To truly understand the purity of the wilderness, take a trip to Kodiak Island and book a stay at an Alaskan lodge. Roughly 250 miles south of Anchorage, Kodiak Island is home to the world's largest bears. The waters that surround Kodiak Island swim with all 4 varieties of salmon, halibut, sea ducks, and other rich marine life. You'll find trophy Sitka deer running through lush forests fed by crystal blue streams. Alaskan lodges offer nature at its best.
The economy of Kodiak Island has always centered on fishing, as far back as when the Alutiq tribal people thrived on its rich troves of salmon and halibut. These days, many Alaskan lodges cater to the fishing crowd, featuring many private fishing spots where you can dip your rod all day and never see a single soul. Salmon is a staple on the menu at just about every Alaska lodge, cooked up by a gourmet chef like you've never had it. If you should be lucky enough to catch a Grand Slam — all 4 species of salmon caught on the same rod on the same day, you can ask your gourmet chef to personally prepare it to your taste. There's nothing like eating a gourmet meal that you caught with your own pole.
Whether you prefer fishing, bear watching, or are just a tried and true nature lover, Alaskan lodges deliver nature as it was meant to be. Get away from the city, cars and the hustle and bustle of the world. Experience the wilderness of Alaska in the comfort of an Alaskan lodge. This is scenery served up in splendor with all the comfort of civilization. Only accessible by boat or plane, an Alaska lodge on Kodiak Island is a great way to escape the weight of the world.
Even if you don't have a sufficient traveling experience, guided tours and day excursions allow you to discover really Greenland wilderness during the day and sleep in a luxury bed at night.
