What Our Guests Say

“Capt. Glenn Seaman is a local naturalist and a genuine expert on Kachemak Bay. We went on his boat the Pinbone and our party of five were delighted and impressed throughout. The bay is gorgeous on a bright day and what is better than being checked out by a curious seal? Did I mention we got to sample Glenn's homemade smoked salmon? Terrific value for your vacation dollars.” ~ dnakason, New York via (TripAdvisor)

“Our party of 6 all agreed that our day tour with Glenn was one of the best days we had on our trip to Alaska. He is so personable and knowledgeable. It was an interesting, relaxing and fun day. He's one of those people you feel like you have known for years. We saw many interesting sights and got to hear a lot of history. Would definitely recommend him.” ~ Diane, Minnesota (Trip Advisor)

About Us

Seaman's Ecotour Adventures, in business since 2005, strives to provide guests with a diverse experience in Kachemak Bay. Our small, family-oriented business is owned by Glenn and Bette Seaman, 50-year residents of Alaska. We lived in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and since 1999 in Homer.  They moved to Homer to live in small coastal town with a goal to develop strong connection to their place ... the people, the community, and the natural world.  Glenn and Bette's permanent connection to Kachemak Bay started in 1996 to lead an effort to designate a National Estuarine Research Reserve in Kachemak Bay.
