Small-group, guide-led paddles to Gull Island, Grewgink Glacier Lake, and scenic coastlines — all gear and instruction provided.
St. Augustine's Kayak and Tours operates from Homer, Alaska, offering guided sea kayaking and nature tours in Kachemak Bay.
The company’s small-group excursions include three signature trips: the Land, Sea, & Ice Tour, the Seacoast Kayak Adventure, and the “Go With The Flow” paddle. Each trip pairs paddling with close-up wildlife viewing and coastal scenery unique to the Kachemak Bay area. Guides lead paddlers along shorelines, past rock formations, and to wildlife habitats where visitors may observe sea otters, seabirds, and whales. The Land, Sea, & Ice Tour combines a guided sea kayak route with a scenic hike to Grewgink Glacier Lake for glacier views. The Seacoast Kayak Adventure includes a water taxi ride to Gull Island and full-day paddling along diverse coastlines. The “Go With The Flow” experience features a 15-minute water taxi to Gull Island, home to thousands of nesting seabirds, and is designed for beginners. St. Augustine's provides all kayaking equipment, safety briefings, and expert instruction so prior kayaking experience is not required on beginner-friendly trips. Operating from Homer, the business emphasizes safety, local knowledge, and responsible wildlife viewing practices consistent with park and refuge guidelines. Trip durations and difficulty levels vary by itinerary; participants receive details at booking. Reviews and local listings list the company as a reliable operator for Kachemak Bay kayaking. For visitors seeking guided coastal paddling, glacier viewpoints, and seabird colonies near Homer, St. Augustine's Kayak and Tours offers accessible, guide-led options.
