The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Fly by floatplane deep into Katmai National Park to witness grizzly bears catching sockeye salmon mid-leap at the world-famous Brooks Falls — one of the most iconic wildlife spectacles on the planet.
Water-taxi across Kachemak Bay then hike to the ice-blue terminus of Grewingk Glacier — an other-worldly wilderness lake rimmed with calving ice, accessible only by boat and boot.
Drop lines in the rich, cold waters of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet aboard a dedicated sportfishing charter — Homer is the undisputed halibut capital of the world, and a day on the water with expert crew is utterly unforgettable.
Paddle through the glassy, kelp-laced waters of Kachemak Bay with a master guide — sea otters, harbor seals, and Dall's porpoises are regular companions on this intimate wilderness journey.
Escape the modern world entirely by crossing Kachemak Bay to Seldovia — a charming, road-inaccessible fishing village with boardwalk history, local galleries, and an end-of-the-earth tranquility that Homer's coast is famous for.
Board a naturalist-led small vessel for a scenic wildlife cruise through Kachemak Bay, circling the legendary Gull Island seabird rookery and scanning the bay's rich waters for otters, porpoises, and orcas.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
