My son and I got to stay overnight at this lovely place and it was just amazing! The peace and quiet except for the birds was just what the doctor ordered. My son spent a lot of time kayaking around in the cove with Sasha (the harbor seal). We had wonderful guests from New York on the island with us... More

A buddy and I stayed here over Memorial weekend. This is a true Alaskan experience. We kayaked out to a waterfall, fished, saw bears, and sea lions. The yurks are awesome and unique. They are on a bluff on the island and the views are the best I've ever seen. Dennis and Susan are gracious hosts. This was by far... More

We stayed for 2 nights. Owners are extemely helpful. Bedding had hair in it from a previous guest : / Not much to do except kayaking since the island is very small. Very beautiful location, no cell phone or internet connection.

We are very sorry you had the experience of finding a hair on your bedding. As the owner and operator I personally do most of the cleaning and bed changing. Because we take great pride in providing very clean facilities in this remote location, we regret this occurred. More

My husband and I stayed two nights in May 2013 - we are from California and were looking to be engulfed in as much "Alaska" as possible. This definitely fit the bill! On the boat ride out with Dennis & Susan we encountered a bunch of Dall porpoises as they played and raced our boat. While on the island, we... More

Our family of five took a two week vacation in Alaska, checking out several locations. We wish we had stayed here much longer than the single night that we did. Simply gorgeous surroundings. No electricity, no phone service, no internet, no machinery, just bliss. My son and I paddled out in the kayaks and promptly reeled in a couple of... More

My son and his girlfriend and I stayed on this Island for just one night in August. Even though it was raining we enjoyed this adventure and felt totally at peace with the ocean environment. We saw loads of jellyfish from our decks as well as salmon, eagles and otters. There is a tidal pool in the rocks and all... More

We rode the train from our home in Anchorage to Seward and spent one night at Orca Island during the Labor Day weekend. We stayed in the Stellar Jay cabin, which is one of the two newer cabins (the other is the Puffin) located higher up on the mountain across a bridge from the main group of cabins. It felt... More

My husband and I stayed in one of these fabulous yurts for 3 nights and experienced pure rejuvenation. It was our first time in Alaska and are so thankful we included this into our trip. No matter what the weather you will enjoy your surroundings. The yurt is so incredibly comfortable with the efficient propane heater and full size gas... More

We just returned from a two night stay at Orca Island. We live in Alaska (Anchorage) and frequently travel throughout Alaska for work. I've been to many places in the state and this overall setting ranks near the top. The setting at Orca Island is simply beautiful. The trip from Anchorage is so very easy because everything you need is... More
