About
Exploration with Captain Scott to Seldovia Bay
**A Nautical Adventure**
Onboard with Captain Scott McEwen you’ll leave Homer behind and experience Gull Island’s raucous seabirds, and watch for puffins, whales, sea lions, porpoises and seals. Captain Scott then brings you directly to Seldovia.
**Discovery with Cindy of Seldovia Bay**
*Expedition to Seldovia Bay and the Town of Seldovia*
As we reach the Seldovia Harbor, Cindy, a professional naturalist with extensive knowledge of the local area, hops aboard. We’ll tour Seldovia Bay, and see natural rock arches, hidden lagoons, homesteader cabins, and sea otters. Then we’ll head ashore in Seldovia to stroll the historic boardwalk and Seldovia Slough.
**The Scenic Journey Back**
We return to Homer following a different route back through Eldred Passage viewing Hesketh, Yukon and Cohen Islands while keeping an eye out for sea mammals and other wildlife. This full-day trip will give you a truly unique perspective on Kachemak Bay, Seldovia Bay, and Seldovia!
