Kuiu Island

Geography

Part of the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska, Kuiu Island is located between Kupreanof Island and Baranof Island, with the Frederick Sound to its north.

Significance

Kuiu Island is less known to the general public but is significant for its untouched wilderness, dense temperate rainforest, and abundant wildlife, making it a prime spot for nature enthusiasts.

Attractions

The island's remote wilderness offers a habitat for a high density of Alaska brown bears, black-tailed deer, and other wildlife. Its coastal areas are home to sea otters, seals, and whales.

Activities

Wildlife viewing, especially for brown bears, sea kayaking along sheltered bays and coves, and fishing. The island's isolation makes it perfect for adventurers looking for a more off-the-beaten-path experience.
