After a hearty breakfast, we’ll gather our gear and head out for an exciting day on the water. We’ll meet our captain at the harbor and board our comfortable, custom-built boat designed for smooth sailing and great views. With plenty of deck space and a spacious cabin, you’ll have unobstructed views from anywhere on the boat— perfect for wildlife observation and photography. Our day-long cruise takes us on a scenic route, where we’ll be on the lookout for whales, sea otters, sea lions, puffins, and with any luck, world-famous Kodiak bears along the shoreline. Boxed lunches, snacks, and beverages will be provided to keep everyone energized.

After a full day on the water, we’ll return to our lodging to rest and regroup. We’ll check the aurora forecast and keep our fingers crossed for northern lights!

We have two fulls days to explore Kodiak’s road system by van and on foot with nature walks interspersed throughout. We’ll be on the lookout for an array of species from fox to weasels and eagle to fishing bears. We could stumble upon anything around any corner. Spectacular views abound. Each evening, we’ll continue to watch for aurora activity, and our last night together will include a farewell dinner.

Yes, it’s our final day in Alaska. Before our afternoon flights home, we’ll head out one last time to (hopefully) spot some bears, check the harbor for sea lions, and search for some of the other wild goodies we’ve come to know and love on this island. It’s not goodbye, but rather see you later.
