Seaman's Adventures

You love to fish, but you really want to experience some of the other great recreational opportunities in the Kachemak Bay area?  Consider a package involving some of the following activities:

• full-day halibut fishing
• full-day wildlife/sightseeing/history tour in Kachemak Bay
• full-day, including half-day hike to Grewingk Lake, cruise of Halibut Cove, with stop on-shore in the Cove
• guided full-day hiking on Sadie Ridge or Grace Ridge, including a stop at Otter Cove for lunch or dinner

If your are primarily interested in viewing wildlife and scenery, yet would like to learn about the history of the area, we will share information about the history of the bay as we cruise the bay or hike the south-side trails.  We suggest you consider some of the trips under #2 above.  We will orient our trips to see some historical sites, and talk about the geology and history of the bay. 

If recent and cultural history is what interests you, may wish consider a trip to the inner bay (east of Homer Spit/Gull Island), outer bay, and possibly a trip to the outer coast.  Trips may include a stop on the beach.  Sample trips may include:

• full-day inner bay coastal tour, from Bear Cove to Gull Island, with stop for lunch on the beach or a barbeque off the back of the boat in a protected cove
• full-day outer bay coastal tour, from Eldridge Passage to Seldovia, with lunch
• full-day trip to the outer coast from Port Chatham to Port Graham

On the outer coast trips, drop offs are available to village of Port Graham.  Activities could include a stay or one or more nights at J&L Scenic Adventutes, with optional village tours and scenic/wildlife viewing side trips. 

We encourage you book early to get the best tides for tidepooling.  Tidepooling makes a great combination with wildlife viewing, cultural history, one or more hikes in the park, a picnic on the beach or a boat, or a stop at a southside restaurant at the community of Seldovia to make an enjoyable, educational, and relaxing trip. 

If hiking is your passion,  we can work with you to provide a variety of guided trips in the Kachemak Bay State Park and Wilderness Area.  See the Day Trip section that could be combined to develop a trip that best meets your needs, interests, and abilities.  Also, please contact us for a list and further information on the hikes that are available.
