Hummingbird Island. The small island resort consists of beautiful cabins, docks
and a main dining meeting facility.
Location
Hummingbird island is located just minutes away from the
historic city of Sitka, which was the capital of Russian Alaska.
The climate on Hummingbird Island is mild, with summer daytime high
temperatures averaging 61° F in July. Bring clothing that will allow you to

boots for guest use.

and art galleries. Many major attractions are within easy walking distance.

Park and much more.

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.
