Kodiak Islands, Alaska:We are a beautiful, full serviceKodiak Island Wilderness Lodgelocated on Raspberry Island, in the Kodiak Island Archipelago, Alaska. We offer all inclusive packages that include Kodiak Halibut Fishing, Kodiak Salmon Fishing, Kodiak Bear Viewing, Sea Kayaking, Hiking/Backpacking, and Photography of Alaska’s Wilderness and Alaskan Wildlife. We are second generation to Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge (previously Raspberry Island Remote Camps-we changed our name in early 2009 to better describe what we offer) and carry on the vocation my folks started nearly thirty years ago. We are Truly Remote; nearly twenty miles away from the nearest community and every window offers a view of the surrounding mountains or ocean. Private Guest Cabinswith indoor bathrooms, delicious Fresh Alaskan Seafood, hydroelectric power, wireless internet, complimentary locally brewed beer on tap as well as wines paired to each evening meal, and customized service are just a sampling of what you will enjoy on your vacation.
Kodiak Fishingoffers many rewards in both the sport value and table fare of the many different fresh and salt water species of fish that we can target, including all five species of Pacific Salmon, Lingcod, Yelloweye Rockfish, and big Pacific Halibut. Our custom built thirty seven foot aluminum catamaran, with over six hundred horsepower, a fully enclosed heated cabin, and stand up private bathroom makes ocean fishing comfortable and her large twelve by seventeen foot back deck leaves plenty of room to fight the big ones. Thanks to our remote location, we never have to travel far to fish. If you chose to harvest your catch, we include in our packages the professional care, handling, filleting, vacuum sealing, labeling, freezing, and boxing of your fish every day. Fly Fishersand spin fishers enjoy our climactic Silver (Coho) Salmon returns in September. Our favorite streams fill with salmon and are surrounded by long, sandy beaches, tidal estuaries, shallow flats, and old growth Sitka Spruce forests. It is a pleasure just fishing these rivers, and the catching can render even the most veteran fly fisher to giggles.
Though the incredible fishing is certainly one of the major attractions to Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge, we also focus on and specialize inKayaking, Hiking, Photography, and of course, the famousAlaskan Brown Bear!These trips offer not just viewing, but participation in, Alaska’s Wilderness. All activities are fully guided and outfitted.

I find myself smiling some days thinking of what a wonderful place Raspberry Island is. Great people, fishing, food, views…. You know!

Thank you for everything. Everyone I have talked to has asked about the Raspberry Island experience and I have found it turns out to be a 30 to 45 minute description. You know this is weird but I cannot stop thinking about that area and everything that makes it special.

"9/18 Our first impressions of this location is one of awe and excitement. My pulse is racing just thinking about staying this week....
9/20 The reality of this trip has out paced my imagination; and please don’t think my imagination feeble. Birch is equal parts clever, enthusiastic, kind and thoughtful. How does he manage to keep up the energy to still be excited about another whale or otter or seal or eagle? It’s totally infectious. Our muscles ache with the joy of the wants of another day. And Tiffany is no less wonderful, attentive, sweet, generous. There is also another factor which is no more than the luck of the draw--the other people staying here. I want to befriend each one of them. I want to meet them all here again next year....
Thanks for a wonderful time!" (Excerpt from a cabin journal)
