Tom L, New York: The Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge on Fox Island is a great secluded place to spend the night. There are only a handful of cabins and the views are awesome. The food was good and the cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park was exciting and we even saw a few humpback whales.

Mike, FL: This was my second visit to the island. Enjoyed the new lodge where the views were incredible. Eating meals and viewing the bay was perfect. The food was very good and enough variety to meet our needs. The staff was kind and always available to assist. Being unplugged for a couple of days was wonderful.
