Sightseeing & Wildlife Cruise

Sail and Explore Kodiak’s Marine Life Board your seafaring vessel for a wildlife cruise around Kodiak and its barrier islands. Meet your crew and step aboard your vessel. Then, glide onto the water in search of local wildlife, taking in the views of Kodiak’s rugged coastline and listening as your guide shares stories of Kodiak’s history. Depart the harbor and head for nearby seabird rookeries, where you will see an abundance of tufted and horned puffins and kittiwakes nesting on sheer, windswept cliffs. Gaze up at Sitka spruce trees for a chance to spot majestic bald eagles nesting in their branches. Pass small islands and witness their remaining World War II gunneries. As you continue your quest for marine wildlife, you will soon come across playful sea otters, sea lions and porpoises. Keep your eyes peeled for whales; humpback, orca and minke are all regularly spotted in these waters. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
