Our wilderness yurt lodge in Chrome Bay is the perfect base camp to explore the wildlife and natural history of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula coastal zone. Our 3-day, 2-night wildlife and natural history tours begin in the Homer harbor at 6:30AM. After boarding the Last Laugh, we’ll take a short tour of the harbor and point out the different types of fishing boats we share these waters with. Keep a keen eye out for Homer’s own “Time Bandit”, a commercial crabbing vessel made famous by TV’s “Deadliest Catch” reality series.

The 2-3 hour 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. Along 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, gather for an orientation, and have a hot lunch in our main lodge yurt.

After lunch, it’s off to birding, marine mammal viewing, a natural history hike, or sea kayaking to view the sights up close. Your fully-guided itinerary will vary based on time of year, weather, and group preference. You can trust our experience and knowledge of the area to custom build your tour to incorporate the best wilderness adventure available for the next two days.

The wildlife may be camera shy, but your time in Chrome Bay will always include this picturesque view from our lodge. On day three, as we say farewell to this magical area, there is still more to see. Fishing, wildlife viewing, and even a quick visit to the historic village of Seldovia are options on our way back to Homer.
