Seaman's Adventures

Kachemak Bay State Park and Wilderness Area provides many opportunities for the visitor that likes to explore a coastal forest, climb a mountain, hike to distant glacier, or take an easy hike to a glacier lake.  This area offers some the best hiking, wildlife photography, wildlife viewing, and scenery in Alaska! 

Seaman's Adventures provides guided hiking tours and mountain hiking on the Park's well maintained trails.  Your will hike with an experienced guide and naturalist.  All hikes include transportation to the trailhead and back to Homer, an experienced guide and naturalist, and a box lunch from one one of Homers fine restaurants.  All your will need is your hiking footwear, day packs, drinks, and camera!  Hikers should bring raingear or windbreaker in event of inclement weather.

We offer a number of day hikes, from an easy half-day hike to Glacier Lake at the base of Grewingk Glacier to longer hikes to climb mountain ridges or ascend one or more of the larger coastal mountains. 

We have included a sample of pictures from a few recent trips to give you a sense of the scenery, wildlife, and experiences that are availble.  Please contact us for more info on the hikes that are available.
