Orca Island Cabins

Seward


In Humpy Cove, 9 miles southeast of Seward, this privately owned place has a gathering of seven yurts with private bathrooms and kitchens. All have propane-powered ranges, water-heaters and solar power. These are a great choice for those who want to rough it without roughing it too much. The price includes water-taxi, stand-up paddleboard and kayak rentals.
