Day Trips

Seaman's Adventures would like to work with you make the most of your trip to Kachemak Bay.  Most trips are typically day trips, starting in the morning and ending in late afternoon or early evening (depending on departure time).  We can do a mix of activities.  Possible examples are listed below.  Rates are based on three person minimum, unless noted otherwise.  All prices are listed at the non-discounted rate.  For 2008, a 10 % discount is applied all packages of three or more days.

  • Exploring the Rocky Intertidal

    Explorations of the rocky intertiday communities will necessarily be timed around low tides (lower than -3 feet).  The best tides for 2008 include May 5-8, June 3-6, July 2-5, and July 31-August 3.  Please contact us for pricing and scheduling for K-12 school groups.  Guided tidepooling may include.
