RESERVATIONS Kodiak is an amazing place and people like to plan their trips early. If you know exactly where you want to stay or which float plane company you want to take to go bear-viewing, book early! THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS… UNPREDICTABLE! Part of the charm of Kodiak is the unpredictable weather. The weather allows Kodiak to bloom into “The Emerald Isle”. It allows all of the things you come to see - the bears, whales, puffins, and salmon to thrive here. Summers can be perfection, but they can also be rainy, windy, and foggy with a side of overcast. Don’t worry though, you are visiting one of the world’s most exotic islands and your memories will not be about the weather. WHAT TO PACK Kodiak can be cool even in the summer months. Packing items that can be layered is always a smart plan. Layers can be added or removed as the weather changes and that will keep you the most comfortable. Rain gear, including pants, that can easily be slipped on are a must. Rubber boots are the Kodiak standard and will serve you well no matter what weather you experience. Don’t forget your binoculars, cameras, memory cards and batteries. FERRY RESERVATIONS (800) 642-0066 ferryalaska.com

KODIAK.ORG | 11 the kodiak bear Kodiak bears are the largest bears in the world. A male can weigh up to 1,500 pounds. BEAR FACTS Kodiak is the “Brown-bear Viewing Capital of the World”. Bear viewing is one the most popular activities on Kodiak Island. This magnificent animal occupies all available habitats in the Kodiak Archipelago. Two-thirds of Kodiak Island is made up of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, however, the bears know no borders and are found archipelago-wide. The Kodiak Bear population is healthy and usually consists of about 3,500 bears. Kodiak’s bear management program, which includes carefully regulated hunting, is looked to across the globe as one of the most successful and well-regulated systems in the world. Bear In Mind It is important to always remember that the future of this unique population depends on the respect and thoughtfulness from both local residents and visitors. Kodiak bears are shy by nature and any type of human interaction may cause them stress. In most cases, Kodiak bears are not a threat, but they do deserve your respect and attention. Whether you see them or not, remember that you don’t want to surprise them. If you are out and about anywhere in Kodiak, be sure to make enough noise so that they know you are there, never approach or feed a bear, and watch and photograph them from a safe distance. The best time to see a Kodiak bear is during the months of July, August, and September. The best way to do so is in the company of a knowledgeable guide. Most local air taxis / float plane companies (Page 46) offer both half-day and full-day trips to locations on Kodiak Island and to the Katmai Coast. Other ways to see bears include boat charters, kayak trips, hiking, and driving along the Kodiak road-system.
ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL 12 | 2025 KODIAK, AK VISITORS GUIDE Always give wildlife plenty of space. Feeding wild animals is against Alaska state law, but more important, can result in illness or even death. Never leave wrappers, plastic or other containers in the wild as curious animals may be harmed by these. WILD CREATURES
There are many reasons, both feathered and furry, to go wildlife viewing in the Kodiak region. From the tiniest tundra vole to the world-famous Kodiak Brown Bear, you will not be disappointed. Indigenous land mammals include the red fox, ermine, river otter and the little brown bat. Introduced species include Sitka blacktailed deer, snowshoe hare, beaver, and the chatty red squirrel. If you look up on the mountains, you may see a small heard of shaggy mountain goats grazing on the steep slopes. And if you’re driving along the road system to Narrow Cape, be prepared for an unexpected encounter with Highland cows, who often roam freely and add to the charm of the landscape. Whale watching in the Kodiak Archipelago is world-class. Many charter boat operators that specialize in wildlife viewing and photography will point out several varieties of whales, sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, puffins, porpoises, and sea cliffs covered with nesting Black-legged Kittiwakes and other nesting seabirds. High on everyone’s list is seeing the colorful Horned or Tufted Puffins, also known as “sea parrots,” for their large colorful beaks. The thrill of seeing a bald eagle never grows old and over 600 nesting pairs have been recorded in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge alone. Eagles are spotted throughout the calendar year and during winter congregate downtown to scavenge food from off- loading fishing boats. Photography opportunities abound! For those who prefer to stay on land for their marine wildlife viewing, there are plenty of beaches and viewpoints perfect for spotting whale spouts and flukes. Beachcombing and tide pooling reveals unique creatures including anemones, sea stars, sea urchins, jellyfish, and countless other aquatic life species. To learn more about Kodiak’s aquatic critters including our five species of Pacific Salmon, head over to Near Island to the Fisheries Research Center and check out the displays, touch tank and aquarium. If your desire for wild things leans more toward stalking wildflowers, you will be very busy on Kodiak Island. About 670 species of plants have been identified here and once you leave the city limits; you will be surrounded by native species of plants. A camera and field guide are a must to include in your daypack. With the abundance of moisture coupled with moderate temperatures and long summer days, plant life thrives. A variety of habitats are accessible from the road system to enjoy our plant life from the beaches and coastal meadows to the Sitka spruce forest and mountain ridges. Coastal meadows have an abundance of wildflowers that includes wild iris, lupines, native orchids, shooting stars, wild geraniums, and wild roses. But be aware of brushing up against the large leaves of the cow parsnip (locally referred to as “pushki”) on sunny days, as it can deliver blisters to bare skin. Late summer and fall bring the bounty of Kodiak’s fruit-bearing plants, including salmonberries, blueberries, and low-bush cranberries. These tasty treats are a favorite of not only humans but also birds and bears, making for a truly wild experience. Kodiak is a place where the natural world thrives in all its forms, and every corner of the island offers a new adventure for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re exploring the land or the sea, there’s no shortage of wonders to discover. KODIAK.ORG | 13 Photos on pages 12 & 13 by Shane Parker, Mari Stern, Bob Tucker, Arwa Moore, Denise Link

Visitors often have the chance to chat with local fishermen as they go about their daily work, offering a glimpse into the bustling life of this vibrant fishing community. 20 | 2025 KODIAK, AK VISITORS GUIDE THE ECONOMY Photos on pages 20 & 21 by Diana Mills, Christina Voight, Discover Kodiak Staff, Maria Mauricio TAKING CARE OF THE FLEET
The fishing fleet is always coming and going to deliver fish, and head out for another catch. The Port of Kodiak is the state’s largest and most diverse fishing port and is consistently ranked among the nation’s top four commercial fishing centers. Many of the 600+ boats in Kodiak’s fleet are locally owned and pass-through families for generations. The U.S. Coast Guard is always ready to assist the fishing fleet and other mariners, with its largest base situated just south of the City of Kodiak. From this strategic location, the Coast Guard deploys a variety of assets, including ships, helicopters, and aircraft, to carry out patrols and rescue operations across Alaska’s vast waters. In addition to search-and-rescue missions, the Coast Guard plays a vital role in communications, navigation support, fisheries enforcement, and marine safety, fulfilling a broad range of responsibilities to ensure the safety and security of the region. KODIAK.ORG | 21 Here in Kodiak, the call of the sea is strong.

KODIAK.ORG 23 The Alutiiq Museum is Kodiak’s youngest cultural organization, but it tells one of the region’s oldest stories. Founded in 1995, this Alaska Native non-profit preserves and shares the heritage of the Alutiiq / Sugpiaq people—Kodiak residents for over 7,500 years. The museum is a culture center, a research hub, and a visitor attraction. Here, people of all heritages participate in programs exploring Alutiiq traditions. A recent renovation expanded the museum’s public spaces and opportunities for engagement. In a colorful exhibit hall, visitors find displays tied to Alutiiq values—the stewardship of lands, family, and heritage. Artifacts, photographs, and contemporary art share Alutiiq history and traditions. A complete 19thcentury kayak is among the most popular. Each display helps visitors imagine the past while showcasing the vibrant Native culture of today. Another essential stop is the Alutiiq Museum Store featuring the work of Alutiiq and local artists. The store sells handmade creations reflecting the Alutiiq world and helps to perpetuate beading, skin sewing, carving, and other cultural arts. Every sale fuels additional expression and education. For those who want to dig deeper, the second-floor Koniag Cultural Library holds nearly 4,000 volumes on Alaska Native heritage and the Kodiak environment. The library has many unique reference items. It is publicly accessible during museum business hours. Just behind the museum lies the Alutiiq Ancestors’ Memorial. End your tour of Native heritage with a visit to this city park honoring the Alutiiq people. Signs discuss the repatriation of ancestral remains and a memorial arch records each ancestor brought home. Then rest on benches with a stunning view of Chiniak Bay and reflect on the value of understanding community history.

While most of Kodiak’s population resides in the city and nearby areas, there are villages in the Kodiak Archipelago that are windows to the past and models of modern subsistence lifestyle. The villages are not accessible by car and require careful planning if they are on your itinerary, but visitors are rewarded with a glimpse into Alaska that is seldom seen by most tourists. Shane Parker CAMA’I hello from the Villages explore the islands 24 | 2025 KODIAK, AK VISITORS GUIDE Photos on pages 24 & 25 by Nina Krumrey,
KODIAK.ORG | 25 AKHIOK Akhiok is the most remote village on the island. During summer the grassy hills and flatlands that surround the town turn emerald green and burst with colorful wildflowers. It enjoys a strong sockeye and pink salmon run in its rivers and streams. Ancient Alutiiq petroglyphs are preserved nearby. AFOGNAK ISLAND The second largest island in the Kodiak Archipelago, Afognak Island has long been known for its excellent hunting and fishing. Protected bays and majestic mountains make it a spectacular place to visit. Wildlife abounds here. The island, along with Raspberry and Etolin Islands, are the only islands that host Roosevelt Elk herds in Alaska. The Kodiak brown bear lives there as well. Petroglyphs that mark rock faces surrounding the old village stand as silent witness to a once thriving community. Several lodges and charter services are available for fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, or quiet retreats on both Afognak and Raspberry islands. KARLUK Throughout the 19th century Karluk, located on Kodiak’s southwest coast, was known as the site of the world’s largest red salmon run and operated the largest cannery in the world. The village continues to be a popular fishing destination for the adventurous angler seeking king and sockeye salmon. The Kodiak bear holds a strong presence here. More than 46 registered archaeological sites along the Karluk River hold evidence of the original inhabitants. LARSEN BAY Larsen Bay is situated in a scenic valley on a narrow fjord. Larsen Bay is at the very center of commercial and sport fishing activity on Kodiak Island’s west side. Beautiful waterfront lodges lure anglers from around the world. The abundance of wildlife near Larsen Bay attracts visitors interested in viewing the Kodiak brown bear, seals, puffins, sea lions, eagles and fox in their natural habitat. PORT LIONS Located on the north end of Kodiak Island, Port Lions was established in 1964 after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami destroyed Afognak Village. Residents of Afognak made the move to Port Lions with the help of the Kodiak Lions Club; thereby establishing its name. Commercial fishing is the main economy of the community, along with tourism. There are active lodges which provide fishing and hunting excursions, as well as several bed and breakfasts. Port Lions is accessible by boat, small plane or the Alaska Marine Highway System. Travelers enjoy the stunning scenery, hunting, fishing, and wildlife throughout Kizhuyak Bay and surrounding area, as well as the 3⁄4-mile-long walk bridge that spans Settler’s Cove for exploration. OUZINKIE Ouzinkie is a quiet little settlement located on the southwest shore of Spruce Island. The Church of the Nativity, built in 1898, is tucked in a cove of spruce trees and a network of wooden boardwalks offers a unique means to explore. Spruce Island was home to St. Herman, the first canonized Russian Orthodox saint in North America. St. Herman’s chapel is located at Monk’s Lagoon. Charter services are available for fishing on Spruce Island. OLD HARBOR Among the most picturesque of Kodiak Island villages, Old Harbor is nestled on a narrow strip of beach at the foot of a steep, grassy mountain. Because of its abundant waters, Old Harbor is every angler’s dream. It is also a great destination for wildlife viewing with large sea mammal haul-outs and the archipelago’s largest puffin colony. Just south of Old Harbor is Three Saints Bay, site of the first Russian settlement. Historic Three Saints Russian Orthodox Church is the striking centerpiece of the village. Local charter boat operators offer custom sightseeing, kayaking, fishing, and hunting excursions. Lodging is available.
kodiak’s dramatic history TALES of the Past 26 | 2025 KODIAK, AK VISITORS GUIDE History buffs will find themselves a little slice of heaven in Kodiak. The Archipelago is rich in native culture, Russian history, World War II installations and dramatic natural disasters. Photos on pages 26 & 27 by Nina Krumrey, Stacey Simmons
Until the mid-18th century, the Alutiiq people enjoyed an undisturbed life in the Kodiak Archipelago. Everything they needed was here: waters rich in fish, seals, whales, and sea lions; land bursting with berries, birds, and mammals. For thousands of years, they lived in harmony with all that the sea and earth provided. Their peaceful life came to an end in 1784 when Russian settlers initiated an economy based on compulsory labor. Kodiak quickly became the commercial center for Russian fur trade and Alutiiq natives were used to hunt sea otters for benefit of the company. The treatment of the Alutiiq people was ruthless. The Russian American governor, Aleksandr A. Baranov, served in Kodiak for 34 years before leaving the island. Kodiak and other settlements began to falter as the sea otter populations declined which led to the United States purchasing Alaska from the Russians in 1867. With the sea otter population compromised, salmon became the economic staple. By the 1890s, canneries dotted the islands. Commercial fishing remains the economic mainstay of Kodiak. The most prominent legacy of the Russian era is the Russian orthodox religion. With its distinctive blue cupolas, the Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Cathedral is a prominent fixture in downtown Kodiak and hosts an active congregation to this day. VOLCANOES, EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS AND WAR Kodiak is no stranger to dramatic shifts in the landscape. In 1912 the people of Kodiak experienced the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century when Mt. Novarupta on the Alaska Peninsula. Nearly two feet of ash fell on Kodiak and its 500 residents. The “white sand” you see at many Kodiak beaches is volcanic ash laid down by this eruption. Kodiak’s landscape changed once again when it became a major staging area for North Pacific operations during World War II. Bunkers and gun emplacements were built at Chiniak, Long Island, and Ft. Abercrombie. Many of these structures are visible from the road and on trails throughout the island. Even a world war and the volcanic eruption was no match for the devastation that resulted from the largest earthquake in North American history. In 1964, a 9.2 magnitude temblor rocked Alaska. It triggered a series of tsunamis that devastated downtown Kodiak. Fishing boats vessels were tossed into the streets, buildings destroyed, and people displaced. The Army Corps of Engineers redesigned downtown into what you see today. KODIAK.ORG | 27
