"Where do I begin? First of all, their boat, the Wilderness Explorer, was a state-of-the-art fishing vessel that was luxurious and equipped with everything you need for an amazing fishing adventure! The seakeeper kept the trip SO SMOOTH and pleasant. Great for families, friends, and even honeymoons! Their captain, Jamey, was so knowledgeable, fun, energetic, and a true professional of his trade. He found us the best spots and always strived to make sure we caught the best fish! On both fishing days, we limited out on halibut (even catching a 216lb, 72in BEAST) and caught more than we could handle of rockfish and salmon! The deckhand/chef, Brandon, not only surpassed our expectations with the deliciousness of his cooking, but also was a stupendous help with making sure our lines were baited, the deck was clean, and we were all having fun and catching fish. Both men were the key to us having the TIME OF OUR LIVES! They were so flexible, accommodating, fun, and did everything in their power to make our trip the best experience. Dinner was such a treat at the end of the trip, with breathtaking views and mouthwatering dishes... we could not have asked for a better trip with some of the best people in the business. Scott, the owner, is so personable and friendly. Cameron, who helped us process our fish is HILARIOUS and so unbelievably helpful with filleting our catch. All in all, I would recommend this crew/company 10/10 times to anyone and everyone I know. We hope to come back again, too! Thank you for memories of a lifetime!!"

BROOKS FALLS: Nestled in the center of Katmai National Park, Brooks Falls is a world-renowned bear sanctuary. Take a spectacular float plane ride from Homer across the Cook Inlet, past Augustine volcano, and over the Valley of 10,000 Smokes to Naknek Lake. Pull up to the beach and take a short walk to the National Park Service Ranger Station for a brief presentation and then, let the exploring begin! You’ll be fully immersed in Brown Bear natural habitat while following several boardwalks and trails that lead right up to the falls where, at most times, there are more than half a dozen bears actively feeding! During the height of salmon season, it is possible to see 50 or more brown bears feeding in the river only a few feet from the observation platforms. Brooks River is home to one of the best natural runs of red and silver salmon in the state! This draws bears from all over the area to the river for a viewing experience like no other. Midafternoon, make your way back down to the lake where your chariot awaits.

CHINITNA BAY & HALLO BAY: Bear viewing in Alaska is world renowned for giving visitors an up close and personal experience with majestic Coastal Brown Bears. 98% of our country’s brown bears live in Alaska and hundreds of these incredible animals live right across from the Kenai Peninsula on the west side of Cook Inlet. We are proud to offer our guests the opportunity to fly by wheeled bush plane into the heart of Katmai and/or Lake Clark National Parks to spend the day watching these amazing animals. Each of these locations offer incredible opportunities to observe bears ranging from 800 to 1200 lbs. in their natural environment. After a short safety briefing, you’ll put on a pair of waterproof hip boots, and climb aboard one of our bush planes. Many customers have commented that the flight alone into bear country was worth the price of admission. Your route will take you over and around volcanoes, glaciers, and rivers where you’ll land on long sandy beaches. From there, you and your trained guide will hike into the backcountry for a photo safari where incredible scenery and wildlife are around every corner. It will take your breath away. Watch as Coastal Brown Bears dig for clams, graze on sedge
grasses, establish dominance, and teach new cubs how to catch salmon in the river. Spend the day with us in the heart of bear country and make Alaska-sized memories that will last a lifetime!

Homer is known as the "Halibut Capital of the World" and this is a 100% true statement. A visit to Alaska isn’t complete without spending a day on the water catching trophy Halibut, Salmon, and Rockfish. Our vessels are outfitted with tons of horsepower to get you and your group out to prime fishing grounds in comfort and record time. A fast vessel means you’ll have more time to fish! Our captain and crew will meet you at our office on the Homer Spit at 6:30 a.m. for a scenic ride along Alaska’s pristine coastal wilderness to our favorite fishing holes. Worried about motion sickness? We are one of the only charter companies to install gyro stabilization systems on our entire fleet. This system eliminates 90% of vessel roll, the leading cause of seasickness. Our seasoned captains and crews will teach you all you need to know to bring the big ones over the rail and into the freezer. When your arms are tired and the day is done, our deckhand will expertly fillet and prepare your fish to be cooked or vacuum-sealed and frozen by a local fish processor. You’ll roll back into the harbor around 4:00 p.m. with plenty of time to go to dinner at one of our fine restaraunts.

If you are looking to explore the Alaska backcountry by land, we have a trip designed just for you! Destination Alaska purchased five brand new Argo Conquest 950 Outfitters. These 8x8 amphibious tracked vehicles will take you places that other machines simply cannot go. Let’s get started! Your trip begins at our Beluga Lake office at 9:00 a.m. where we’ll size everyone up for waterproof hip boots. Yes…. it’s going to be that kind of adventure! At the office, we’ll complete some paperwork, give you a brief description of the day, and go over some trail maps to plan our route of travel. Now, load up and follow us out to the trailhead at the end of Kachemak Bay. The drive out East End road has some of the best views in the state. Mountains, glaciers, an old forest fire area, and alpine meadows are just a few of the things you’ll see on this journey. Once we arrive at the launch site, we’ll have a short driving lesson and safety brief and we’re off! You’ll spend the next several hours navigating through the swamps and
forests searching for moose and other wildlife that call this part of Alaska home. Fantastic views are an added bonus as we make our way out into the Caribou Hills. At the end of the trail, we’ll take a break and have a hearty lunch. Nothing builds an appetite like fresh air and driving through mud. After lunch, we’ll explore even more backcountry as we make our way back the landing. Are you up for the challenge?

As part of your Ultimate Package there are many great hiking opportunities in Kachemak Bay State Park. Our most popular hike is the Interpretive Hike to Grewingk Glacier. Join us for a day-long guided hike from Glacier Spit to Glacier Lake. This guided hike provides an opportunity for you to hike in the state park with a knowledgeable guide who will truly enhance your hiking experience!

Your guide will identify and allow you to taste edible vegetation, point out the stages of reforestation along the glacial moraine, and provide you with a wealth of information you would not obtain walking this trail on your own.

It ends at the broad, open beaches of Grewingk Glacier Lake. This trail offers superb views of the glacier and its surrounding peaks. Icebergs floating in the lake near shore present opportunities for great photos. The tour includes round trip water taxi, guide and state park fees. Wear warm layered clothes and comfortable walking shoes. Bring light rain gear, camera, binoculars, and your drinks and snacks for the day. Departure and return times will be arranged upon booking.
