WELCOME

At Katmai Wilderness Lodge, you’ve found the ideal combination of relaxation and wildlife adventure!

It’s the end of a long day. Exciting, but long. You’ve just finished yet another exquisitely prepared meal and now sitting on the deck watching an extraordinary Alaskan sunset. The brilliant golden clouds melt into deep electrified violets over the never-ending expanse of the horizon. The scene looks just a bit too surreal to not be a dream. From your comfortable perch, you can still envision the bear cubs playing at the water’s edge, bathed in the golden glow of the evening light. Suddenly, you feel re-energized, excited, and you can’t wait for tomorrow. Yeah, we know. We feel that way every day. Welcome to Katmai!

You’ll feel right at home in this idyllic cedar lodge, a hideaway that’s both the perfect place to decompress and a breathtaking gateway to all the splendors of the Alaskan wilderness. Feast on fine cuisine prepared specially for you by our renowned chef, unwind in your cozy guest room, and bask in the grandeur of Alaska’s untouched coastal wilderness.

Unlike many Alaskan lodges, at Katmai Wilderness Lodge you’ll find hot showers, fully equipped private bathrooms, and delightful guest rooms with comfortable accommodations. You’ll enjoy mouthwatering meals in our traditional Alaskan dining room; put up your feet in the lodge’s living room full of books, games, and DVDs; and sit back on our multi-level deck – an exceptional place to take in the view and observe the beauty of Katmai.

An eco-friendly lodge, Katmai uses wind and solar power to minimize our impact on the environment. Lauded by Alaska Magazine, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and hailed as one of Alaska’s Best Places by renowned Nan Elliot, Katmai Wilderness Lodge boasts one of the highest quality destinations in the north.
