This place was amazing! The staff were so kind and accommodating! The yurts were so cozy and comfortable. There were so many activities you could do or just relax. I love that there was no wifi or internet so we could unplug and really be present. The views were amazing and the wildlife was abundant. It was worth every penny! I will definitely be going back! 

The best place to relax and unplug!

The whole experience was wonderful. Picked up by owner in boat to bring us to Orca Island. Saw eagle and otters on ride over. A bit to cloudy to see the Glaciers.  Upon arrival we were shown places to kayak and then docked boat and our personal items were brought to our yurts. Traveled with total of 6 people so we rented 2 yurts. Each yurt had everything we needed. We got right to a hike that lasted about 3 hours(i'd say easy/intermediate but with some challenges). A great start to our 2 night visit.  We used the grills to make our dinner and then used the firepit to make some smores.  Nothing like sunlight until midnight to get the most out of our visit. Next day we took our kayaks over to the waterfall. On the route we had a family of otters follow us. We saw an Eagle and fledgling overhead and settle into a tree nearby.  So when we saw the bear of course we were happy but also happy to be in the kayak as he was in the woods. traveled a little further to see the salmon heading upstream right near the waterfall. what an adventure for us city people! tied our kayaks up and walked over to see the falls. Be careful about the tide and which side to leave the kayaks. (stay right). We had to cross the stream which added to our challenge. Cold water and lots of salmon to circumvent because of rookie move to go left of stream.  Took a leisurely paddle back to the island. Settled back on the island and decided to take a walk around the property and pick berries. Turned them into a jam that we spread on bread for a snack. Went well with our charcuterie board and happy hour drinks. We took up to the social area and spent some time relaxing and watching out over the water to see what other wildlife we may see. The tides really effect Orca Island and allow you to wander and see sealife you might not normally notice. Just beautiful. While at the social area we ran into the father of current owners who had actually created the space with his wife, We got to learn how Orca came about and what the island is like in different months. A special treat indeed. Because there was much sunlight left a few of our group went out on a small row boat to try their hand at fishing. We all checked out the art gallery where they have with their mom's work and some other products that you can purchase.  We really took advantage of most of what the place offers for use. It was just a wonderful experience and highly recommend giving this place a visit.  

Eagles and Bear and Salmon- oh my!

Our stay at Orca Island Cabins exceeded all expectations.  It was one of the destinations on our trip that our children looked the most forward to.  Taylor and Simon escorted us to and from the island, showing us otters, puffins and eagles along the way.   Our family kayaked to the waterfall, hiked, fished, went rowing and paddle boarding. The starfish and sea urchins in the tide pools are beautiful. We saw a seal, otters and porpoises in the cove.  The yurts are clean, comfortable and spacious.  The entire property is a beautiful oasis.   Our only regretting is not being able to stay for a second night.  We ❤️ Orca Island!

Perfect Piece of Paradise

Beautiful place to truly appreciate nature, unplugged. Very clean and comfy cabin (yurt).  Well supplied glamping kitchen. The compost toilet was clean, with no smell at all. 
We had a problem with the water heater (little or no hot water). The staff were very responsive right away and figured out the issue and fixed it. 
Know that kayaking is the best way to see and experience all that Humpy Cove has to offer.  However, we did not kayak and simply enjoyed our deck over the gorgeous water - wonderful!
We watched a humpback whale feeding on our boatride out to the cove. 


Spectacular, unique place surrounded by such natural beauty.

Had a great time.  Truly a great place to unplug from the grid.  Kayaking was great.  We saw lots of wildlife. Even did some fishing.  Staff was attentive and absolutely fantastic. My wife & I hope to come again.

Unique place to unwind and unplug.

This hidden gem was a highlight of our trip. A family owned and run self-service glamping site was delightful, adventurous and relaxing all in one. I highly recommend going for at least 2 nights to get the full experience Orca Island can provide.

Absolutely spectacular!

The family who runs the island experience is really down to earth and very kind.  They have preserved an amazing spot that really creates a fantastic experience for travelers looking to get away, off grid a couple of days.  My husband and I enjoyed the peace.  The view was beautiful.  We are a bit spoiled to 5 star hotels, so the yurt is definitely a different experience.  You can hear voices, etc from the yurts around you, so go understanding that you will be around others and be experiencing this with them in a since.  Luckily we had a nice group around us and it was pleasant.  Salt, pepper & oil were provided for cooking.  The heater and stove are propane. There is not a refrigerator, so bring ice for the provided cooler.  There is NO food on the island so bring what you are going to want to eat.
Our favorite part was kayaking to the river where the salmon were spawning and see the beautiful waterfall.  Overall I recommend.  Would be especially neat to take extended family to rent the other yurts, however, it would be VERY expensive.  A wonderful 2 day experience!  I highly recommend.

Amazing experience

A  special place to unplug from the world.  No cell, internet or tv-thank you.  The cabins (Yurts) provide all the comforts of home, fully off grid.  Each Yurt  has great views of the cove and all it has to offer.  You can fish, hike, kayak, etc.   go and recharge your soul.

Made The World Go Away!

This was an absolute beautiful place to stay. So quiet and everything you need is available. The kayaks, canoes and paddle boards! One hour ride out to the island was so much fun. I enjoyed just sitting at the gas fire pit and appreciated the beautiful view!!!

Stunning!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary a few weeks ago at Orca Island.  Our only regret was spending just one night.  It was an unforgettable experience from the time we set foot on the boat in Seward until we got off the next day.  Highlights included the breathtaking beauty and serenity of the property (and it rained the entire time we were there), kayaking around the cove to a tucked away waterfall with a stream full of spanning salmon, enjoying the evening around the fire under the cover of the large shared deck space, to listening to the rain fall on our yurt at night.  It was a truly magical experience and a place we hope to return to in the future!
