Orca Point Lodge was a great excursion on our Alaska cruise. The people were wonderful, attentive, and friendly. The island was beautiful with spectacular views. The food was out of this world delicious and plentiful. I recommend visiting if you have a chance. read more

We visited Orca Point Lodge as part of our Whale tour with Allen Marine Tours. All staff members were friendly, attentive and informative. Food was served buffet style and all was good. The chowder was served with what the waitress advertised as "their" hot sauce and I was a little bummed to find that there wasn't any hot sauce for sale in the shop because it was pretty good! Beware of the flies, this isn't specific to this location but they were unable to escape the giant flies here either which tended to congregate right by the windows. The location of this restaurant is amazing and the views from the beach after eating were breathtaking. One of the guides mentioned checking out the tide pools after our meals so that's exactly what we did. I am from Florida and naturally search for shells, urchin and shark teeth while I'm out and did find some urchin shells in one of the old tide pool spots. I was psyched to say the least. I would definitely recommend dining here for the dinner cruise or even better booking the whales and dining tour. read more

Came to a magical wedding here, food and staff were great the entire time. We took a 20 minute boat ride on Allen marine to get to the lodge. We lucked out with beautiful weather! read more

Orca Point Lodge - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

I would not recommend trusting this location to anyone wanting to eat for sure. I was a member of the "Best of Juno" tour which ambitiously tires to tie three tours into one. The second tour would have been at orca point lodge but here we discover an architectural choice which condemned a small group of 40 to hunger. A pontoon bridge connects the dock to the lodge; but today the waters were too choppy to safely cross passengers. Perhaps only a pontoon bridge may be built there, perhaps other alternatives were possible. Regardless; our captain chose to forgo the lodge because of the danger. I was then stuck on the same boat I had been whale watching in for two hours, for another two hours. In lieu of substantial food they opened up the snack bar for children and mothers to nourish themselves on the best of Alaska hospitality; Miss Vickie's chips. Overall a bad experience. I would recommend not taking the "Best of Juno" tour as it not always guaranteed you will go to all the tours. Being on a boat you are hostage to the whims of the captain and may find yourself watching whales eat and feeling a bit envious. I did see an orca though! Almost makes it okay. read more

Stopped here as part of a whale watching cruise. Food was absolutely fantastic, prepared by the culinary students from around the country. The grounds were lovely with beautiful views. Very isolated but very comfortable thanks to the hard work of the staff. Good Alaskan beer flights. read more

We had lunch here in Juneau, AK before our whale watching trip. The staff was exceptional and the food was delicious. The Bison Meatloaf was smoked and their Seafood chowda was to die for. Finished the meal with fresh beignets smothered in raw honey/powder sugar read more

After the Orca watching from Allen Marine tours, they take you to the Orca Point Lodge for a Salmon Bake. The lodge itself was nice and it was able to accommodate a large group of people. When you get in, the lunch is setup buffet style with an employee at the end of the line to serve you Salmon and chicken. Btw, the staff will warn you not to cross to the other island since water rises quickly and you may be stranded on the other side, so don't do it. The food: Salmon Bake- I was super excited to try Salmon in Alaska but it was kinda a let down for me. I normally like my Salmon raw, so cooked was a bit of a stretch for me but the Salmon here was overcooked and not very appetizing. I have had respectable cooked Salmon dishes before but this Salmon was tough and dry. It's kinda sad that the chicken with the spicy seasoning was so much better than the Salmon, the chicken was shockingly really good. The rice, veg and bread were very generic. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Z51xnWlZrsJFVglkCfItxw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

Wonderful place to visit. Had a great meal of salmon and chicken. Super friendly staff. The views are amazing, such a serene place. Wish our excursion to Orca Point Lodge was longer. It was part of an excursion we booked through our ship. read more

It was an adventure just docking the boat. When we got to the boat dock the wind and rain had picked up quite a bit. They had a hard time getting the boat close to the dock to tie it down. Once they did they wandered if the floating walk to the lodge was safe to walk on. Everyone work at the lodge came out and stationed themselves down the walk to make sure everyone was safe. It was sorta like a carnival ride walking to the lodge. We all made it across with no problems. The buffet was very nice. The salmon was very good and the lodge was warm. The small gift shop had just enough things to spend money on. After lunch it was back to the boat for whale watching. We saw about three whales, a harbor seal and a few bald eagles. It was very rainy and cold but on the boat they had hot chocolate and snacks. It was a very good trip. Highly recommended. Bring a rain coat! read more

I had lunch at the Orca Point Lodge on Colt Island, AK (near Juneau) on 8/2/2014. It was my 1st time there. My cruise ship, the Island Princess, was in Juneau that day. As part of a tour that included whale watching and the Mendenhall Glacier my boat the St. Aqualina took us to Orca Point Lodge for a salmon bake. I loved it. Orca Point is a beautiful location. The silver salmon served us was great and served by a friendly staff. Plus, I took photos. read more

We booked a whale watching excursion and had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful Orca Point Lodge for lunch. It was a slightly gloomy day, more sun than clouds, and the lodge itself was poised alone in a picturesque piece of land where everyone nearby was living off the grid. We had no more than an hour and a half at the lodge, but I could have spent the entire day (or longer), enjoying the amazing views and property. The lodge itself is beautifully done. All very new build and in very good condition. I'd love to see them add more character to this already great foundation, because there's not much decoration aside from some photography for sale posted on the walls. There are ample restrooms, an adorable little gift shop, catering facilities, a BEAUTIFUL deck, and a cool little tide pool area if you traverse across the deck and just beyond the dock. Make time for the tide pool area! Otherwise, like us, it will be an afterthought as you head back to the boat. I'm unsure if all the food excursions to Orca Point are the same, however ours included a salmon feed. It was pretty darn good, and aside from the salmon, the cole slaw was my favorite! VERY unique! Make sure to take a photo of the recipe as seen on the window near the entrance. The dessert was OK, and mac and cheese for the kids looked great, although it was pretty mediocre. They also offered a shrimp cocktail for an extra charge. We did not try it, although we would have liked to. My favorite part about this gorgeous lodge was really the setting. Wow is it beautiful there! While we didn't see any orcas, we were only there for less than an hour and a half. I honestly would love to go back, and spend far more time at this beautiful lodge and property. It would be a great spot for a family reunion or a wedding. With windows across one full side of the lodge, it was beautiful both indoors and out. It really is... heaven on earth. read more

My wife and I took the opportunity from our cruise company to experience a day of whale watching with a finale of lunch at the Orca Point Lodge. The tour was expertly conducted by the crew of Janice, Mariah, Zoltan, Carlie, and Jason from Allen Marine. The raw rainy day was still very enjoyable within the toasty confines of the vessel with applicable refreshments available for the sightseers of all ages. Many whales were observed during their normal daytime feeding. We landed at the Orca Point Lodge for an afternoon meal of grilled salmon and chicken along with all the fixin's of fresh green beans, cole slaw, mac and cheese, seasoned rice, yeast rolls, beverages of choice, and especially a decadent brownie for desert. The salmon and chicken were appropriately grilled and seasoned to satisfy the tastes of all present. The lodge is in a picturesque setting and tasty menu offering leaving me dreaming of a return visit in the near future. All personnel exhibited Alaskan hospitality that made us feel welcomed to our northernmost state. I highly recommend this excursion when visiting Juneau. read more

You definitely go here for the beauty, not necessarily the food. Our party of 10 was happy with the lunch, but was maybe hoping for more of an experience. Time was short though, but still happy to have been able to go to Colt Island. read more

My wife booked the salmon bake at the Orca Point Lodge as part of a whale watching excursion we took while our Princess Cruise ship was docked in Juneau. First, I must acknowledge the scenery at the lodge was magnificent. The lodge itself is magnificent. The staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food was okay at best. So, two of these three stars are for the lodge and the servers/hosts. Maybe my problem was one of expectation. Salmon is a signature dish of Alaska, right? So, at a genuine Alaska salmon bake, I expected to see servers pulling huge Alaskan salmon from a roasting oven and serve it to us patrons, off the bone, fresh, hot and delectable. What we got instead was plain old, everyday steam table buffet style salmon fillets. Fine in other settings, but in this picturesque setting I was hoping for more. Further, while going through the buffet, my wife and I immediately recognized the steamed vegetable medley as the frozen Normandy Vegetable Medley we buy at Costco. We love this product and buy it all the time, but it did make us wonder about the source of the salmon fillets. Were they fresh caught salmon, as we were told, or frozen fillets from Costco? I couldn't help to think they were the latter. Full credit to the staff of the lodge, who have to bring all their supplies for the day's service to the isolated island every single day. But, if you choose Orca Point as a stop on your whale watching tour, go for the scenery, not the food. read more
