If you have a big group, be aware they allow about 6 people at a time on their boats. Coming back, we were scheduled for a 3pm pickup. We ran late due to some issues while rafting and messaged them on our InReach, easily rescheduling for a 7pm pickup. We finished early and with only about 45 minute's notice, they came and got us at 5:45pm instead! The captains have all been friendly. You can sit outside or in their cabin. They're also knowledgeable about the trails in the area; some are not very well maintained and they will give you a head's up on those.

He is a former wildlife and marine biologist, and knew a lot about the history of the area, something we were really interested in. We saw bald eagles, puffins, otters, seals and many other types of birds. Also got to visit Halibut cove and Gill Island. Glen also followed COVID-19 protocols, which was extremely important for us. A highlight of the trip was a great salmon dip that Glen had made for us, and also all the his stories. We would definitely recommend Glen if you want to do a wildlife tour in the Kachemak Bay from Homer.

(I'm 62 and have never, ever kayaked, and I felt very comfortable the whole time.) Rick is a great safety conscious guide and teacher and pleasant host. His love for his "back yard" is evident as he shares the sites as you leisurely paddle around Tutka Bay. You see and and can touch all types of star fish, photograph anemones, commune with otters, and enjoy breathtaking scenery. Then you help gather a variety of beach plants to go in the salmon and rice soup prepared right on the beach by his assistants. It is served with homemade bread. No rush, just a great way to experience Alaska up close and personal! Thanks, Rick, for a great memory!

We waited until the last day of our trip and got stuck with this company. They are not only the…read morehighest priced boat tours on the spit, but are also the only company that charges the same price for children, even newborns. They claimed it was due to coast guard restrictions to 6 people, but there were two open spots on our tour, so our newborn in a carrier did not take up a spot from another paying customer. They were late to pick us up because they allegedly had trouble with our boat, so we were downgraded to the cheaper boat and were only able to tour the bay for an hour instead of two. However, it was more likely due to insufficient staffing since they have four boats, and they could have tried to shift the couple remaining tours to accommodate their delay. Luckily, the captain was fantastic and did the best he could with the time that we did get on the tour.

Most were far away from the viewing platforms with a couple close enough for decent photos. After visiting firsthand, an observation I'll make is that the odds are against seeing a lot of bears up close. The bad part of my experience is that the owner, Gabe, was a complete jerk. I called the only contact number with questions 3 times over two days (no answer) and texted at least 3 times. Received only one text reply which was a sarcastic response without answering my questions. No reply to follow up texts. For this reason, I would never consider paying him any more money for bear or fishing trips. Go with someone else.
