Without going into too much detail this was the best horseback riding experience I have ever had. Cowboy Mark is very experienced and has been doing this for years. He has lots of stories to keep you entertained and he is also a very good poet. This is definitely something you should not miss while in Homer/Alaska. It is a whole day kind of thing so pack lunch, maybe the subway on the way is a good idea. We started at 8am and got back around 3:30 ish. Most Definitely worth the $100 we payed. Ive paid almost that much for just an hour of tail riding. Ohh and this isn't just trail riding, he takes you out on the beach with room to go around and ride in a group. Great experience. Must do!!

I took a 20-minute boat ride from downtown Homer Spit, AK over to here at Kachemak Bay State Park…read morefor a few hours of exploring. Well, the most popular activity at Kachemak Bay is to hike the Glacier Lake Trail to spend time looking at Grewingk Glacier! Yes, lol, I spelled that right - Grew-Ink...and the "g" is left silent. Let me tell ya...I had a lot of trouble pronouncing this name, it must have taken me quite a number of times for it to finally stick in my head! Grewingk = "GrewInk" I departed downtown Homer with 49North Alaskan Adventures. The roundtrip cost was $92 with taxes. I guess that price was okay for ultimately just riding with a water taxi. But, if I wanted to spend some time at Kachemak Bay and see Grewingk Glacier, this was the price I had to pay. A family and I of 5 for a total of 6 of us left Homer at 1pm and arrived at the shores of Kachemak Bay at 1:30pm. We then had 4 hours' worth of hiking at our own accord, getting to visit the glacier and lake and then return to the shores for a 5:30pm departure with arrival back in downtown Homer Spit at 6pm. And btw, the Spit of Homer is the 5-mile extension for where the "land meets the ocean." That's what Homer is famous for, this Spit of land, if anyone's interested in knowing, lol. For the 4 hours at Kachemak Bay, you start out by hiking on the Glacier Lake Trail, which goes for 3.2-miles along flat land with no elevation. On this 3.2 miles, I must say...I really ventured through some charming and picturesque settings. The hike had a pleasant essence about it. It felt as if I was casually walking through some rain forest aspects with plush trees and bushes, all while the dirt path trail was clear and defined. I was simply enjoying strolling about. The 3.2-miles went by extremely fast. The 3.2-miles took me about 1.5-hours. I then connected for just a 1/2-mile walk to Grewingk Glacier. It's that easy. Grewingk Glacier is set in the backdrop of a quiet and pristine lake. For me being very particular...I wish the glacier could have been closer and within reach because I did have to zoom in on my phone a lot. When that happens, the closer I zoom in, the fuzzier the appearances are. Still, the lake had glacial icebergs floating in the waters which made for photogenic aspects. The tourists/hikers there were sitting down relaxing and having lunch. I walked the edge of the lake doing my usual thing, trying to capture the best perspectives of Grewingk Glacier. I took a bunch of pictures before leaving after roughly 1-hour. But 1-hour is more than enough time to view the glacier and get a real feel for the surroundings of the lake and glacier. Then I walked back the 1/2-mile to the posted sign where I connected with the Saddle Trail for the remaining 1.5-miles to a different part of Kachemak Bay shore to eventually be picked up by the boat. In total, the trail was an efficient 5.7-mile path and along the way I got to appreciate the calming setting of the outdoors with time at "The Toe" of another Alaskan Glacier. It took me 1-hour to hike the Saddle Trail back to the beach shores which left me with a casual 30-minutes before the return boat arrived. I used this time to just wander the sandy beach and take some last remaining photos. In the end, spending a half day/5 hours' time getting to discover Kachemak Bay State Park and Grewingk Glacier was as worthwhile of an experience as I could have asked for. I just could have used closer access to the glacier for more prominent views. But...if you are interested in going on a little adventure taking a short boat ride from Homer Spit for hiking and exploring, then this Kachemak Bay is for you.

My hubby was so happy - he caught a beautiful 15 pound King Salmon and Gary and his assistant Jonah, were very instrumental in landing that fish. We had to get up early to get to the fishing spot and once there, Gary explained the rules and regulations and gave great instructions on what to do. Gary and Jonah were so helpful and everyone in our party caught a fish, the biggest being a 22 pounder! We never felt rushed at all. As a matter of fact, my hubby was the last to catch a fish and Gary and Jonah both were patient and were giving him tips on what he could do. So glad that we went with Silverfin Guides. We will definitely be using Gary again on our next trip.

I did this horseback riding adventure on the beach in Homer, Alaska in my downtime on business…read moretravel last year. I loved it so much I've been wanting to bring my family out to do it. I just got back from another ride, this time with our two daughters. We had an amazing time! Cody is the best guide. He took us on another magnificent ride along the beach, through tidal pools, and to a waterfall. The scenery was magnificent and unreal, with snow covered mountain peaks, we saw a distant glacier, volcano, eagles, and ravens. The horses were all great. We rode some beautiful Norwegian Fjord horses, Bullseye and Star, who were very easy to ride, and another horse named Bo. All were great. Awesome horses. We loved them. It was truly a magnificent ride and precious memory I could share with my daughters, that I will cherish for a lifetime. I'm planning to go back with other family members including my spouse and our sons. I can't wait. Thank you Cody! You're the best. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a beautiful Alaskan experience.
