Let’s Do This

Planning a Trip

to visit Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge is easy.  Our packages are nearly all inclusive, and we are always ready to communicate with you as you have questions before and after you finalize your reservation with us.  Our lifetime of experience on Raspberry Island has established the infrastructure and relationships to help us ensure your experience into Alaska’s wild is seamless and exceeds your expectations.  
 
We hope you have enjoyed researching your trip, and hope the information found within our website is helpful.  Alaska is a HUGE place, and many of our guests choose to visit us because of our remote location, away from perceived crowds around more easily accessible destinations, and the diversity of experiences that so naturally happen from here.  We believe the comforts we have woven into our infrastructure are also a subtle nod to roughing it in Alaska’s wild, but with the smooth side up.

A few more things to consider:

  • Please connect with us as soon as you are comfortable with planning a trip.  Our calendars are open two years in advance, and with over sixty percent of our clientele returning guests who finalize their reservations in advance, ensuring they are able to visit when most convenient to them.  This doesn’t mean we’re always fully booked, it just means reach out when you’re ready.
  • We are very happy to direct you elsewhere if we feel we’re not the optimal destination for you; for example, if you’d like to focus on fishing for Rainbow Trout or be in the immediate presence of Brown Bears throughout the day, there are many other fine lodges and camps that are located more efficiently.   
  • We are open from late May through late September every year, and timing within that period is mostly important for the different salmon species we target, have a look at the When to Visit page, below, or let us know what your focuses are and we can help recommend an optimal time that is comfortable with your travel schedule.

We understand that planning a trip like this may be overwhelming—Alaska tends to do that.  We encourage you to connect with us when you’re ready, and we are happy to help with the questions on your mind.  

Peter & Susan

We have had a delightful, if all too brief, first visit to Raspberry Island. We have been planning this trip for years and imagining the place, but the reality far outweighs the imagining. The hospitality has been delightful and the environment wonderful. We will be taking home heavy boxes of fish, but the memories will far outweigh that!

When To visit

Each part of the season offers different conditions for fishing, wildlife viewing, kayaking, hiking, and weather, shaped by migration patterns and changing coastal environments.

FAQ

Our frequently asked questions cover travel logistics, weather, fishing, accommodations, wildlife, physical expectations, packing recommendations, and what daily life at the lodge is actually like.
