A Seaside Adventure, individualized kayaking and ecotours owned and operated by Rick and Dorle Harness, with over 25 years experience and a perfect safety record guiding in Kachemak Bay. We live and headquarter our tours in Little Tutka Bay, also known as Cozy Cove, on the south side of Kachemak Bay, a half hour boat ride from the Homer harbor. We cater to guests of all ages and skill levels in the most protected cove and island system of Kachemak Bay where we take you on a tour among an abundance of wildlife and spectacular scenery. Rick, naturalist and guide, grew up in Alaska and shares his expansive knowledge with humor, and his enthusiasm for his home is contagious.You might want to visit for a day, but you also have the option to stay in this 'living picture'. Spend a few days in our cozy seaside cabin where you can take in the serenity, natural wonders, sunsets, wildlife and adventures that let you forget the busy world of the road system for a while. We are very fortunate to live, work and play in such a pristine environment, and love sharing this treasure with our guests. Nestled behind the Herring Islands, our home base is located at the gateway of Kachemak Bay State Park. We invite you to join us for a true Alaskan experience.

Alaska’s Farmer’s Markets

If you enjoy buying local while traveling, check out the directory of farmer’s markets that are held in the summer months around the State. The Homer Farmer’s Market is an especially robust affair and a great way to add local produce to your fresh-caught seafood bounty. There are craftspeople there that offer some great local art, the best jams and jellies around, and a huge variety of vegetables and fruits. Sometimes, you can buy shrimp, oysters, and salmon there, too. ENJOY!
