About

Called the Best of Kodiak for a reason! This is a combination of our two flagship tours that will have you enthralled! Enjoy masterful storytelling, historic sites, and engaging conversations as you explore Kodiak's History, Culture, Fishing Industry and more. Plus, enjoy a savings over booking the two separately.

Visit the bustling docks in one of the nation's busiest commercial fishing ports. Here we delve deep into the world of the Alaska Commercial Fisherman and rub shoulders with Kodiak fishermen. We may watch them mending nets, baiting hooks, or stacking corks as we inquire about their season and lifestyle. Hear stories of booms and busts, earthquakes and tsunamis, and life and death at sea. After the docks, visit National Historic Landmarks, learn of saints and sinners, traditional and contemporary ways as we skillfully mix stories from the archives with current events.

Your guide has worked as a commercial fisherman, worked in research of several Alaskan fisheries, and has a combined 20 years working for the Kodiak Maritime Museum and the Kodiak History Museum. She will guide you with expert knowledge, passion, and true personal stories of life on this Alaskan Island. Your tour will connect you to the people, places, and stories of Kodiak in an authentic and meaningful way.
