The cabins, with private bathrooms, sleep up to four people with one queen bed and one queen-sized sofa sleeper. With no electrical outlets, lights are powered by solar energy. Note: there is a charging station in the main lodge for guests to charge their devices. Guests can surely unwind while sitting on the small deck of their cabins enjoying the water views. The cozy main lodge consists of a guest lounge and dining area. Guests can enjoy conversation with others, delve into a book, or sip on a glass of wine (available for purchase) while taking in the views through the two-story windows facing the ocean bay.

On the day of departure, guests leave Fox Island via the Northwest Fjord Tour. This tour is the longest tour offered by Kenai Fjords Tours and provides ample opportunity to see wildlife along the spectacular glaciated coastline of Kenai Fjords National Park. For those desiring a shorter tour back to Seward, options are available to guests instead of the all-day tour.
