Kodiak (USA) Destination Information

Kodiak Information with Cheap Flights Booker

Kodiak, Alaska’s “Emerald Island”, or, more accurately put, “Emerald Archipelago”, is truly a masterpiece, lovingly created by mother nature herself. Its rolling hills, sharp cliffs and peaks, fjord-like bays, and u-shaped valleys were all carved out of the landscape 20,000 years ago by the immense glaciers that covered almost the entire archipelago. Most tourists visit during the green, summer months, but winter travel is also a great option due to Kodiak’s mild winters created by the warm Japanese trade winds. Outdoor activities are most popular in this part of the world; viewing the famous Kodiak bears, bird-watching, whale watching, camping and hiking are all amazing. Puffins and Black Oyster Catchers are common birds to behold in Kodiak, and whales, sea lions and sea otters are just a few of the marine animals around for the traveler to appreciate. Fishing, Kayaking, and Camping Kodiak is a fisher’s paradise. You can spend days in the sun fishing for cod, halibut, and 5 species of salmon among others. Shuyak Island State Park is very popular for kayaking. Small coves, calm channels, and open seas are there just waiting to be explored. Tranquil inner bays are perfect for beginning kayakers, while outer coasts call out the experts. There are 3 state locations available for camping: Buskin River State Recreation Site, Pasagshak River State Recreation Site, and Fort Abercrombie State Historic Park. A permit for these areas is $10 per night. There are also several private campgrounds available.
