Seldovia Day Tours & Attractions

Many peo­ple trav­el to Sel­dovia, across Kachemak Bay from Homer dur­ing sum­mer sol­stice for music, games, food, work­shops and fun dur­ing their three-day Sum­mer Sol­stice Music Fes­ti­val, a pop­u­lar out­ing spon­sored by the Sel­dovia Arts Coun­cil every year.

Let the Har­ness fam­i­ly of Sea­side Adven­ture Eco Tours take you on a sea kayak­ing adven­ture through the won­ders of beau­ti­ful Lit­tle Tut­ka Bay. Sea­side will turn the bay into an inter­ac­tive class­room, cov­er­ing every­thing from archae­ol­o­gy and geol­o­gy to cul­tur­al and nat­ur­al his­to­ry on your full-day pad­dle. These long-time Alaskans share where secret trea­sures lie, what it’s like to live on the bay, and how to make a meal from wild ingredients.…  ...more

All of the freight, mate­ri­als, equip­ment and vehi­cles come in to Sel­dovia ​“over” the City Dock. This is a deep water dock and the Alas­ka Marine High­way Fer­ries Tus­tu­me­na and Ken­ni­cott tie up here on a week­ly basis and pro­vide a link, a high­way if you will, to the rest of Alas­ka. Those of us that live here rely on this link and use the City Dock and the fer­ry as one in the low­er forty-eight states might use a coun­ty road to get to town. The ferry  ...more

There’s not much traf­fic. Kids are rid­ing bikes. Folks are relax­ing and chat­ting along the water­front. Peo­ple who vis­it Sel­dovia often say how walk­ing around here feels like step­ping back in time, and that’s espe­cial­ly the case on the his­toric Sel­dovia board­walk, which exudes a cer­tain Nor­man-Rock­well-esque pic­ture of idyl­lic life. Indeed, the board­walk is lit­er­al­ly a rem­nant of days gone by. Before the dev­as­tat­ing 1964 Alaskan earthquake,…  ...more

Close to Anchor­age and endowed with abun­dant recre­ation­al oppor­tu­ni­ties, cen­tral Kenai is Alaska’s play­ground. Two high­ways, numer­ous trails, and sev­er­al major rivers slice through the spine of the Kenai Moun­tains. World-class fish­ing, hik­ing, riv­er raft­ing, and canoe­ing – plus alpine lakes and gold his­to­ry – make for an ide­al day trip or week-long vacation. 

This spot, about a mile out­side the town of Sel­dovia, offers big views that stretch out to the mouth of Kachemak Bay and even to Cook Inlet. Across the Inlet, you can also see the Pacif­ic Ring of Fire, includ­ing Mount Illiamna and Mount Redoubt, each stand­ing at10,000 and 11,000 feet. Even though they’re some 75 miles away, on some days they seem like they’re just beyond your grasp. You can also see Augus­tine Vol­cano, a classic…  ...more

The Sel­dovia small boat har­bor is the hub of our com­mu­ni­ty. For many a man and woman of past gen­er­a­tions it was the gate­way into their future. The ear­ly set­tlers had no choice but to come by boat, and they did so, and in the years and decades to come they lived and worked out of the harbor.
