Plan your trip

A trip to Cold Bay takes some planning.

It's remote, weather-driven, and small — that's the whole point. Here's how to arrive prepared.

01

Choose your season

May–July for birds and bears. August–October for hunts and silvers. November–April for winter wildlife and northern skies.

02

Book a flight to CDB

Cold Bay is served by scheduled Part 121 airlines from Anchorage plus air charters from around the peninsula.

03

Reserve a lodge or guide

Lodges book out well ahead for prime hunting and fishing windows. Reserve at least 3–6 months out for peak season.

04

Pack for weather

Wind and rain, always. Layer with waterproof shell, insulation, good boots, and gloves regardless of the month.
