5Great experience
Excellent tour. Maddie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The 2 hour tour was the perfect length to see the water, land, and lots of wildlife.
5Highlight of our trip!
Davey and Lindsey (ando Coco the dog) were super friendly, as well as knowledgeable. We learned a lot and saw so much more than I expected! We saw two kinds of puffins plus at least half a dozen other kinds of seabird, bald eagles, otters, even harbor seals and porpoises! I know a lot of that came down to luck but even without all the wildlife sightings I would have been satisfied! Totally worth the price!

About Homer
Homer is a fishing and arts town at the end of the road on Kachemak Bay, Alaska, with a long gravel spit, glaciers across the water and volcanoes beyond.
Homer is the last stop on the road system of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, where the highway reaches Kachemak Bay and the town runs out onto the Spit, a gravel bar about seven kilometres long that holds a harbour, boardwalk shops and the fishing fleet. The town calls itself the halibut fishing capital of the world, and across the bay the Kenai Mountains rise with glaciers hanging from their flanks.
