Goddard Hot Spring
Just 45 minutes by boat from Middle Island Lodge, this unforgettable excursion transports you to a hidden gem on Baranof Island—where natural hot springs meet breathtaking ocean views. After anchoring offshore, you'll board a skiff for a short ride to land, then step into a serene world of rising steam, calling eagles, and pure Alaskan wilderness. Soak in the natural hot tubs while taking in panoramic coastal scenery—this is remote luxury at its finest.
Goddard Hot Springs has been cherished for centuries, first used by the Tlingit people and later promoted by U.S. Navy physician Dr. Frederick Goddard in the 1800s for its healing properties. Today, it's still a local treasure—and one we’re excited to share with you.
