    GET ON BOARD FOR A GREAT RIDE!

    A great way to see the unique areas of Kachemak Bay at a reasonable price. Spends a few hours in the wonderful seaside town of Seldovia then back to Homer. Expect to see TONS of wildlife and sea life often including Humpback and Orca whales.

    The Fast Ferry

    You don’t need a car to explore Seldovia, Alaska. Hop the “fast ferry” from Homer to Seldovia with bicycles, a kayak, or your always-ready-for-a-hike dog friend. Dependable summer transportation run efficiently by the Seldovia Village Tribe. Keep your eyes peeled for whales, orcas and otters!

    Fast and Easy to use

    This ferry runs 2 times a day and is the quickest way to get to Seldovia without flying. It is also a large boat so it is better for people that might get sea sick

    Super Fast Easy Way to Seldovia

    This ferry flies across the water and the smoothest way to go. Large two deck, modern, comfortable and roomy ferry that zips you from Homer to Seldovia in 30-minutes.
