Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge

This is a place where magic happens. The staff is exceptional! The food is divine and the adventures surpass expectations! Each day was more magical than the next. Tide pool learning, hikes in hemlock old growth forests, hikes to a glacier lake and a trek up a snowpack ridge are just of few of the wonderful opportunities we enjoyed!!

KBWL is the most wonderful place! We have visited this lodge three times and we will definitely return again. Every staff person and guide is friendly, warm, knowledgeable and super safety oriented. In wild Alaska, this is a very comforting feeling! Every day at the lodge is different: kayaking, hiking, tidepooling, beach combing and great bird watching! Equipment is top notch and their mission is to show guests the best this corner of Alaska has to offer, in style! Guest cabins are curated for comfort and stocked with fresh wildflowers, french press coffee, teas and snacks. The food is AMAZING, with a farm-to-table approach and a cookie jar that is always full! When we are visiting we feel like family.

This experience was a 10 out of 10 if you are rating all of the conventional categories these reviews ask you to rate. What the standard review doesn't often allow you to rate are the intangibles of a place. Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge is full of those magical intangibles. It starts with the staff and the owners. The environment the moment you walk onto the property is one of family, love for place and respect for the surrounding environment. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, humble, gracious and thoughtful. They are also just exceptionally good people working in an exceptionally good culture. The result is that your experience is as perfectly tailored to your needs as you could possibly ask. The physical beauty of the area is breathtaking. The activities are varied, fun and fascinating (stunning hikes, orca whale sighting, bald eagles everywhere, kayaking...) and I would say the same about the staff. The beauty of the Lodge, however, is that you can do everything or you can do nothing. The experience is what you chose to make of it because the Lodge will uphold its end of the bargain in making sure they create the perfect environment for you to have your perfect experience. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the food. The meals were gourmet from breakfast to appetizers to dinners. Fresh, flavorful and creative. A world class experience from start to finish. This is an experience that my wife and I will take with us for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back.

Our family of six traveled to Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The experience exceeded expectations and all agreed it was our best family vacation ever. The accommodations were very comfortable and private. The food was beyond compare. Everything was made on site including the breads and yogurt. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable and were super accommodating. We can't say enough good things about the lodge, the meals, the staff and the excursions. Thank you Kachemak Bay!
