By now you’re probably thinking that we are obsessed with the Kenai Peninsula. Well, you’re right! With so many fascinating hidden treasures, we can’t get enough of this wildly rugged area that has been branded as ‘Alaska’s Playground’ – and for good reason. Take this unique day trip to Halibut Cove, for example. With epic wildlife viewing, glacier hiking, gourmet cuisine, luxury accommodations plus the ability to experience it all at your own pace – let’s just say that it’s hard not to fall madly in love. We simply cannot stay quiet about one of Alaska’s best kept secrets any longer.
As you pull over the hill and head into the idyllic town of Homer, you'll be spoiled with absolutely epic views from the get go.

Another way to access Halibut Cove is via personal boat, which is what many visitors choose to do after they are finished reeling in halibut on the saltwater.
From sweet seals on the docks to gorgeous orca whales swimming freely in the water, chances are that you will be blown away by all the breathtaking sights that you will see.
Upon arriving in Halibut Cove, you'll notice immense charm in every direction that you look. Kayaking around Halibut Cove is an absolute blast, while experiencing an outdoor concert on the floating amphitheater at Halibut Cove Live is one of the most fun and unique summer events that you will find in the Last Frontier.
Enjoy eating farm-to-table dishes with only the healthiest of ingredients and spend the afternoon walking the boardwalks and visiting the impressive art galleries.
On the menu you'll find creative dishes with locally sourced wild Alaska seafood favorites such as house pickled salmon. Don't forget to try the sweet and delicate local halibut caught right from the surrounding waters in the 'halibut fishing capital of the world.'
