Orca Island Cabins

Orca island was truly a magical experience you have to see to believe! From the start of the trip the staff were extremely friendly. They carry all your bags down to the boat and deliver them to your cabin before you even get to your room while you’re on a tour of the facility. There are so many options of things to do too! We went on a hike to the iron doors, Izzy dropped us off at the trailhead by boat which was so fun. We also snorkeled and spent a lot of time by the fire. This place is worth every penny and I actually think you get a lot for what you pay. Kayaks, snorkel gear, private boat rides to trail head, an extremely attentive staff, well taken care of fire pit lookout, fishing gear, and all inclusive wildlife boat ride to and from the island. I will be coming back one day, because I have never felt peace like this! Thank you Orca Island Team and a special thank you to Izzy for making it so enjoyable! Oh! And I forgot to mention- the kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need. My only regret was not thinking to pack creamer since they said they provide coffee.

Hidden gem with breathtaking views! I highly recommend Orca Island Cabins. From the moment we arrived, the crew was incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure our stay, especially with my parents, was relaxing and enjoyable. The cozy yurt, peaceful surroundings, and thoughtful little touches made it a truly memorable experience. Seeing wildlife was definitely a highlight! I honestly wish we could’ve stayed longer. I’ll absolutely be coming back.

This place is incredible!! It is extremely secluded and beautiful in so many different ways It's quite hard to describe. The owners are wonderful people and the price you pay to come and visit is worth every penny. Whether you just want to get away or are planning a complex itinerary, this place should definitely be on your list. Even though it is only accessible by boat, the trip out of Seward Alaska is not extremely long and it's fun to explore Seward just the same. As a professional photographer and filmmaker my wife and I had an absolute blast. It really is set up like a luxury hotel once you're out there so know that it will be incredibly comfortable and wonderful! They provide just about everything you could ever want for fishing, kayaking, and that sort of thing really you just need to bring your own food. It's not just a cool place to visit It's a life-changing one so don't think twice! Book it now!

This is one of the most wonderful places we've ever stayed in 40 years of traveling! Can't say enough about Simon and Jonah, the two brothers who took over OIC from their parents, and are great hosts, from driving the boat to the island, to helping launch kayaks and row-boats, to attaching the right lure to our fishing pole. All the staff were incredible. We were a bit concerned about too much "roughing it", but we were pleasantly suprised that the yurts were spacious, with a comfortable queen bed and well-stocked kitchen, hot running water, a gas stove and fire for warmth, and even one electrical outlet for charging phones. The deck had an incredible view. Also, shout out to Taylor, a Marine Biologist who took us for a 3 hour boat tour of the area and all the amazing sea life. Pricey, but once you stay here you can see why. We are recommending it to our friends, and we will be back!

My family of 4 stayed in one of the yurts for 2 nights. It was fabulous!! We loved being secluded and off devises. The yurt was comfortable (we added in a cot too for 2nd child). I loved how quiet it was, loved the included activities. We kayaked to the waterfall and saw the salmon. We also did the hike and fished. Beautiful views! We also took advantage of the grocery pick-up.

Orca Island was the perfect way to disconnect and unwind from everyday life. The yurts were very comfortable. The decks are great for watching for wildlife. We kayaked, paddle boarded, snorkeled, hiked and searched in the tide pools for critters. The access to the water is unreal! We also did the wildlife tour with Taylor and had a phenomenal time. We got to see many animals up close and even saw humpback whales! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay at the beautiful yurts. We got a couple beautiful days and enjoyed sitting on the deck watching whales, kayaking, SUP, fishing, and making s'mores. The yurts were comfortable, the beds were great. Everyone was very nice. It was also enjoyable to be disconnected. It was a great trip with our parents with a perfect balance of outdoorsy and luxury to accommodate all of us.

Orca cabin yurts are an amazing getaway experience. You are off the grid, and free to enjoy the beauty and quiet of nature. There are kayaks provided with a nice bay to kayak in. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had an enjoyable meal, of grilled black cod. Grilled on the provided gas grill.
