“What should I bring?”

Media CAMERA:

Point & shoot cameras work fine to capture scenery, but if you want close up shots you should plan on bringing a camera with a zoom lens. The most typical and recommended is the 75-300mm zoom lens. Batteries (spare or fully charged) Extra Film / Memory Cards / Videotape

Clothing

A typical Kodiak summer day the temperature tends to be in the mid 50’s. Rain & wind can make a 50-degree day feel like 35 or 40 degrees, so it is important to dress in layers. Also, the high temperatures in the summer can reach up to 75 degrees. It is best to dress in layers, so that you can be adaptable to changes in weather, and more comfortable during the hiking portion of the trip.
