10 Nature & Wildlife Tours in Kodiak Island That You Shouldn't Miss

July 6, 2021 Layne Dawes

Kodiak Island, sitting off the Southern coast of Alaska in the Kodiak Archipelago, is home to the city of Kodiak, Alaska's largest fishing port, famous for catches of king crab and salmon. The island is also home to the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, which takes up almost two-thirds of the island and protects populations of Kodiak brown bears, all six species of Pacific salmon and 250 species of birds. With a lovely temperate marine climate, Kodiak promises outdoor fun, all year long.

Kodiak Scenic Tours

My wife and I moved from Nebraska in 2004 and began our family here that now includes 3 young boys, 2 dogs, and about a dozen goats:) I have spent many years navigating the waters with a small open top aluminum skiff and now charter a much larger and more comfortable cabin cruiser. After 15 years of residence we proudly claim this island as home. I remain daily amazed by Kodiak’s beauty and opportunity for adventure and it is a joy to share it with others!
