Homer Day Cruises

From June 1 to mid-Sep­tem­ber res­i­dents and vis­i­tors to Homer can enjoy a gourmet din­ner with fresh­ly caught seafood, local­ly grown veg­eta­bles and meats at the stun­ning Odyssey Lodge, just across the bay. While break­fasts and lunch­es are for guests only, din­ners are open to the pub­lic — and include a refresh­ing, 25-minute cruise from Homer.

Set sail on a scenic jour­ney across Kachemak Bay with Rain­bow Tours, where you’ll encounter whales, sea lions, otters, and more. Choose from 3- or 7‑hour nar­rat­ed cruis­es, explor­ing coastal beau­ty and the charm­ing town of Sel­dovia. Enjoy sta­ble, com­fort­able ves­sels with indoor seat­ing and knowl­edge­able guides who bring Alaska’s marine life and his­to­ry to life. Pri­vate char­ters also avail­able for spe­cial events.

Whether you’d like to go on a per­son­al­ized boat tour of the Homer area or take a water taxi to the Alaskan back­coun­try, Homer is an ide­al place to launch from, and Cold­wa­ter has the boats and exper­tise to get you there. Explore places like Kachemak Bay State Park, the small town of Sel­dovia, and pic­turesque Hal­ibut Cove.
