Search flights from ANC to ADQ
Mount Redoubt
An active, 10,197-foot stratovolcano that dominates the western horizon across the Cook Inlet.
Mount Iliamna
A prominent snow-covered volcano known for its frequent steam plumes from high-altitude fumaroles.
Augustine Volcano
A perfectly conical volcanic island rising directly out of the sea within the Cook Inlet.
Katmai Coastline
The wild, untouched shores of Katmai National Park, famous for its dense brown bear population.
The Emerald Isle
Kodiak's signature lush, green mountains appear vividly during the descent into ADQ.
The right side is the 'Volcano Side.' For the best lighting on these massive peaks, choose an afternoon or evening flight when the sun illuminates the western faces. Ensure you are seated away from the wing (rows 1-5 or 15+) for an unobstructed view of Augustine Island as you fly past.

Kenai Mountains
Dramatic views of the glaciated peaks stretching along the Kenai Peninsula shortly after departure.
Harding Icefield
A glimpse of the massive 700-square-mile ice expanse that feeds numerous glaciers in Kenai Fjords.
Kachemak Bay
The sparkling waters near Homer, often visible as the flight transitions toward the Shelikof Strait.
Kodiak City
Aerial views of the fishing fleet and the urban center of Kodiak during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Kenai glaciers. This side is also preferred if the flight path tracks closer to the Kenai coastline, providing a better look at the fjords. Keep an eye out for humpback whale spouts in the Shelikof Strait during summer months.
