SUMMER
May 26 – September 26
Fishing, Sea Kayaking, Hiking, Fly-out Bear Viewing, and Wildlife Cruises
Set among the Sitka spruce and salmonberry bushes on our property, at the foot of a mountain and on the edge of the sea, our eight private guest cabins, central main lodge, and Nordic-themed spa emphasize comfort within the surrounding wilderness. Many guests come for the fishing, but others choose to build their stay around a mix of outdoor experiences.
Our family has shaped Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge for over four decades, spanning three generations, for new and returning travelers who value Alaska’s wilderness without surrendering comfort, safety, or thoughtful care. We invite you to join us here and experience what makes this part of Alaska so special.
FALL
September 31 – December 13
Roosevelt Elk, Sitka Black-Tailed Deer, and Sea Ducks
Raspberry Island and nearby Southwest Afognak Island are home to Alaska’s Roosevelt elk and Sitka black-tailed Deer. The waters between these islands provide important wintering habitat for harlequin, Barrows goldeneye, long-tailed ducks, scoters, red-breasted and common mergansers, and other puddlers.
Our modern, off-grid, oceanfront wilderness lodge serves as a safe and comfortable base of operations, offering unguided daily boat drop-off and pick-up hunts for elk and deer, along with fully guided fair chase hunts for sea duck species collection. We invite you to join us here—enjoy the hunting part of your hunt, let us take care of the rest.
What Our Guests Say
Thank you for being so wonderful to me and my clients, as they said it themselves, ‘this trip, the food, the fish, the people, have exceeded our expectations.’ ‘Top Shelf.’ ‘5 Star.’ You make everything you do look easy even though you never really stop for very long- Raspberry Island is the only place to go for the best of everything.
Thoreau had his Walden Pond, his serene, peaceful, beautiful bit of the wonder of Nature. Anyone visiting Raspberry Island, its Remote Camp, the exquisite beauty of the forested hill sides falling precipitously towards inviting fishing waters, has found their own magical Walden Pond, here in this spot. Add to this, warm hospitality…and you have a very special inviting repose. Thank you for all of this, memories long to be cherished, and especially the “best carrot cake” in the world. Till we meet again.
…we have had stellar five days …. Fishing has been superb, meals fabulous, bear viewing and kayaking a great time for my boys. We venture back to the hot, humid East Coast with heavy hearts but fond memories (and plenty of fish). Hope to be back again soon.
Raspberry Island Remote (Lodge) turned out to be the highest point in a trip where nothing was low.
Truly wondrful place, must be because this is our sixth trip!! No better place to unplug, enjoy the remoteness, enjoy great fishing, and be treated like family.
A dream come true! Years of talking about a fishing trip to Alaska is finally a reality with experiences we will remember forever. We met great people and were treated with the highest respect and greatest accommodations. The fishing was better then expected and the scenery was out of this world. You made this father-son fishing trip our best ever!
In two short days we have seen whales, bears, otters, fox, eagles, and puffins, thank you the Robbins family.
Birch, Tiffany, et al…. thank you for such a wonderful experience. you have opened your home, cabins and hearts to us. everyone who works here is caring and believes in the mission of Raspberry Island Remote. You feel how special this place is the moment you walk off the boat until you walk balk on to leave for the last time. tank you for great memories, thank you for being special people and tank you for a great life experience.
Amazing place with so much attention to detail! It was the perfect family vacation and had something for every member of our family. We especially enjoyed the staff. They all worked extremely hard to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. I don’t know how we are ever going to top this one.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lodge and on the boats! Great fishery, lots of variety, and consistent catches. The whole operation is so well run and the hospitality is outstanding. Thanks for a great experience!
We…leave with the kind of regret you feel when you leave family behind. Our intent was to escape work and experience Alaska together…..All was achieved on a grand scale—we celebrated reeling in those big fish and kayaking along magnificent scenery (even spotting a bear close to us on a rocky shore) together….What a wonderful, peaceful, secluded fun spot managed by delightful people….

I’ve fished out of several camps and lodges and Raspberry Island Remote (Lodge) is the best by a long shot. I wouldn’t change a thing. The fish and fishing was better than I expected and the hospitality was the best.
What another wonderful stay at Raspberry Island! The level of comfort provided by Tiffany, Birch and staff makes this one of the best lodges in Alaska. The food was great, the fishing was outstanding and the facilities are top notch. The ability to fish for different species and to fish in several different locations in one day makes this area very unique.
Our stay here on Raspberry Island has been amazing! It was everything we thought it would be an much much more! I think we saw every animal you could possibly see! We came within 30 ft of a huge Finback Whale in our kayaks, and even closer to the Alaskan Brown Bear! Fishing was a Blast! We loved watching the Eagles feast after Birch cleaned our Fish! The food was out of this world! You will definitely not go hungry!
