About Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge

Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge is the only accommodation on remote Fox Island. The lodge consists of eight guest cabins situated on a narrow peninsula of land just south of Kenai Fjords Tours’ Day Lodge. Four cabins are connected in one building, two facing the fresh-water lagoon and two facing Resurrection Bay with ocean views. The other four cabins are duplexes, with water views.

The main lodge’s cozy guest lounge and dining room—featuring expansive views of the spanning island and the ocean bay—is the perfect spot for socializing with the other guests or curling up with a book. Comb the beach skipping stones or explore the island and its two undeveloped Alaska State Marine Parks.

Fox Island is close to Seward, but it’s a world away from the ordinary. The waters surrounding it are a rich blue green color, reflecting the weather and lapping upon the shore. Marine wildlife is abundant near Fox Island. Guests cruising to or from the island commonly see Steller sea lions, otters, whales, Dall's porpoise, and an endless variety of seabirds that include eagles, puffins, cormorants, and murres.

Due to its remote location, Fox Island relies on renewable energy sources to power the facilities, making it the ideal place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Sleep soundly knowing you’ve chosen an Alaskan eco-tourism destination, certified by Adventure Green Alaska.

We hope you will embrace the untouched beauty and appreciate the quiet comfort of our seaside wilderness location. Our all-inclusive lodge is a two night minimum stay so you can have the full experience on Fox Island. This beautiful and remote island affords minimal distractions so you can literally unplug and reconnect with nature.

As part of our commitment to preserving this pristine wilderness getaway, Fox Island’s main source of energy is solar power*. Cabins are not equipped with electrical outlets, televisions, radios or telephones*. The Wilderness Lodge does have a charging station if you would like to charge your devices during your stay.

*For times of additional need, we do have propane generators as a back-up, and the staff have access to emergency communications should the need for contact with the mainland arise.
