All this while being surrounded by one of the most beautiful places on earth, with much of the beauty, nature, and wildlife explained to you by your intelligent and entertaining crew and skipper. We made a day of it, driving to Homer from Kenai, making our way through beautiful country, till the vista opens up and you see the breathtaking 180 degree view of the Kenai Mountains - jagged iron black mountains covered with snow and glaciers over the blue Kachemak Bay. A short drive through town and you end up on the Homer Spit, reaching far out into the Bay. With tours and artisan stores abounding, we opted for our reservation on the Danny J. The staff, many of whom are talented artists in their own right, were friendly, talented, and knowledgeable. In addition to skillful ocean navigation, one of the deck crew navigated around a full fledged two-year-old tantrum by carefully working her through wearing a life vest. The one hour ride across the bay to Halibut Cove included a full circle of Bird Rock, where Murres, Cormerants, Gulls, and even Puffins abound. We also saw sea otters playing. Hike and picnics in Halibut Cove if your budget is tight, or go ahead and eat at the Saltry - the food is fresh, home grown, home baked, with a big focus on sea food - but a bit spendy. Many artist studios and stores are within walking distance - all on the multi-level board walk - so enjoy and buy a few things. Get back on the boat at 4 pm for a quick half hour trip back to Homer (sans bird tour). This adventure as up there as one of our most memorable, most perfect travel days ever. Can't recommend them more!

My family and…read moreI had a great opportunity to go halibut fishing in Anchor Point last year in June, we stayed there and it was amazing, the rooms were ver comfortable and spacious, the setting is awesome and there is a fire Pitt for the cool evening, the host provides a grill for you to cook your meals and runs a great getaway, we really found a great place to stay, we were looking to return but it's not in the cards this year , we will miss it however we hope to return next year .

Everything was perfect about our stay. Cabins were beautiful, price was great. Except we were…read moreawoken at 4 AM to a bat inside of our cabin. It was definitely unnerving to have a wild animal fly frantically over your head for about 45 minutes while he tries to get out. We stayed under our blanket until we couldn't hear him anymore and made a beeline out of there.. When we returned hours later the bat apparently was gone. When we brought it up to the owner she definitely made us feel like liars (we are definitely not, we visually saw the bat inside of the cabin.) and refused to apologize in the slightest. She made up all kinds of excuses and insisted there was no way for the bat to be inside our cabin. It was odd how she refused to even listen to our side of the story. Then she went on about how great they are for the environment, yaddayadda. We eventually had to say "Ok you have bats. Bye." just to get away from her arguing. It's really her responsibility to make sure that the cabin is well sealed so no bugs, bats or other vermin can get in. What really bothers me is her nonchalant attitude. Something that was supposed to be a quiet get away turned into a miserable experience and little sleep. If you do book a cabin with her, make sure she's fixed the issue with bats getting in. Other than that, cabin was clean and nice. Could have been a great stay.

We saw one bear laying in the falls and two in opening to the river. There are many spots to see a couple of bears without spending the day and a lot of money. The only service provided by the tour operator is ethe flight there and back as the rest is provided by the park services. The other problem is the viewing platform is stuffed with people (despite no bears). I can only imagine the crowd when there are bears so getting on the platform will be a problem.

It's located right off the highway but we weren't bothered by any road noise during the night.
