Truthfully the best part of Homer is not in Homer, it is across the bay. If your time and budget allow, a visit by water taxi, Kayak, plane or ferry to any spot across the bay is a step into paradise. There are miles of trails, cabins to rent and lush green forest oh and wild berries too!

Winds were too high to Kayak to the Glacier but still enjoyed the view. Trails were well maintained as well as the hikers tram across the river.

This area is worth exploring and our three days were just scratching the surface. We stayed at Kachemak Bay Lodge and then Homer Spit while canoeing, hiking and beachcombing. We had terrific weather so that probably influenced our responses but we were all exceedingly glad to have had time there.

We took a float plane onto a glacier lake, then went kayaking around the lake & ice burgs. Had lunch did some more kayaking.

The hike begins a half mile down the beach; it's quite flat to the glacier (about 3... More

We took the Mako water taxi to the Glacier Lake trailhead. Then they picked us up at the bottom of Saddle Trail at a pre-arranged time. Great hike...great glacier lake at the foot of the glacier...great views from Saddle Trail. This is a trail hike for someone in reasonably good condition: hiking boots are important: the trail is rocky. Be... More

Our famly had a great hike with a couple of caveats. First, the hike was much longer than we thought. We have two kids so it was a bit much but we all still had a great time. We hiked first to the tram where you can get in and pull your tram from one side of the river to... More

Beautiful, a must see on a trip to Alaska! Even on a rainy day, any of the glacier and wildlife tours are amazing.
