Twenty thousand years ago most of the 5,000 square mile Kodiak Island Archipelago was covered by glaciers that scored and carved the landscape. Jagged peaks, fjord-like bays, and wide U-shaped valleys were left by the glacial retreat.
Nature’s handiwork created a place of spectacular scenic beauty and a wilderness ideally suited for abundant land and marine life. The magnificent Kodiak bear grows strong and healthy here. Salmon, halibut and rockfish populate the streams, rivers and seas. Whales breach far off the coastline or swim alongside adventuresome kayakers. Wild berries surprise hikers along island trails.
On Kodiak Island, you can step away from civilization and rediscover nature in its purest, unruined form. Here you can slow to the tempo and timbre of wilderness and appreciate silence punctuated only by the wound of waves breaking on the shore or the music of nearby birds.
Whether you choose an active adventure full of fishing, hiking, kayaking or flightseeing, or simply soak in the scenery and quietly walk the beaches, in Kodiak you know you have finally found the authentic Alaska.
