KODIAK OR bust Photos on pages 4 & 5 by Andrew Sharp, Jac Whitmire, Kris Luckenbach Flying to Kodiak is simple. Most visitors connect through Anchorage and continue to the island on Alaska Airlines, enjoying a short and scenic flight over mountains, coastline, and the Gulf of Alaska. If you have extra time, consider traveling on the Alaska Marine Highway. With staterooms, dining rooms, lounges, and open decks perfect for wildlife viewing, the ferry offers a relaxed and memorable way to see more of Alaska before reaching Kodiak. Reservations should be made early—especially if you plan to bring a vehicle. Kodiak also attracts yachters from around the world. The municipal harbor welcomes vessels up to 200 feet and serves as a gateway to remote bays, sheltered anchorages, and quiet coves throughout the archipelago. Flying is second nature in the Kodiak Island Archipelago. Scheduled service connects the Kodiak airport with the villages of Akhiok, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port Lions. Air taxis—both floatplanes and wheel planes—carry visitors to remote lodges, fishing spots, and bear-viewing locations. A flight into Kodiak’s backcountry is one of the best ways to take in its rugged mountains, salmon-filled rivers, and incredible wildlife. your journey to Kodiak 4 | 2026 KODIAK, AK VISITORS GUIDE
