Very nice 2 hour tour with a small group in a nice small boat. Beautiful scenery, plus eagles, many birds, sea otters, a porpoise; just not a good time of year for whales unfortunately. Dress warm and you might get water spray up front when the boat is moving fast which adds to the fun adventure. You can also sit inside if you wish. We are very glad we did this tour.

Saw so much wildlife on a short tour. Couldn’t count all of the otters. Tons of birds. Great boat and super crew. Small tour group made this even better. Will definitely do this tour again.
Very good tour.

Captain Ben did a great job. We saw whales, sea otters, and plenty of birds including puffins. I highly recommend taking this wildlife tour with Coldwater AK.

The 2-person crew on our morning trip across the bay from the Homer Spit did a great job. We were treated to multiple sightings of Orcas, Sea Otters, and Puffins along with other sea birds. My only problem is that a tour that was advertised as having a maximum of 6 travelers had more than twice that many onboard. This made it a bit crowded and we had to constantly jockey for position. The description of the tour’s capacity on TripAdvisor should accurately represent what travelers will experience.
Unexpectedly good bird watching.

Zach and Alex were excellent captain/crew guides on our Kachemak Bay sea safari for 2 hours! We saw birds, including tufted puffins, sea otters and harbor seals and great rock formations and gorgeous mountain/island scenery. Super lucky with a sunny day to show it all off in blues and greens. Great time and highly recommend!
Outstanding

2 young women as captain and guide. They were exceptional! Took us to places they knew the wildlife hung out, offered their binoculars to us, boat ride was exhilarating. Many many otters, and puffins, and a whale as well! Had a wonderful time. Small boat. Just a handful of us, and so much incredible scenery. Must do!!!
