Alaska Wildlife Tours

Included in your stay at the Ridgewood is a marine wildlife tour of Kachemak Bay. This six hour tour begins with the Bird and Wildlife Viewing portion. We start with a short boat ride from the Ridgewood to Gull Island – a bird sanctuary to eight nesting species of birds: Pelagic Cormorants, Red-faced Cormorants, Horned Puffins, Blacklegged Kittiwakes, Common Murres, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Tufted Puffins, and Pigeon Guillemots. Many other species may be found here during migration, both before and after nesting.  Marine mammals are also common here including sea otters, river otters, mink, seals, whales, and porpoises.  Black bears can be occasionally spotted on the beach that come down out of the forest to forage on crustaceans and mollusks.

The next portion of the tour will include an art and culture exploration of the Halibut Cove galleries. There are over a dozen artists here who are passionate about art and living in Alaska.  You will find a variety of art including octopus ink paintings, water color paintings, oil paintings, sculptures, pottery, jewelry and more. 
​
Our itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to the group’s interests depending on tides and the marine forecast for the day.


Included in the cost of your stay.
