Orca Island Cabins

Orca Island Cabins

WELCOME TO ORCA ISLAND CABINS

An adventurous getaway with unique yurt accommodations in the heart of Seward, Alaska.

 

As the pioneers of yurt accommodations in this region, we’ve spent the last 20 years perfecting the art of luxury off-grid living. Our exclusive, private waterfront retreat is accessible only by boat—your journey begins with a breathtaking, one-hour ride from Seward through the stunning waters of Resurrection Bay. Tucked away in the serene and sheltered beauty of Humpy Cove, our coastal resort offers an unparalleled escape into nature’s grandeur. Here, adventure and tranquility go hand in hand, inviting you to disconnect, unwind, and experience the wild beauty of Alaska like never before.

The Experience: A Remote Wilderness Resort

Orca Island Cabins was designed as a retreat for those looking to unplug from the everyday and plug into nature. You won’t find TV’s or WiFi service at our resort. But you will find something much more valuable; unspoiled nature, pure adventure and complete relaxation. 

  • Our remote wilderness resort offers comfortable overnight accommodations in eight private waterfront yurts. 
  • Your stay includes full access to our wide array of watercraft, including kayaks, paddleboats, stand-up paddleboards (SUP), and snorkeling gear.
  • With our protected waters in Humpy Cove, you can truly immerse yourself in the Alaskan wild and marine life as you explore our shores. Or, spend a peaceful day soaking in the view from your private deck and exploring our spectacular coastal forest. 
  • Because of our remote location and limited accessibility, guests to Orca Island Cabins are encouraged to stay within our property and the surrounding area for the duration of your stay, where you can enjoy everything our Alaskan island paradise has to offer.

"This is one of the most magical places I've ever been. My husband brought us here to celebrate 20 years of marriage and it was absolutely unforgettable. We loved being able to use the boats and kayaks whenever we wanted to. The whole place was the definition of peace."
Liz
"This place should be on everyone's bucket list. It's owned and operated by an amazing local family who are so professional and run an incredible operation. It's worth every penny and more."
Amber
"This place was AMAZING!" They've thought of it all when it comes to staying in the wilderness but having modern day conveniences like a hot shower and an oven to cook your meals! The island makes you feel like you've escaped to an enchanted forest."
