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
Thanks so much for another great trip! Good fishing, sight-seeing, beach combing, and food!!
Raspberry Island Remote Lodge rounded up our 10-day trip to Alaska-and it was the trip’s highlight! Nowhere else did we find this abundance of unspoiled nature and wildlife, this special tranquility and serenity. On our arrival day Birch took the time to show us the feeding grounds of the whales, then the playgrounds of the otters, and finally the rock of the sea-lions-an unforgettable day! Seeking the Grizzlies at Frasier Lake, being very close to them without feeling threatened, was an impressive experience; a walk with Jack along the shoreline showed the unspoiled beauty of Raspberry Strait. Finally we kayaked a full day in the area, accompanied by eagles, otters and whales…
First time to Alaska, and this was the the best. 3 days fishing and one day bear view... Our cabin was beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Slept like a baby each night... It was just a super place, super people. Birch and Tiffany, their kids and the crew, along with friends we made – everyone was super easy to get along. We had the best best time and will always recommend Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge!
In two short days we have seen whales, bears, otters, fox, eagles, and puffins, thank you the Robbins family.
Wonderful 5 days of fishing and relaxing. Taking home plenty of halibut, salmon and crab-limited on all 2 days, last day of ‘fun fishing’ incredible, I caught and released over 15 Silvers and uncounted Pinks on flies and spinners. Birch did a great job putting us on the fish and keeping us relaxed with the conversation. I’ve fished Alaska before but this is the only place that I’m already planning to come back to. Wonderful people, wonderful fishing, wonderful site. 5 stars on everything.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay at Raspberry Island. All of us are raving about the fantastic hospitality and accommodations offered by you and the staff. The fishing was fantastic. The meals were fantastic. The kayaking and hiking were fantastic. You surpassed our expectations and provided us an experience we will never forget.
I find myself smiling some days thinking of what a wonderful place Raspberry Island is. Great people, fishing, food, views…. You know!
Thank you so much for sharing your home and Kodiak Island. My adventure was incredible, as incredible as your hospitality. My memories of this place will be unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back and make more, especially to share them with my family and friends.
Immediately felt at home when we got there! We were genuinely welcomed to the Island and instantly felt a connection to Birch, Tiffany, staff and even the other guests. It was amazing and a special glimpse into Alaska. Fishing was surreal as we not only caught amazing fish, but did it surrounded by such beautiful scenery and wildlife like whales, otters, puffins, etc. The Bear viewing was also incredible because we saw so many awesome bears showing off their personality and loved the seaplane ride out. One of our favorite things though was the late night evening around the dinner table, singing songs as another guest played guitar, drinking too much wine/scotch, and laughing with people we just met like we had known them for years!
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 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!
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.
Got to spend the week with my Son – so it had to be good. The silvers were hit and miss for a while and then ended with a bang! Caught 2 82 lb butt-fish and my fly rod is aching. Great setting, food and hosts! My expectations were high and they were exceeded in every way! Thanks Robbins!
…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.
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!
