Wildlife & eco tours

Explore Kachemak Bay with a local guide

Kachemak Bay is one of Alaska's most biodiverse marine ecosystems — puffins, sea otters, orcas, and eagles, all within minutes of Homer. Every tour here is led by guides who've spent their lives on this water.

Glacier hikes & water taxi

Hike to Grewingk Glacier — only accessible by boat

The trails across Kachemak Bay are only reachable by water taxi — which makes them feel genuinely remote even though you're just minutes from Homer. These are some of the most spectacular hikes in Alaska.
