Charming Wildlife Tour with a Knowledgeable Crew - Captain John and First Mate Devon took us out on a gorgeously sunny and brisk Tuesday morning in August. After a comically slow exit from the Harbor (someone took “No Wake” a bit too literally), we were on a roll across the Bay. John did his best to sight whale spouts from atop the cabin, but alas, none were to be seen. After cruising across some swells, we DID sight tons of birds feasting on churned-up ocean goodies, a couple of harbor porpoises frolicking near the shore, and the largest raft of otters I’ve ever seen. We also had a pleasant, brief short stop ashore at a beautiful (where two fellow passengers got engaged!). My four-year-old was entranced by all the sea stars and shells on shore.
Love the late summer chill on Kachemak Bay… Highly recommend Coldwater and this personable, knowledgeable crew.

Kids and photos - Great trip! Our little boys got to sit up top with the captain. They were enthralled. The design of the boat allows it to get near the islands and shore which presented some great photo opportunities.

Great tour - Captain John was amazing. He asked everyone what they wanted to see. My wife wanted to see puffins, I wanted to see whales, others wanted to see otters. He delivered on all of them. We have been on other tours around the country and Captain John made this one the best. Thank you Captain John.

Amazing scenery and wildlife. A must do! - Captain Zack and Conor were amazing…very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We were able to see one humpback whale which was amazing. We saw a lot of otters and one guy put on quite a show for us. Very cold out there. Would recommend hats, gloves, anything you have that is waterproof (pants and jacket). A very worthwhile tour.

Canceled on us and have not received our refund. - We went all the way out to Homer and paid for two nights at the hotel. On our way to the pier, we received a phone call canceling the trip because it was too windy. We were told we could either change to another day or receive a refund. Because we had plane reservations and othe obligations we were not able reschedule and requested a refund. Now almost a week later, we have not receive the refund, so honestly we are not sure how impressed we are about the whole tour.
