're eager to learn new things or enjoy teaching others a culinary trick or two, you're sure to find your place here. Given the abundance of different activities afforded by the rich coastal/mountain environs of Sitka, this trip can be molded to suit your desires.
Bountiful Alaska subscribes to the notion of getting dirty. Ample opportunities await: you may choose to don rubber boots and rain gear to dig for clams, or bait pots for crab and shrimp, or scramble through the undergrowth of a towering rainforest collecting mushrooms, or scavenge for rare Japanese glass floats on a deserted beach. On the other hand, you may opt for a more refined activity, such as one of our specially arranged tours showcasing the historical impact of both the native Tlingit and Russian cultures, or wildlife viewing, featuring up-close and personal contact with birds of prey at the Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center. And, of course, we cannot help but highlight Sitka's world-renowned whale watching.
As the culminating activity, Bountiful Alaska focuses on the evening meal—an event in which everyone plays a part. We spend our evenings turning the day's harvest into the freshest dishes you've ever experienced. Once dinner has been prepared, you become our exclusive guests and totally relax as our staff serves you the meal you helped prepare. Many of our guests [including notable vinters] bring select cellar wines to complement dinner and, of course, reserve-quality house wines are always available.
Bountiful Alaska's unique service offers small groups the setting for unforgettable times, exceptional food, high spirits, and no stress. In short, "the good life". Though such an abundance of fresh-from-the-sea ingredients exist in an island realm hundreds of miles north, it's closer than you think. This extraordinary gourmet-centric experience is easily accessible via a two-and-a-half hour flight from Seattle. We offer all-inclusive packages where you choose the activities, plan the menus, partake in the kitchen craft, and enjoy attentive service and warm hospitality in a scenic Alaskan setting.
