jstpshe Posted March 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Which would you book the Taku Lodge feast and flight or the Pilots choice and why? Landing on the glacier would be nice but I also heard that the feast and trip to the lodge is too. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droste Posted March 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I haven't been on the Pilot's choice tour (plan to do something like it this year!), but the Taku Lodge tour is marvelous! The flight out is beautiful and the lodge setting is amazing. The food is great and you've got extra time there to go on the small hike out to the waterfall (on your own or as part of a guided tour).

Budget Queen Posted March 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have done both, and for the flightseeing, a glacier helicopter landing always gets my vote. :) Food isn't a priority for me, and there are some excellent resturants that I prefer, so if it's the food option of most interest for you, then pick Taku Lodge.

ellbon Posted March 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2008 since it my first trip to Alaska I did mendalhal etc but my next cruise will be the lodge. I love flying and seeing the glacier but i really want to enjoy the feast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's available elsewhere too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droste Posted March 11, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2008 On our first Alaska cruise, we went to a Salmon Bake - not sure if they do it anymore, but the food there was even better than Taku Lodge. That was some time ago though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
