SIX WAYS TO MEET KODIAK’S WILD SIDE

NEW FOR THE 2027 SEASON

From searching for Kodiak brown bears near Kitoi Bay Hatchery to spotting whales, sea otters, sea lions, and seabirds along our rugged coastline, there's plenty to discover. Explore by small-group boat, coastal wildlife cruise, fly-out bear viewing, or scenic flightseeing tour with experienced local crews who know the island we call home.

Every adventure is different, with wildlife sightings shaped by nature rather than a schedule.
