KODIAK.ORG | 5 FERRY RESERVATIONS (800) 642-0066 ferryalaska.com WINGS OVER KODIAK Flying is second nature to Kodiak Island Archipelago. Scheduled air service is available between the Kodiak airport and the villages of Akhiok, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie and Port Lions. Air taxis (float planes and wheeled planes) whisk visitors to remote lodges and out for hunting and fishing expeditions. A flight to a remote part of the Kodiak area is a great way to see both spectacular scenery and wildlife. HAVE WHEELS? Whether you bring your own vehicle or rent one when you get here, you can explore over 100 miles of scenic roadway. Many visitors like to drive the entire road system. Pack a lunch and your favorite fishing pole and get ready for a great day. You will pass areas for photo ops, hiking trail heads, river and stream fishing opportunities and WWII historic sites. 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. Photos by Kris Luckenbach, Nicholas Larghi
