Destination Alaska: Port Chatham Jet Skiing

Jet skiing in Alaska?! Absolutely! This activity is not as extreme as it sounds—you’ll be toasty warm all day as you cruise along the shoreline of Kachemak Bay. Since you’ll be jet skiing through relatively calm waters, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to absorb the gorgeous scenery around you. Sea otters laying on their backs eating clams, whales spouting off in the distance, Eagles soaring overhead, and a dozen mighty sea lions resting comfortably on a small island. These are just a few of the possibilities that you'll have as they guide you along this amazing trip around Chrome Bay and Port Chatham. It’s a truly unique excursion with adventure tour outfitter Destination Alaska, out of Homer. Run by a longtime local family, the company offers a full menu of exciting activities.

Equipped for Comfort

Destination Alaska's new 4-stroke Sea-doo GTX Limited machines meet the highest standard for eco-friendly emissions, quietness, fuel efficiency, and reliability. You'll check in at our Lakeshore Drive office where you'll be outfitted with the best drysuits, boots, Helly Hanson Expedition jackets and safety gear. Yep! Warm and dry is top priority and we spared no expense. Our route of travel will take us by floatplane from Beluga Lake in Homer across to Yukon Island, past Seldovia, Port Graham, Nanwalek, Flat Island, Dogfish Bay and into Port Chatham where the M/V Peregrine will be anchored in heart of the mountains awaiting your arrival. This 25-minute flight is sure to be one of the highlights of your day. After a safety brief and driving tutorial, you'll be ready to tour the coast of Alaska on your private magic carpet.

Lunch with a glacier view

After several hours of wildlife viewing in various bays and coves, you will have worked up an appetite. Good news! The onboard chef will have a hearty barbeque lunch cooked up and ready to serve. Take off your gear, grab a deck chair and relax in unparalleled beauty while you dine on grilled hamburgers, tossed salad, potato chips, and dessert. After, a mighty de Havilland Super Otter floatplane will land in the cove and take you on a glacier flightsee that will knock your socks off. This trip puts a smile on everyone's face.
