In August I traveled with my two brothers and nephew to KIR. This was our first Alaska fishing trip and it was outstanding in every way. Allen and April Walburn are excellent host and wanted to make this a memoriable trip for us. The lodge, a two story log house, was impressive and was like staying in an upscale bed... More

If you want a memorable fishing experience on a top notch boat while staying in a really high end resort, look no further than the Kodiak Island Resort. I spent a few days there with my 16 year old son this August, and we are still shocked about how great an experience this was. We fished four consecutive days, catching... More

After having fished at several top end fishing lodges in Alaska in recent years,our group's view is that Kodiak Island Resort far exceeds the standards of any other lodge we've stayed at. There are several points of differentiation at KIR. Their 38' catamaran hull boat is the best designed and most stable boat I have fished on in Alaska. The... More

This resort has everything you could want for a great Alaskan fishing experience. Our host and hostess, Allen and April, were friendly and made extra efforts to be sure we enjoyed our stay. They even cooked grits for breakfast for us Southerners! Apriil is a gourmet cook and prepared wonderful appetizers and meals for us. Their Lodge is beautiful and... More

I decided to go fishing in Alaska this year- and settled on Kodiak Island Resort- partly because of the positive online reviews. After my experience, I can now add my strong recommendation. Kodiak Island Resort is just about the best you can get in Alaska for up-scale resort fishing. The resort offers: Fantastic fishing in a rugged and beautiful landscape... More

Kodiak Island Resort is an experience well suited to hard core fisherman and families seeking a new adventure! Lodging, food and fishing are all top notch. I would strongly recommend this venue to individuals looking for high caliber fishing with many of the amenities of home. This is the type of resort where the individual can catch multiple large saltwater... More

As a former Alaska resident and having gone to Alaska fishing lodges many times since leaving Alaska, I have extensive experience with Alaska fishing options. This time, we decided to fish Kodiak and chose Kodiak Island Resort based on reviews and talking to the lodge owner. Three of us went in July 2011. The pros -- the lodge itself is... More

The title says it all. We have vacationed at Kodiak Island Resort the last two years. While both experiences were different is some ways such as weather, both were consistent in the areas of high quality lodging, food, and fishing. Last year we visited the lodge in early June and had a great time. We caught hundreds of pounds of... More

I really enjoyed my time up there. I cant wait to go back. Allen and April really have it together . Beautiful lodge and the food is unbelievable. Rafe and Capt. Joe are a couple of great guys to spend multiple successful fishing days with. 5 stars for sure!

First, our group of 7 took a story-book journey across the tops of mountains to Larsen Bay. Alighting from the aircraft, we were warmly greeted by our hosts, Alan and April Walburn. Taking us on a tour of the lodge they had crafted themselves, we flopped down on big comfy beds, 2 queens per room and enjoyed the seaside views... More
