Reserve Your Stay at Katmai Wilderness Lodge for 2027 and 2028

Katmai Wilderness Lodge is excited to announce that reservations are now open for the 2027 and 2028 seasons. While we are closed for the 2026 season for a comprehensive period of renovations and upgrades, we look forward to welcoming guests back to an improved Lodge experience.

Our Lodge sits on land that has been home to Native Alaskan Peoples for nearly 6,000 years. In preserving this rich heritage, we are carefully rebuilding our systems and infrastructure while maintaining the historical significance of the grounds. Renovations include an environmentally sustainable waste management system and upgraded amenities that enhance comfort while keeping the Lodge’s rustic, welcoming atmosphere intact.

We invite you to secure your stay for 2027 or 2028 and follow along as we share updates on our exciting transformation. We cannot wait to welcome you back to the enhanced Katmai Wilderness Lodge.

How do I get to and from the lodge?

How long is the floatplane flight from Kodiak to the lodge?
The floatplane ride from Kodiak to the lodge takes about 45 minutes.
Does weather ever delay flights to Katmai Wilderness Lodge?

Weather delays are a realistic consideration when traveling throughout Alaska, so we strongly recommend securing Travel Insurance for your Alaska vacation.

We highly advise spending a night in Kodiak before and after your lodge adventure to avoid tight scheduling difficulties or issues with travel delays to and from the lodge. If you plan to fly from Kodiak to Anchorage the same day as departing the lodge at the end of your stay, we recommend reserving a flight to Anchorage that leaves Kodiak at 4:45 p.m. or later flights.

What can I do while in Kodiak?

Kodiak is a beautiful, small town with a rich history influenced by Native Culture, Russian ERA, World War II, USCG (United States Coast Guard), and is home to a rich fishing industry and Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to friendly locals, the town boasts several wonderful museums, restaurants, and shops – all within convenient walking distance of downtown hotels.

Are there luggage restrictions?
We ask you to limit your total weight of baggage in and out of the lodge to less than 50 pounds per person. Soft-sided duffel-style bags are recommended, for easy packing inside Alaska’s classic “bush planes.”

Any additional planes or costs incurred by excess luggage weight are solely the guest’s responsibility. The floatplane carrier’s office offers convenient luggage storage for any additional baggage you won’t need while at Katmai, available for quick pick up upon your return to Kodiak.

We encourage all guests to review our Participant Physical Requirements Policy to ensure these experiences are a good fit.
