    Kachemak Bay State Park - From here it's only 1/2 a mile more to arrive at Glacier Lake and Grewingk Glacier.

    Truly a beautiful place to visit. We came in and went out on a water taxi. Enjoyed hiking the…read moreGrewingk Glacier trail too

    I took a 20-minute boat ride from downtown Homer Spit, AK over to here at Kachemak Bay State Park…read morefor a few hours of exploring. Well, the most popular activity at Kachemak Bay is to hike the Glacier Lake Trail to spend time looking at Grewingk Glacier! Yes, lol, I spelled that right - Grew-Ink...and the "g" is left silent. Let me tell ya...I had a lot of trouble pronouncing this name, it must have taken me quite a number of times for it to finally stick in my head! Grewingk = "GrewInk" I departed downtown Homer with 49North Alaskan Adventures. The roundtrip cost was $92 with taxes. I guess that price was okay for ultimately just riding with a water taxi. But, if I wanted to spend some time at Kachemak Bay and see Grewingk Glacier, this was the price I had to pay. A family and I of 5 for a total of 6 of us left Homer at 1pm and arrived at the shores of Kachemak Bay at 1:30pm. We then had 4 hours' worth of hiking at our own accord, getting to visit the glacier and lake and then return to the shores for a 5:30pm departure with arrival back in downtown Homer Spit at 6pm. And btw, the Spit of Homer is the 5-mile extension for where the "land meets the ocean." That's what Homer is famous for, this Spit of land, if anyone's interested in knowing, lol. For the 4 hours at Kachemak Bay, you start out by hiking on the Glacier Lake Trail, which goes for 3.2-miles along flat land with no elevation. On this 3.2 miles, I must say...I really ventured through some charming and picturesque settings. The hike had a pleasant essence about it. It felt as if I was casually walking through some rain forest aspects with plush trees and bushes, all while the dirt path trail was clear and defined. I was simply enjoying strolling about. The 3.2-miles went by extremely fast. The 3.2-miles took me about 1.5-hours. I then connected for just a 1/2-mile walk to Grewingk Glacier. It's that easy. Grewingk Glacier is set in the backdrop of a quiet and pristine lake. For me being very particular...I wish the glacier could have been closer and within reach because I did have to zoom in on my phone a lot. When that happens, the closer I zoom in, the fuzzier the appearances are. Still, the lake had glacial icebergs floating in the waters which made for photogenic aspects. The tourists/hikers there were sitting down relaxing and having lunch. I walked the edge of the lake doing my usual thing, trying to capture the best perspectives of Grewingk Glacier. I took a bunch of pictures before leaving after roughly 1-hour. But 1-hour is more than enough time to view the glacier and get a real feel for the surroundings of the lake and glacier. Then I walked back the 1/2-mile to the posted sign where I connected with the Saddle Trail for the remaining 1.5-miles to a different part of Kachemak Bay shore to eventually be picked up by the boat. In total, the trail was an efficient 5.7-mile path and along the way I got to appreciate the calming setting of the outdoors with time at "The Toe" of another Alaskan Glacier. It took me 1-hour to hike the Saddle Trail back to the beach shores which left me with a casual 30-minutes before the return boat arrived. I used this time to just wander the sandy beach and take some last remaining photos. In the end, spending a half day/5 hours' time getting to discover Kachemak Bay State Park and Grewingk Glacier was as worthwhile of an experience as I could have asked for. I just could have used closer access to the glacier for more prominent views. But...if you are interested in going on a little adventure taking a short boat ride from Homer Spit for hiking and exploring, then this Kachemak Bay is for you.

    My wife and I took a three-day, two-night trip on the Lady of the Sea. This was the first…read moreovernight boat trip my wife and I had taken. The name of the boat is perfect: she is a lady from stem to stern: lots of wood and space, all maintained beautifully. Though the boat only has three guest quarters, our room was comfortable and quiet, and we appreciated having a private shower. And the crew: Captain Rand fostered complete confidence in his seamanship. It was obvious he had grown up in Kachemak Bay. Both Rand and his assistant captain Mike showed their background as schoolteachers, always ready to tell us about what we were seeing without ever being intrusive. The food was magnificent as well. One night Rand's wife Lauren, a former culinary teacher, cooked and the other night a chef who Rand had taught in school cooked. Both prepared inventive and well-executed dishes. And Mike made sure we all had plenty of snacks on our excursions! We hiked and kayaked from the boat and that was well organized and we enjoyed the outings very much. We hiked to a glacial lake, and kayaked around small islands, and ate lunch on the beach. We also saw a lot of terrific sea life throughout the trip - a humpback whale that breached twice! Seals, sea lions, sea otters, eagles, puffins, and more! We would highly recommend a booking on Lady of the Sea!
