12:00 Noon Gull Island Tour
TRIP DURATION 12:00 TO 5:00 P.M
Starting from the picturesque Kenai Peninsula town of Homer, the cruise aboard the Kachemak Bay Ferry, the Danny J, sails through some of the most scenic and vibrant waters anywhere.
Ferry fare and Gull Island Tour is $70 plus tax. We offer a $10 discount for kids ages 3 to 13. Children under 3 are no charge. Meals are paid for separately at The Saltry.
One of the highlights of the cruise to Halibut Cove is a visit to Gull Island, a bird sanctuary, a short twenty minutes from Homer.
Gull Island is home to nine nesting species of birds. Many, many other species may be found here during migration, and before and after nesting. Binoculars and camera gear are a must! In addition to the fabulous birds on Gull Island, Kachemak Bay is teeming with sea life - sea otters, seals, whales, porpoise and more!
After dining at The Saltry Restaurant, you will have time to explore Halibut Cove. The Homestead island has a few short trails and spectacular views. There are opportunities for breathtaking photographs. There is 1/2 mile of handicap-accessible boardwalk owned by the Tillions.
At 4:00 pm, it's time to head back to Homer!
