The Gull Island Tour: The Gull Island Tour is an hour round trip. We leave the Homer Harbor and head straight over to Gull Island, which takes about 7 minutes. Gull Island is a nesting place for sea birds. Among the birds seen there are the tufted and horned puffins, the pelagic and the red-faced cormorant, the galacous-winged gull, the kittiwake gull, the common mure, and the pigeon guillemot. It is not uncommon to see other birds and marine wildlife in the area as well, such as eagles, otters, harbor porpoise, seals & sea lions.

Marine Wildlife Tours: Our Marine Wildlife Tours are two hours round trip. They include Gull Island, 60 foot Rock, and more. We see all the birds Gull Island has to offer up really close, and then we visit the sea otter rookery of 60 ft Rock. As this trip is two hours long we have more flexibility as to the places we can go. If clients want to visit the communities across the bay as well as marine wildlife viewing, we will gladly incorporate that desire. Sometimes our clients like to hop off on a beach to poke around in the tide pools, or to beach comb. You never know what you'll see on a tour of Kachemak Bay. Sea Lions, porpoise, seals, and eagles are common place. Who knows, maybe we'll see whales on your trip! For pricing and reservations, go to 'booking info.'
