Discover one of the world’s last wild places
Imagine traveling all the way to Alaska, then going even farther… to a small, windswept island in the Bering Sea. St. Paul Island is raw and rich with wildlife, especially birds and seals. When you journey here, you leave the crush of tourists and souvenir shops behind. What you’ll find instead is authentic Unangan culture, wide-open spaces and the breathtaking beauty of nature.
Migratory Bird Capital
Our remote location in the ocean between two continents makes St. Paul Island an ideal point of land for migrating and nesting birds. At least 319 species have been recorded on the island, which is the most of any single site in Alaska. This list includes many very rare birds for North America. St. Paul Island is a birder’s paradise!
Our Culture & Heritage
Let us take you back in time by visiting historical sites where remains of traditional barabaras can still be seen. Barabaras were semisubterranean dwellings used by both Russians and Unangax on St. Paul Island until the late 1870s. They were constructed of soil with sod roofs to withstand the high winds of the Bering Sea weather.
