If you go down to the Kodiak woods today ...

Kodiak is generally considered an expensive place to visit yet a reasonably-priced holiday is possible for those prepared to rough it a little. The camping sites tend to be found at romantic, hideaway spots. In Fort Abercrombie State Park, the whale trails along the foreland are free of charge and those who tread them have an excellent chance of spotting one of the giant mammals spouting across the bay. Lucky visitors might even catch sight of a whale leaping out the water majestically - an experience of a lifetime for any nature fan.
