About Kanga Bay Cabin

Kanga Bay Cabin overlooks a secluded cove off Redoubt Bay on Baranof Island, and was built in 1998 by local volunteers. It's available year round, weather permitting, and makes an excellent base for experiencing and exploring this corner of Alaska. The site is remote. It can only be accessed by floatplane or boat. It's 10-minute plane ride or a 40-minute boat ride from Sitka. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

What Guests Are Saying

Kanga Bay Cabin offers excellent facilities and a cozy atmosphere, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. However, the wood stove was out of service, which was disappointing given the rainy weather. Overall, guests appreciate the cabin's charm despite the minor issue with the heating.

Beautiful cabin and area. Lots of firewood available in the shed and splitting axe available as well. Toilet was a little Hike back in the woods. High tide was a breeze to pull right up and toss everything off before anchoring up.

Great little cabin!

Cute Cabin in a lovely cove. The sun sets behind the cove so you have lovely morning sun but it gets darker earlier in the evening. We had a great trip and would come again.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the Sitka Convention and Visitors Bureau for boat or air charters.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
