Great tour in Homer - Forrest was a great Captain, he has a great eye to sight wildlife and was knowledgeable about the area and animals we saw!

No tour is the same - What a special time! John and Justin were great. The tours go where the wildlife is. Birds, otters and we saw a black bear. Really good experience.

Exceptional Wildlife Tour - Awesome experience we went on the boat with Captain Curly or Aquaman. The ridecwas amazing his expertise with the wildlife and the area was amazing. He took us to his favorite cove and views were amazing. We got to see bald eagles and mountain goats. Definetly recommend this tour and this boat.

If you have the time- by all means GO! - Very good weather and a lucky wildlife cruise- saw whales right out of the dock practically. Then we proceeded to Gull Island- had to be a million seabirds there- so loud! After the island we went to Sadie Cove to look for mountain goats and bears- only saw a few goats but they have a great "hang out" for sure. Also saw several otter Moms with babies! Too cute.

Another awesome trip with Curly John! - Awesome 4 hour private excursion with Curly John! This is our 2nd trip with John - we requested him as our Captain, after having a great experience with him last year. We saw puffins, pomarine jaegars (a new bird species for us all), rafts of sea otters, humpback whales, a colony of sea lions, mountain goats, and harbor porpoises. We had awesome weather and took a chance to go out much further than last time to explore more and it was worth it. John is awesome with his knowledge of the area and wildlife plus a great personality. He worked hard to scope out the best opportunities for us to wildlife. Highly recommend!

Worth Your Time! - This was a fantastic tour of Katchemak Bay! Captain Curly John is the best!! He is knowledgeable, funny, and attentive to his guests. We saw puffins and many other sea birds, a beautiful bald eagle quite close, harbor seals, and a raft of fun sea otters. It was great! We highly recommend.

Late trip addition to a lifetime memory - We booked as a late vacation family event. Heavy fog in the morning caused the trip to be delayed... But WELL WORTH THE WAIT! CPT Curly John & Christie brought us to, what was described as... "Trust us, you won't be disappointed!" In total we watched & enjoyed a super pod of 20+ Orca whales. The two hour trip that we'll remember the rest of or life was THE BEST part of our vacation to Homer. The "peek-a-boo", breaching, & watching an Orca swim directly under our boat was unbelievably AMAZING! Thank you Coldwater Alaska, CPT Curly John & Christine for those experiences & memories. Both of your excitement was infectious & we enjoyed every minute! The DeMaris family

Perfect day - Curly John and Kristen were great. We saw lots of birds, otters. They went out of their way to find everything we wanted to see. We were not lucky enough to see the whales but that was no one’s fault. They made us comfortable and being on the boat was great. Smooth ride. Would go with them again

Great family experience! - Amazing trip out and around Kachemak. The captain, Curly John, and the deckhand, Kristen, were wonderful guides. They pointed out so many different animals (otters, puffins, cormorants, sea lions, goats, eagles and more), guided us to areas where they knew there would be some, and handled the boat expertly. We had some rough waves at one point but the captain did an excellent job and the boat itself was super smooth. My kids loved the trip and the personal knowledge and expertise the captain and Kristen shared!

A terrific trip! - Captain John & Chrissy were great! They saved the day when our airplane bear viewing trip was canceled. It was a memorable trip for our entire family that we will not forget!
