St. Augustine’s Kayak & Tours offers guided kayaking from their spectacular basecamp in outer Peterson Bay in the heart of Kachemak Bay State Park. The central location has a wealth of diverse paddling routes and loops to choose from, including the Gull Island bird rookery and it’s 16,000 nesting birds and China Poot Bay, often touted as one of the world’s richest estuaries with its vast system of tidal channels.

5-Star Sea Kayaking Reviews in Homer, AK!
"We did the all day kayaking trip, and according to the guide we kayaked farther than most so my arms were definitely done for by the end but I felt it was fairly easy most of the trip. plenty warm with a long sleeve and a light jacket. Saw lots of wild life and the scenery was pretty great too. Would recommend to anyone going to Homer."

"If you are staying in Homer and have not participated in a water related activity, do this one! It's easy and adventurous at the same time and the price will not break the bank!"

"This was an amazing experience! My teen son and daughter did the single kayaks and loved it. I shared a double with another customer and was thankful for that so that I could take pictures. We saw a sea otter up close and personal. Also saw birds, river otter, seals, eagle. We stopped on a beach and took a break for berry picking. This trip was a highlight of our time in Homer."

"My wife and I booked a 1/2 day kayak trip with St. Augustine's and would highly recommend the experience. The day was perfect, no rain, warm weather and calm water. Our guide, Josh, was experienced, informative and really made the trip great. The scenery was amazing. Eagles, otters, sea stars, puffins etc."
