Frequently Asked Questions
At a pier within walking distance of downtown. Kodiak's compact streets take an hour or two to cover, and everything is concentrated there: museums, the Orthodox church, tackle shops and cafes where crews come to warm up.
In two to three hours: downtown, the Erskine House museum and the Orthodox church. With half a day, add Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, about ten minutes by taxi, and the wildlife refuge visitor centre.
For its vegetation. The second-largest island in the United States, it is green enough to have earned the nickname, contrary to the image of a rocky Alaska. It also hosts one of the country's most productive fishing ports.
Yes, and a significant one: Kodiak was the first capital of Russian America, before the colonial seat moved to Sitka. Erskine House, built in the early 19th century as a Russian-American Company warehouse, is among the oldest Russian-origin buildings on the west coast.
The voice of the people who have lived in this archipelago for thousands of years. Harpoons, kayaks, ceremonial masks and language revitalization programs make a living portrait rather than a frozen display. It is a quiet stop that changes how you see the surrounding bays and mountains.
Not from town, and it is better to know that before going ashore. The Kodiak bear, among the largest brown bear subspecies in the world, rules the national wildlife refuge covering most of the island. Actually seeing one requires a floatplane flight, offered as an excursion when the call is long enough. The refuge visitor centre downtown explains the ecosystem without leaving the ship far behind.
A state historical park a few kilometres north of downtown, where Second World War bunkers and gun emplacements, built against a feared Japanese attack, sit within a coastal Sitka spruce forest perched above the cliffs. The trails give viewpoints where sea otters sometimes pass.
Holy Resurrection Church, recognizable by its blue domes, right beside Erskine House. It is a reminder that Orthodox faith has been alive here for more than two centuries, a direct legacy of the Russian period.
Yes, for families who like working harbours. The trawlers and crabbers in the basins, the wildlife refuge visitor centre and the Fort Abercrombie trails fill a day nicely. Do not look for beaches or attractions: Kodiak is a working Alaska.
The US dollar, cards accepted. As for weather, expect rain and wind even in summer: the island owes its green to its climate. A rain jacket and solid shoes beat an umbrella.
