The company runs the Half-Day Halibut Cove Sea Kayak, a combined scenic boat cruise and guided kayaking experience that explores the sheltered waters around Halibut Cove. Participants will see marine life, sea cliffs, and coastal caves while learning about the history of the local community.
Trips depart from Homer and travel by boat to the remote inlet where kayaking begins. The Half-Day Halibut Cove Sea Kayak emphasizes close-up wildlife viewing and navigation of pristine waters, with a focus on safe, informative paddling. Equipment, safety briefings, and instruction are provided as part of the guided outing.
Three Moose Kayak Adventures caters to visitors who want a shorter, accessible sea kayak experience rather than a multi-day expedition. The route combines a comfortable boat transfer with active paddling, making it suitable for those seeking dramatic Alaska scenery in a half-day format.

The itinerary includes coastal sightseeing, stops for close observation of tidal zones, and interpretive commentary about local ecology and community history.
