Kachemak Bay Tour

Take unlimited sunshine and add tons of Sea Otters, eagles and a couple of Humpback whales and you have a perfect day in Kachemak Bay!

We took a seven hour tour aboard the Discovery with Rainbow Tours and loved every minute of it.

First we stopped at Gull Island to see many thousands of seabirds. They typically nest there and lay their eggs, but too many eagles are there now scaring them so they are afraid that they wont have any babies this year.

We also went around Eldred's Passage where we saw sea otters and eagles, including an eagle's nest where she was feeding two babies. (Zoom in on the pics and you can see the babies) We also saw three volcanoes which are part of the ring of fire. (and I aplogize if the Johnny Cash song is now in your head)

We were also lucky enough to see two Humpback whales and our boat stayed with them for a long time.

We eventually arrived in the little town of Seldovia, a little late due to all the wildlife we were stopping to see, and enjoyed a delightful lunch. 

A large group of Amish people from Ohio joined us on our adventure. If only Tom had a straw hat he would have fit right in with them.
