Fishing:

Homer offers many charter businesses for halibut or halibut / salmon combo charters. Homer is rightfully known as the  “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World” and every day you can see boats unloading the huge but delicate tasting fish. King salmon are also plentiful whether trolling from a charter boat or casting into the free “Fishing Hole” near the Homer harbor. For great fishing the Driftwood Inn recommends our very own Driftwood Charters. We also recommend:

Silverfin Guide Service - River Fishing

Sightseeing:

Enjoy the famous Homer Spit and small boat harbor. Over 50 fine art and gift shops, the varied shorebirds and marine life all make up this coastal community. Buses, taxis, horseback riding, canoes and bicycles are at your service to show you around. A short trip to the top of Skyline Ridge above Homer gives a breathtaking view of Kachemak Bay, the glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Kenai Mountains and the line of active volcanoes only 60 miles away. If you feel a bit more adventurous, try one of the wildlife tour boats, a day of sea kayaking, or a hike in Kachemak Bay State Park.
