ADVENTURE BEGINS AT THE END OF THE ROAD
Homer, Alaska — The Gateway to Bear Viewing & Adventure
Homer, Alaska is more than a charming seaside town — it’s your launch point into Alaska bear viewing, bush plane adventures, and the wild frontier of Katmai National Park and Lake Clark National Park. Known as the “Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea,” Homer sits on the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula, overlooking Kachemak Bay and the vast Cook Inlet.
From here, our Cessna 206 bush planes take you beyond the road system to remote beaches where brown bears roam freely, bald eagles soar, and volcanoes stand guard on the horizon.
