Homer Transportation

Take off in a floatplane from Homer's Beluga Lake then fly either across Kachemak Bay on a flightseeing route or head across the Cook Inlet to Lake Clark or Brooks Falls, two of Alaska's premier brown bear habitats.  It's possible to see up to 25 bears at one time as converge to fish.

Mako’s Water Taxi is an affordable way of getting from Homer to the many interesting destinations across the bay, from hiking and camping hot spots to the charming village of Seldovia. The service basically runs year-round during daylight hours; you just schedule the drop-off and pick-up times. To make a day of your adventure, book one of Mako’s packages that coincides with the taxi service.

Watch brown bears go about their business, get a look at Ring of Fire volcanoes or kayak in pristine waters where marine mammals and seabirds live. Homer Air will take you air trekking anywhere you like, from Katmai National Park to the pilots’ favorite off-the-beaten-path places. They’ll get you where you need to go for remote camping, picnicking, day hiking, glacier viewing, kayaking, surfing, fossil hunting, beachcombing, fly-in fishing and exploring abandoned village sites.  The pilots are up for most anything you are. You could go looking for Sasquatch, even, and you wouldn’t be the first.

Enjoy transportation aboard the 150 passenger, fully equipped M/V Kachemak Voyager that gets you to and from the historic community of Seldovia via the port of Homer.

A family-run operation since 2005, Ashore offers a few basic tours—wildlife and bird viewing—but also takes travelers to the camping sites, cabins and activities all around Kachemak State Park. The 24-foot Blackfish seats up to six. The water-taxi captain is the company's owner, Dave Lyon, who gives an authentic insider's tour: Lyon has more than 20 years' professional experience on local waters. Feeling adventurous? Rent a stand-up paddle board.

The 'Danny J' is a small ferry that services the communities of Homer and Halibut Cove while also providing scenic tours of Kachemak Bay.

Homer's Small Boat Harbor is located on the edge of Kachemak Bay. Homer plays host to a variety of vessels that make up the commercial fishing fleet: long-liners, purse-seiners, and gill-netters. The harbor is also home to charter boat operators and tour boat operators providing fishing charters and sight-seeing tours within the area.
