What do I need to bring?
The short answer is, "As little as possible".

• Rain gear (wind block fabrics best)
• Personal medications/toiletries
• Camera
• Rubber/hiking boots
• Warm clothing in layers
• Sunscreen
• Seasickness medication
• Sunglasses
• Warm, waterproof gloves & hat
• Sense of humor & fun attitude

Rubber boots are necessary for transfers and for sea kayaking. Waterproof/windproof rain gear, tops and bottoms, will make your experience much more enjoyable also. Please limit your luggage as much as you can.

Is there any electricity in Chrome Bay?
Yes and no. We are truly off the grid, cell phones don't work here, and electrical power in our lodge is limited to small batteries and solar panels. The "Last Laugh" has normal 120V AC power to charge camera and cell phone batteries.

What's provided?
Transportation to and from Chrome Bay, all listed activities, all meals, non-alcoholic beverages, bedding, and all items normally included in our day trips. For hot showers, we also provide towels, biodegradable soap, and shampoo.

What's not provided?
Alcoholic beverages, personal snacks, and Alaska fishing license (we sell these on board) are not included. We do have cocktail ice for your personal adult beverages.

What's the food like?
Our Alaska-themed meals are based on fresh, local, and sustainable ingredients. We try to incorporate your freshly-caught seafood as much as possible if you request it.

What if I have food allergies?
Let us know well in advance, and we will work with you to provide alternate offerings. The nearest grocery store is two hours away, and we must coordinate with you well ahead of time.

Can I make changes to the itinerary?
Depending on the group's preference, we can adjust the schedule to meet the needs of our guests in just about any way. This is where the benefit of booking the entire lodge comes into play. If all six guests know each other, accommodating changes is much easier.

What if there is a weather delay?
We will have to adapt to the particular situation at the time to make the most of the hand that mother nature deals us. We intentionally have two free days built into either end of our trips and are able to slip the departure by as many as two days if we have to.

Likewise, we may return to Homer late due to weather and your travel plans should be flexible on both sides of your trip.

Our wilderness yurt lodge in Chrome Bay is the perfect base camp for paddlers to explore the wildlife and natural history of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Our five day, four night sea kayaking tours begin in the Homer Harbor Monday mornings at 6:30AM.

Our guided journey to Chrome Bay will take us along the Southern coast of Kachemak Bay and around Point Adam where we enter the Gulf of Alaska. On the way, there will be many opportunities to stop and view sea otters, puffins, whales, mountain goats, and much more. We’ll get settled-in to comfortable double-occupancy yurt lodging, and gather for an orientation.

Your fully guided itinerary will vary based on time of year, weather, and group preference. You can trust our experience and knowledge of Alaskan sea kayaking to custom build your tour to incorporate the best wilderness adventure available for the duration of your stay. Our guides are trained in coastal kayak leadership and will begin your sea kayaking trip with basic instruction in our sheltered and protected cove.




Once everyone feels comfortable with their new skills, we’ll paddle and explore our way along the Chrome Bay shoreline and the coast of Port Chatham. Safety is our number one priority, and a motorized vessel is always just a radio call away. Wildlife is definitely the focus of this trip. Our stealthy and quiet approach is a perfect way to view animals in their natural environment with minimum impact. We might be able to do a little fishing on the way too!
