Dear
Alison,
I just wanted to thank you very much for your guide services. They were
excellent. Jaz and Asta were great to be with and they make a mean fish
dinner. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously and I am very appreciative. —Lisa

If you would like an adventure in comfort or to add a luxurious night
to your tent camping trips we have several options available. These can
be added to any guided trip or kayak rental.
Ask about our Kayaking and Gourmet Foraging Trips featuring
Blue Mussels Steamed in White Wine with Sprigs of Rosemary and Spring Devil's Club Buds in a Spicy Tempura Batter.
Hesketh Island Cabins: Look out through large picture windows across your own private beach at spectacular mountains. These newly built, hand-hewn cabins have a full kitchen, bunk-beds, propane lights and heat as well as a sauna that is lit daily. You only need to bring food, bedrolls, drinking water, and towels. Located on Hesketh Island, it is an easy paddle from basecamp and close to much of Yukon Island's wildlife. Sleeps 4 people. Price: $125 to $150 per night.
State Park Yurts: Conveniently spaced throughout Kachemak
Bay State Park are new yurts. More than a tent, yet not a cabin, these
round comfortable fabric covered structures are located in Tutka Bay,
Eldred Passage and Neptune Bay. The yurt near Tutka Bay Lagoon provides
access to superb salmon fishing. Email us for sample itineraries.
Price: $65 per night.
