This large island is separated from the mainland by the Shelikof Strait. Here are some things to do in Kodiak. Read on for more information. And remember to bring your camera. The scenery is incredible. Once you&#8217;ve seen the sights, you&#8217;ll be ready to plan your trip to Kodiak Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to visit the local museums while on your trip. Visiting Kodiak Island is a great way to learn more about the history of the area and its native inhabitants. The Kodiak Maritime Museum, also known as the &#8220;museum without walls,&#8221; features maritime displays above the docks. There&#8217;s a wealth of information on the island&#8217;s abundant marine resources and commercial fishing industry. The Holy Resurrection Church is another historical landmark worth checking out. Built in 1808, it is the oldest surviving building in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of places to stay on Kodiak, from bed and breakfasts to remote lodges. Many of these places feature stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. However, if you&#8217;re looking for a more remote place to stay, Kodiak offers several state parks and private campgrounds where you can camp for the night. During your stay, you can also participate in various activities including whale watching, fishing, and hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to Kodiak Island is a great way to experience the unique culture and flora and fauna. Locals are particularly friendly and welcoming. The area is known as the &#8220;Emerald Isle&#8221; for its lush greenery, and offers unlimited outdoor activities. Visiting the island is a unique experience, and you&#8217;ll feel welcomed by locals and tourists alike. You&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the people who live on Kodiak Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For history buffs, Kodiak has plenty to offer. Visitors can visit the Kodiak Military History Museum, located in the former Ready Ammunition Bunker of Fort Abercrombie. You&#8217;ll also get a chance to see some of the city&#8217;s WWII history, including the relics of a World War II naval base. If you&#8217;re planning a family vacation to Kodiak Island, don&#8217;t miss these historic attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing in Kodiak Island is second to none. You can catch salmon, trout, and other species of fish. King salmon are 50 to 90 pounds and can be caught throughout the year. Silver salmon come in late August and are plentiful in the spring and summer. Silver salmon can be caught into September if they feed on baitfish. Sockeye and Chum salmon are also common in Kodiak. While you&#8217;ll never run out of opportunities to catch salmon, Kodiak is home to a variety of freshwater streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go hiking on the islands in Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, which contains seven major rivers and around 100 streams. It is an important habitat for Pacific Ocean salmon and serves as a breeding ground for more than 250 species of birds. Six native animal species live in Kodiak. In the 1920s, the first people to bring these animals to the islands were the Sitka deer, mountain goats, and beavers. The people of Kodiak Island still maintain a tradition of living off the land, but many have adopted the traditions of the natives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re planning a vacation to the beautiful state of Alaska, then you have to consider spending a few days or more at Kodiak Island.
