Family Fishing and Scenic Adventure in Valdez
Hofstad Fishing Co. is proud to offer a family-oriented excursion in Valdez, Alaska, designed for guests who want to experience the best of Alaska without committing to a full day of hard-core offshore fishing. This trip is ideal for families with children, couples, and anyone who wants a relaxed but still exciting day on the water. It combines beautiful scenery, wildlife viewing, and a few hours of “Captain’s Choice” fishing for a true all-around Valdez experience.
Departing from the harbor at 8:00 AM and returning at 4:00 PM, this 3/4-day trip keeps travel time manageable while still giving guests a chance to see what makes Valdez so special. Depending on conditions and season, guests may enjoy time in the Valdez Arm, Port of Valdez, or nearby protected waters, where the scenery is dramatic and the fishing can be excellent. The focus is on a fun, flexible, family-friendly outing that balances adventure with comfort.
Along the way, guests can take in the rugged beauty of Prince William Sound, glacier-capped mountains, waterfalls, marine wildlife, and the incredible coastal scenery that makes Valdez one of Alaska’s most memorable destinations. Wildlife sightings can include sea lions, seals, porpoise, whales, seabirds, and other iconic Alaska species, making the trip as rewarding for sightseers as it is for anglers.
The fishing portion is designed to be approachable and enjoyable for all ages. Using lighter tackle and shorter fishing windows, this trip focuses on variety and action rather than long runs or patience-heavy target fishing. Depending on the season, anglers may target silver salmon, pink salmon, king salmon when in season, and a variety of rockfish, creating an exciting and rewarding day on the water for the whole family.
