Kodiak, Alaska

Kodiak is located on the eastern coast of Kodiak Island - the second largest island in the United States. Guests will quickly see why this location is referred to as Emerald Isle with large swaths of untouched, pristine forests and meadows blanketing the mountainous landscape. More than 200 species of bird call Kodiak Island home, as well as the famous Kodiak bears, mountain goats, elk and more. The surrounding waters are as rich in wildlife as on land with halibut, salmon, harbour seals, sea lions, sea otters, whales and others traversing its icy waters. Whether you prefer to tour by land or by water, spectacular vistas and abundant wildlife await your discovery.
