Tonsina Beach is a favorite for kayakers, fishermen, and hikers alike. It has a large beach for beachcombing and a salmon stream where you can easily catch pink and chum salmon during salmon season. Folks can limit out (six per person) here.
When the silvers are running, this is also an excellent spot to catch those swimming by that are attracted to the freshwater smell of the stream.
Many fishermen fly fish here as well as saltwater fish. Most people prefer to hike here, catching the water taxi back one way with their catch of salmon, as it is only a mile and a half hike from Miller’s Landing.
To book a water taxi trip to Tonsina Beach, just use our calendar for taxi times and prices. Still need some information on our Miller’s Landing water taxi services? Give us a call or email us and we’re 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.
