(A) How to get here.
Your local travel agent can make arrangements for flights between your home town and the City of Kodiak.
Round trip travel from the City of Kodiak to the lodge and/or the camp is provided as part of your trip. This travel is accomplished in chartered float planes. Your charter flight will leave Kodiak for the Lodge or camp at 9:00 AM. You should plan to be available in Kodiak, either at your hotel lobby or the airport lobby with your bags packed and ready to go, no later than 8:00 AM on the day your trip begins.
Most people choose to over night in Kodiak on the evening before their trip begins. The Kodiak Inn (888 563-4254 or 907 486-5712) and the Shelikof Lodge (907 486-4141) are both fine hotels. A great source for more lodging options and things to do while in the City of Kodiak is the Kodiak Island Convention and Visitors Bureau web site, www.kodiak.org
If your travel plans won't allow for an overnight in Kodiak, it is also possible to get flights from Anchorage to Kodiak early in the morning. Be careful here, try not to book your transfers too tightly. If your bags don't make it to Kodiak with you, the float plane charter will not be able to wait for them. You may be faced with the expensive proposition of flying your bags and/or yourself to the camp at a later time.

As soon as you reach the City of Kodiak, contact Andrew Airways at (907)487-2566. Andrew Airways is the sea plane charter service that will be flying you to the lodge or camp. It is important that they know where to find you and they can inform you of any last minute preparations. They will be expecting your call.
Home bound you will depart the lodge or camp at 11:00 AM and arrive in Kodiak at noon. As flights are quite often delayed due to weather, it's best not to plan departures from Kodiak until mid afternoon. Remember that Kodiak Island is a very remote location and travel here may be quite different than it is where you live. Please leave yourself as much time as possible when booking your transfers into and out of Kodiak.
If your travel plans simply will not allow you to make the above mentioned schedule, we can arrange special charter flights to accommodate you, at your own expense.
When your travel arrangements are complete, please send us a copy of your itinerary including hotel reservations. This information will help us to coordinate the services we provide and to spot possible problems.
