Discover cool things to do
in Homer

Our guide (Chris) did an excellent job of taking us to sites of where we could see first hand Alaskan birds, seals, etc. and also sharing his knowledge with us.

We had a lovely day! Saw puffins, orcas, otters and other birds. Smooth ocean. The women running the Seabird were great, very knowledgeable! I recommend!

Great trip! Delivers exactly what's promised. Fantastic captain that showed you all the others and birds. The boat was very nice also.

Coldwater Alaska staff (both office and water taxi) are friendly and professional. Water taxis that my wife and I were on looked new and well-maintained. Some may find the start to the Saddle trailhead hike to Grewingk Glacier steep but the trail levels out and the eventual view of the lake and glacier are not to be missed. If you staying in the Homer area, this is a must do!

An amazing experience. Flights on a Dehaviland float plane with Dave were wonderful. Bears at the falls were plentiful.

Excellent experienced pilot and person!! Loved every minute. From the time we took off I fekt very safe. We flew over beautiful landscape. Our pilot was clear with instruction when we landed. The bears & experience were phenomenal.

If you hike be in shape bring spray, just enjoy the beauty of nature, try to catch some Eagles Thank you Aaron

Holly was great. Lots of local knowledge about Homer & its history. Took us to great viewing spots for photo opportunities.

An adventure that’s both exciting and educational! Perfect for the whole family — young, old, or disabled — this family-owned business makes it possible to explore hidden and untouched areas of Alaska like never before. From the very first phone call, the experience was top-notch. After speaking with Jen — someone I now call a friend — she created a private, perfectly tailored itinerary for my family. She listened closely to our needs and even arranged a special riverside lunch complete with tables, chairs, sandwiches, chips, and drinks. It was more than a meal — it was a chance to connect. We enjoyed a relaxed, social moment getting to know Duncan and Sutherland on a more personal level. Both are incredibly intelligent and full of personality, adding even more depth and charm to the day. Jen knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered well beyond my expectations. Our journey began with Sutherland picking us up and driving us to the legendary “end of the road.” Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about the region and the people living in the nearby Russian Village. The drive itself was stunning — blooming native flowers, a surprise pheasant sighting, and breathtaking views of the bay and glaciers. At the trail’s end, we met Michael (one of the owners), who greeted us in his amphibious 6-wheeled “toy.” That muddy, bumpy ride through the backcountry was an adventure in itself and set the tone for the excitement ahead. Then came the airboat ride, where Duncan, our skilled and knowledgeable guide, gave us a thorough safety briefing before launching into the wilderness. As we traveled up the bay toward the Fox River, we encountered playful seals and their pups. They peeked at us curiously, only to dive underwater if we looked back — a comical and endearing sight we won’t forget. Once we reached the Fox River, the scenery became even more breathtaking. Surrounded by untouched Alaskan beauty, we felt completely immersed in nature. Duncan and Sutherland’s deep knowledge of the land and its people made the experience truly come alive. This wasn’t just a tour — it was an unforgettable journey into the wild heart of Alaska, thoughtfully curated by people who genuinely love what they do.

I never would have believed that any place could be as beautiful as Homer. I have been a beach person all my life, but after my visit to Alaska, I wish I could spend every summer there.I am going to add a picture of the airbud we stayed at. It was so clean, big, comfortable and the views were magnificent. Also easy to get anywhere we wanted to go.

The reception was very friendly and Trent, the pilot, worked very hard to fly us to Brooks Falls, where we had an unforgettable experience in observing the bears.
