How Many Days in Kodiak?

Minimum Stay

2 days/3 nights. Because Kodiak is hard to reach, plan to spend some time. You’ll want to do at least one wildlife tour and then explore the island on your own. But don’t shy away from staying longer.

• Flightseeing (1–2 hours)
• Bear-viewing tours (4–5 hours)
• Whale-watching tours (3 hours–full day)
