We spent three weeks in Alaska for our honeymoon and the Orca Island Cabin was BY FAR the best place we stayed! The island is secluded in Humpy Cove so it's quiet and private. Eventhough there were two other yurts on the island with us, we felt like we had the island to ourselves! The yurts are cozy and warm-... More

Fantastic. Relaxing. Stunning wildlife view from the bedroom window. Well-architected and lovely facility. Great opportunities for fishing, kayaking and rowing. Generous and cozy sundeck. Don't forget to bring ice for the cooler if you need to store chilled food. Susan and Dennis, the hosts, are lovely people.

My husband and I traveled to Alaska for our 2nd year Anniversary. We were met by Dennis, who took us on a beautiful 30 minute boat ride to Orca Island Cabins. Pictures cannot touch the untouched beauty of the bay and surrounding islands. We had a great time, as the weather was sunny and warm. We awoke almost every morning... More

Orca Island is an amazing little gem! Beautiful, majestic views will fill your city dwelling heart and put you at ease. The yurts are cozy and comfortable and well taken care of. You can kayak and find many creatures and waterfalls! My friends and I saw, river otters, harbor porpoise, seals, eagles, jellyfish, sea stars and sea lions! After our... More

Even in the rain this was an incredible place to stay. This is truly getting away from it all. The perfect blend of majestic scenery, wildlife, adventure and kick-back time.

I got engaged at the Orca Island Cabins! There was no one else on the island when we stayed, so we were all alone on a remote island in the middle of the Kenai Fjords, what could be more romantic? The weather was cloudy and rainy, I came down with an awful cold, and even so, our stay couldn't have... More

If you want to see and breath another side of Alaska, this is the place! As we headed out in the water taxi with one of our hosts, Capt. Dennis. He told us something that stuck with us over the next two days. "The more you listen, the more you will hear." This was so true as we saw so... More

We were two couples traveling together so we got side-by-side yurts. What a wonderful experience, we fished with porpoise swirling around the boat! We watched a school of salmon swim by from our deck. So many wonderful memories, can't even list them all! The yurts were very comfortable and the hosts were wonderful!

We're going back!!! This is the vacation of a lifetime. We fished from a small boat provided by our host, Dennis and Susan. Breathtaking views and an abundance of wildlife. The yurts were fullly equipted with stove, heating, dishes, and everything we needed. I fed a bluejay from my hand while watching sea lions and sea otters swim by. The... More

Dennis picked us up in Seward and taxied us out to the yurts. Talk about breathtaking! Right when we arrived, there was a sea lion in the bay swimming around. Later that evening, we saw star fish, jelly fish and a sea otter near the island. The next day, we went on a four-hour kayaking trip. The kayaks were a... More
