The diesel cough of an Argos engine and the sharp, cold spray of Kachemak Bay set the scene long before the airboat cuts loose. You meet on East End Road, trade harbor views for shoreline tundra, and ride across tide flats toward a low, gravel beach where a small horse ranch and a cluster of Russian Old Believer homes mark the edge of the road. From the Argo a short hop delivers you to a shallow-draft airboat that skims reed beds and braided river mouths.
easy.
4–5 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be able to climb in and out of an Argo and an airboat unaided
About 2 hours on the airboat with the full excursion lasting roughly 4–5 hours including land transfers.
Infants are allowed but must sit on an adult’s lap; confirm any special requirements when booking.
Wildlife sightings (seals, bald eagles, moose) are common but not guaranteed—wild animals move with tide and season.
The tour is suitable for most people; you only need basic mobility to board and disembark from off-road vehicles and the airboat.
Kachemak Bay’s shoreline communities reflect Russian and indigenous histories; small settlements like Voznesenka were established by Old Believer groups in the 20th century and remain active today.
The tide flats and estuaries are fragile—stay in guided channels, avoid walking on sensitive mudflats at low tide, and pack out all waste to reduce visitor impact.
