The lodge is equidistant from the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, airport (JAC) and the Idaho Falls, Idaho, airport (IDA). Generally speaking commercial flights to Idaho Falls are less expensive than flying to Jackson Hole, WY.

If you have a private or chartered plane you can fly into Driggs, Idaho.

Airport Shuttles (rates can change at any time):
Prices are per vehicle trip.

Round Trip Idaho Falls (IDA) 1-4 guests = $325 (about 75-90 minutes each way depending on weather & construction)

There is a $15 per person fee for more than 4 riders. They can take up to 8 people plus luggage in one vehicle. They do have several transport vehicles and can, and often do, combine vehicles for large groups. To be more efficient for large groups, arrival/departures occasionally a guest may have to leave TVL a little early or have a short wait at the airport until the next guest(s) arrive. They always let all the guests know what the shuttle schedule will be prior to their dates of travel.

Gratuities:
Gratuities are a personal decision based on services rendered. Normally, guides are tipped daily as you may have a different guide each day. We recommend that you trip your guide on a daily basis, somewhere in the nature of $100 – $150 per day, per boat/guide (usually shared between two anglers). For the lodge staff, (chefs, housekeeping, wait staff, etc.) we recommend $50 per day per person.
