Not much chance of getting lost, there's nothing between Kodiak and Hawaii. It could be an interesting way to travel, unfortunately there is no scheduled service. Kodiak, the sixth largest city in Alaska, still has a population of only 7,000 and a total 14,000 in the borough. Kodiak is one of the largest fishing ports in the world, most of the residents are directly or indirectly employed in the fishing industry. The Chamber of Commerce and Visitor's Bureau has put together a very good web site with lots of information about Kodiak.
Activities center around the outdoors.
Fishing and boating are the most popular. There are many historical and acheological sites in the area. It possible to volunteer to join an archeological dig. You are always welcome to join the Audobon Society on the weekly day hikes around the area. Events are organized around the interests of the community, so each summer we have a carnival, a music festival, a rodeo, and the like.
