This exclusive, 1-hour Scenic Floatplane flight will include flying over Afognak Island to view the village of Afognak (washed out in the 1964 tidal wave) and the Danger Bay logging camp.

Experience the thrill of landing in Kitoi Bay teaming with pink salmon returning to spawn. Hatchery crew laying out net pens while commercial fishermen begin to yield a harvest.  Wherever there are salmon, there are brown bears, and they are easily viewed from the deck of the floatplane.

Land

This comprehensive 4-Hour Island City-Tour is a great way to see and learn about Kodiak, note the whereabouts of the museums, restaurants and gift stores and, whatever your interest, head back at your leisure and spend more time browsing. 

A drive through downtown showcases cannery row and the commercial fish canneries, St. Paul’s Harbor and the Mall for unique gift stores and restaurants. The it is up the hill to Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Cathedral and seminary, history of the world-class museums: Alutiiq Museum, the Baranov Museum, Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center; then cross over the Near Island Bridge to the Fisheries Research Center and touch tank and St. Herman’s Harbor. 

Through the neighborhoods of Mission Road and Rezanof Street, the guide then enters Ft. Abercrombie State Historical Park.  Here is an opportunity to view the military’s presence during World War II as it remains a legacy amongst the moss-covered Sitka spruce trees and beautifully kept recreational park (hiking, birding, tide pooling and camping).  Weather permitting, no tour would be complete without a stop at a vista point.

Sea

While the Signature Tour provides you with a glimpse of the landscape by air and land, now let us capture the essence of the island by sea.    The captain charts the course for this 3-Hour harbor cruise with an abundance of marine wildlife on nearby islands: Steller sea lions, darling sea otters mingling in the kelp, birds galore such as tufted and horned puffins, kittiwakes and bald eagles perched and looking regal. 

From the largest marine mammals in Kodiak waters – baleen whales (fin, gray, sei, humpback, and minke) and orca whales – if the captain can find their trail, our guests all agree, the harbor cruise was one of the best!

Plus...A Museum Pass

Kodiak Island has several world-class museums.  Because each one is filled with fascinating history, heritage and lore, you get to decide which one (of the three) to submerge your-self in for an hour or so.  Sure glad we don’t have to choose for you!  If time permits after your Island City-Tour, ask the tour guide to drop you off at the front door.

1) “Cama’i ~ Hello” from the Alutiiq Museum which preserves and shares the traditions of Kodiak Island’s first settlers, the Alutiiq people. This state-of-the-art facility features a display gallery, storage for sensitive artifacts, and a research laboratory.  Exhibits of artifacts, photographs, and contemporary art explore Alutiiq heritage, and illustrate how traditions continue in the twenty first century. This summer, the museum will feature “Giinaquq: Like a Face- an exhibition of rare ceremonial masks collected from Kodiak Alutiiq communities in 1872.” The exhibition is collaboration with Chateaux Musée of Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, who cares for the masks today.  The museum has a wonderful gift shop showcasing native handcrafted art, jewelry and apparel.

2) The Baranov Museum is celebrating their 200th year with special events throughout the spring and summer. 

The oldest Russian-era (1784-1867) structure remaining in Alaska is the three-story log building known as the Erskine House, named after Wilbur J. Erskine who purchased the house in 1911.The original name for the building – Baranov - is related to its historic use, the first administrative center of the Russian empire in North America, the Russian-American Company.

Since 1954, the Kodiak Historical Society has collected approximately 2,100 objects of Kodiak’s natural and cultural heritage, along with approximately 22,000 archived photographs and documents for display in the museum. The museum has a wonderful gift shop with authentic art and crafts made in Russia.

3) Kodiak Military History Museum is located at Miller Point inside Ft. Abercrombie State Historical Park.    Open Saturday and Sunday 1 to 4 PM or by appointment.

Started in 1999, the museum maintains a central repository and archive to preserve and exhibit military related records, photographs, documents, technology, and equipment.  Restoring an ammunition bunker into this unique museum, the volunteers promote and educate visitors on the result the military presence has been on Kodiak Island.
