4. World-Class Saltwater Fishing

Halibut Cove is called Halibut Cove for a reason—it’s near the halibut fishing capital of the world, Homer, Alaska. But it's not just all about the halibut… when you go deep sea fishing, different types of salmon, rockfish, and pacific cod may also find their way onto your rod.

The Alaskan waters are known for having fish of world-class proportions and there is plenty to catch thanks to the state's conservation efforts.  

Our saltwater fishing excursion has you fishing in style with our professional and personable crew. The foot luxury fishing vessel has plenty of space for indoor seating, heated seats, a spacious fishing deck, and a real bathroom.

We offer a combination of halibut and salmon fishing because it’s the perfect way to enjoy two types of fishing experiences in one day. Plus, you can have your catch professionally fileted, vacuum sealed, and flash frozen so you can take it home. But, nothing beats fresh fish!

The Stillpoint Lodge culinary team is also always happy to cook up your catch for your next meal.

 

 

5. Glacier Lake Kayaking (and wondrous hiking, too!)

The trail to Grewingk Glacier Lake in Kachemak Bay State Park is located a short boat ride across Halibut Cove and is oftentimes full of floating icebergs. Experience this once-in-a-lifetime moment of paddling your kayak amidst icebergs.

During your excursion, you might even see moose, black bears, arctic terns, and mountain goats who live within the valley or on the steep mountainsides.

When glacier kayaking with Stillpoint Lodge, you get all of this and more. Our day trip includes a gourmet picnic that you can enjoy on the lakeshore overlooking the mile ice field, surrounded by towering mountains that dwarf the glassy lake.

Kachemak Bay State Park is covered with miles of hiking trails that cut through beautiful forests.

There are plenty of options if you’re a beginner or advanced outdoorsman.
