Overview

In half a day (4-4.5 hours), we will take you from Homer to the end of the road and beyond, deep into Alaska’s wilderness. We are the only guides offering airboat tours in the rivers at the head of Kachemak Bay, so you will likely not see any others, outside of our group. The physical demands of this tour are minimal if you can climb in and out of an Argo and an airboat, you are good to go.

  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • We recommend but do not supply water and snacks.
  • We reccomend but do not supply warm layered clothing and windproof and waterproof outerwear for this adventure.

What To Expect

We meet you 4.5 miles east of Homer to begin your tour. You will enjoy a scenic SUV ride along the shoreline of Kachemak Bay with majestic views of the Kenai Mountain range and its glaciers. At the end of the road, we will drive onto the beach and past the Russian Old Believer village of Voznesenka to a beautiful horse ranch where our AirRanger and Argo are based. A short ride from the beach across the tide flats in the Argo will deliver you to the airboat. From there we explore the edge of the tidal flats and the three pristine rivers that flow into the head of Kachemak Bay, the Fox, the Sheep, and the Bradly River. We often see seals, eagles, and moose in addition to the stunning wilderness we are passing though. There are no other guides sharing this area with visitors, and we will enjoy this piece of Alaskan wilderness exclusively with our small group, a maximum of 6 passengers. The time on the airboat is about 2 hours.
The total time from your day for this adventure is 4.5-5 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Guided Airboat Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
