Accommodations

Hummingbird Island offers guest lodging in six private cabins. Three cabins are two bedroom/two bathroom cabins with the common living room/dining room area. These cabins have two sets of twin bunk beds in each room.

Three new cabins built in 2005 include two King cabins which have one king bed and a bathroom; and a 3rd cabin which has two separate queen rooms with one queen bed and bathroom in each.

Fishing

With some of the best fishing in the world, Hummingbird Island is the place of choice for diehard fishers. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the Sitka Sound area has the best King Salmon fishing catch rate in southeastern Alaska.

Quest Lodges experienced fishing guides will take you to the fish and get them on your line. Sitka Sound is an important feeding area for big King Salmon, which can grow to over 70 pounds. Sitka Sound Salmon are still in their prime, feisty and hard fighting. The best Alaska King Salmon fishing occurs in May, June and July.

In mid to late summer, Silver Salmon become even more prolific than their bigger cousins. The limit for Silvers is generous so they provide excellent Alaska sport fishing opportunities. Silver Salmon, also known as Coho, are commonly caught in July, August and September.

Bottom fish such as Halibut, Ling Cod and Red Snapper are also abundant in our area of Alaska fishing. Alaska Halibut weighing up to 300 pounds are caught occasionally, and large numbers of smaller fish are available. These Alaska fish bite well through the late spring, summer and early fall.

Quest Alaska Lodges provide all needed equipment, including top quality Alaskan fishing boats, rods, reels, and baits.
