Kodiak Island is a top destination for fishing, Brown Bear viewing and wide range of marine mammals, migratory birds, and wildlife that call the Kodiak home. Our workshops really are in the Alaskan wilderness.

With accommodation and food included, you can relax and enjoy the environment around our lodge in Larsen Bay or at our camp (“glamping”) on banks of the Ayakulik Valley River. Maybe explore the interior backcountry close to Talkeetna at our lodge close to Denali.

While looking for fish, this bear decided to have a bit of swim as well. Great to watch while out and about on Kodiak Island. One of the big giveaways at finding bears feeding is the local seagull and magpie.

If you’re a photographer, you know how important it is to have your camera accessible at all times. But carrying your camera around your neck or in a bag can be uncomfortable and awkward, especially if you need your hands free for other tasks. That’s where the Cotton Carrier Camera Harness comes in.
Planning a wildlife adventure in Alaska requires careful consideration of the best times to visit. In this blog post, we will explore the optimal seasons and key factors that contribute to unforgettable encounters with Alaska’s magnificent wildlife.
Looking for a tranquil and serene spot to spend your next holiday?
Or perhaps you’re after your next photo adventure to shoot unique wildlife and breathtaking natural landscape?
Whether you’re an intrepid traveler, an adventurer, a passionate wildlife photographer, or a mix of them all, a trip to Kodiak Island in America’s Last Frontier won’t disappoint!
Alaska offers a diverse range of experiences throughout the year, so the best time to visit depends on your preferences and interests. Here are some considerations for different seasons in Alaska
Photojournalism is one component that can be overlooked when capturing wildlife. It is easy to use a long lens and focus on the animal in front of you.
