Thumb Cove is one of our most popular destinations. It’s a calm, serene, pristine emerald green cove protected from the wind where you can see three breathtaking Alpine glaciers up in the mountains.
It has everything: Salmon streams for excellent viewing and fishing, State Park cabin rentals, lots of wildlife — whales, sea otters, tons of eagles near the salmon streams. The occasional bear sighting, an excellent kayaking area and good berry picking — blueberries and salmonberries… mmmm. Swimming, believe it or not, on hot summer days has been done here! Fantastic tent camping, lots of hiking trails, black bear hunting in the fall, what else could you ask for?
To book a water taxi trip, just use our calendar to see the water taxi times and consult the rates table for cost. We will give you a total in the confirmation email… or email or phone us for questions you might have; we’ll be happy to respond.
Our water taxi leaves Miller’s Landing every two hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Please note: Miller’s Landing encourages only guaranteed prepaid reservations. Unlike many other states, Alaska has a very short tourist season, which can make it difficult for us to rebook when we have cancellations without ample notice.
If you are booking a charter and lodging and your charter, water taxi, or kayaking is canceled due to weather, you are still responsible for the lodging or camping reservations and the normal cancellation policy applies. All of our activities are possible during rain, so rain does not constitute a cancellation. Miller’s Landing is not responsible for vehicle break downs, personal emergencies, flight delays, health issues or other unforeseen hardships. We will try very hard to work with you, but the cancellation policy will need to be applied if we cannot issue a raincheck or find an alternative solution that appeals to both parties.
Please understand that Miller’s Landing also incurs a hefty financial merchant fee from our bank for the cost of charging your credit card and again for the cost of refunding it, and there is also a cost involved for the time involved in processing and refunding your reservation in employee costs. Our goal when taking your reservation is to have a solid, guaranteed prepaid reservation. We strongly discourage the practice of making reservations without having an airline ticket or making tentative reservations. Thank you for your understanding.
