Each of these guys were professional, courteous, and friendly--they went above and beyond to ensure we had the "opportunity and position" to catch some giant halibuts. While the waters were choppy and the big ones weren't biting--Cooper repositioned us and boom! We were landing some 30 to 45 lbs fish. Totally worth the trip. Additionally, as a dad, I loved watching my son (Chase) work as a deckhand. At 23, he's spent 6-years in Alaska fishing--his hustle, fishing skills, and interactions with the other four guest provided once in a lifetime "proud dad" moments I'll always remember. Thanks Jimmy Jack for the superb fishing trip and for growing my son into a phenomenal man. And Capt Cooper thank you for being a great example of professionalism to Chase. Huge and Happy Heart from this old man!! Much love-- Chip Chadick

I would definitely use their service if I come back to the Kenai river.

We searched high and low for different charters, and finally, we came across Long Live the Kings. I cannot tell you how extremely satisfied we were with our trip.

We were a rowdy bunch, and he still managed to put up with us really well! I would highly recommend Long Live the Kings fishing charter for any of your fishing needs. I know our friends ended up using them again when their parents visited them.

Best guides, closest to the best fishing, great support staff!…read more Having lived near the Kenai River for over 30 years and still avidly fish the river, I know these folks are top notch guides. One of the best things about HiLo is their location. They are located on Beaver Hole on the lower river. A lot of the other lodges on the river either are located much further upriver or meet you somewhere on the lower river. With Hi-Lo, you step off their dock and 10 yards aways is one of the very best fishing spots on the lower Kenai River. If you want to catch fish that are blushed or turning red, then fish upstream. If you want to have the first crack at the first fish coming out of the Ocean and into the river silver bright and in mint shape, then you have to fish with Hi-Lo if you don't want to wait at some launch in the dark hoping the guides show up or start an hour earlier in the morning at 5am so the guide has time to run downriver through a hundred boats in the dark. Eat breakfast, step on the boat, and literally one minute later you are fishing in a premium spot. I have my own boat and base out of a launch several docks from them and ALWAYS use their services to help book my friends trip not only for salmon but halibut charters and any other activities. I fish side by side with their boats often and I ALWAYS get out fished. Very knowledgeable folks. When ever we fish late or we catch too many fish (haha, yes it happens!) I can rely on Melissa and their crew to get my fish processed for my guests. Always comes out perfectly Having fished the Kenai river since 1971, there are only several outfits I can personally give my stamp of approval to and Hi-Lo is one of them!

Dan and I fell in love with Alaska back in 2016 when we went on our first Alaskan cruise. The…read morefollowing year, we did a cruise tour and realized that Alaska has more to offer than just the cruise. So, we always discussed since then to plan an Alaskan vacation that was more land than a cruise. However, the pandemic happened and our vacation plans were on the shelf until this year. We are not avid fishermen. I haven't touched a pole since I was a child but we decided to book a 5 day fishing package with Kenai Riverbend Resort that's located in Soldotna, Alaska. Once I booked with them and they received our payment, they emailed our confirmation as well as travel information, packing instructions and obtaining fishing licenses. Best.DECISION.ever We flew into Anchorage and decided to rent a car to take the scenic drive to Soldotna (roughly 3 hours). The resort is located by the Kenai River and it has been in business for 40+ years by the Cho family. The history of how this business came into fruition is amazing and every American dream for anyone who comes to America. They have a lot of returning visitors. One man shared he's been vacationing at Kenai Riverbend Resort for 20+ years! Talk about great customer service when you hear stories like this. At the resort, you can either rent an RV space, lodge (2 or less) or cabin (4 or more). If you don't have fishing gear, they have the necessary gear to make your fishing excursions successful. Their guides are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and have been with the company for years. Dan and I were upgraded to a cabin next to the river and it was just beautiful. This is glamping at its finest. The cabin had a fridge, microwave, sink, cookware, dishes, hot plate and a gas grill. Dan and I agreed that next time we are here, we are buying a week's worth of groceries instead of dining out. We had 2 halibut fishing excursions at Cook Inlet and Homer as well as 2 silver salmon excursions on the river. Dan and I came prepared with our seabands and motion sickness medication. Our first day on halibut fishing, the guides (Christian and Mason) were super helpful and the remaining group were fun (I was the only female and they all cheered when I got the first catch of the day!). We forgoed the second day of halibut fishing to rest and explore instead. Our third day was an afternoon of silver salmon fishing on the river. While the current flowed fast, the river was smooth. Our guide, Jeremy was helpful and fun as well while we fished. Our fourth day was a morning of silver salmon fishing on the river, which went by quickly because we all caught the max number of salmon (3 per person) for the day. It was cold, rainy and fun! If you're wondering about the fish we caught, the resort will clean, filet, vacuum seal your fish and freeze it all until you check out. You can either have it mailed via FedEx or have them box it for you to travel with. Note: Anchorage International Airport has a storage freezer for your fish if you're planning to stay overnight in Anchorage. ***If you're traveling through Seattle from Anchorage and will be staying overnight...contact your hotel to see if they'll store it in their freezer as the SmartCarte baggage storage does not open until 8am at SeaTac. We took home 70+ lbs of fish. The resort and surrounding area was peaceful, serene and breathtaking. Alaska always brings things back into perspective about life. Keep it simple. Are we returning? Absolutely. Recommend: HIGHLY

Ez limit's service was so bad, that I believe this is the first non 5 star review that I have ever…read moregiven. And this is only 1 star because zero stars i isn't an option. First Ez limit is basically a booking service and just sells your purchase to other guides. So you have zero idea who you will actually go with and their qualifications. Secondly they overbook assuming some will cancel, but will not give refunds for their overbooking . My family of eight was told two days prior to one of three dates we had booked that they could only fill 5 of the slots 6 slots that they had billed us and I had paid. On their site they advertise their services are better because they offer " Quality less rushed all day charters". However on the first day the guide Greg assigned to us told us at 12:30 that we had 20 minutes left to catch our remaining fish before Greg had his next guides coming in that would need our spot. Had I not been able to find another guide, Ez limit would have destroyed our trip to Alaska, including my 3 grandkids. Very rude when I asked if my 4 times deployed son in law could get a military discount. They could have jest said no. My strong advice is to choose a guide service that will actually be the guide who will be taking you, not just reselling to others. And don't pay extra thinking you'll get "Quality less rushed all day charters" Strong thumbs down for Ez Limit

If your looking for 3-7 days of fishing action, this is a one stop shop. They offer hike in fishing, fly fishing off the banks of either the world famous Kenai river or Kasilof river.

We got up every morning and banked fished and landed a beautiful Steelhead but had to release... The cabin sleeps 4 comfortably (3 rooms, 4 beds) Beds were comfortable. Complete with bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen is stocked with dishes and silverware. Cupboards have all spices you need to cook your catch. BBQ provided. And 2 fire pits to relax around after a day of fishing. TIP: Book trips early June - mid September for BEST all around fishing experience. That's when the KINGS are thick. I'm already planning for 2019.
