HOMER ALASKA'S SIGHTSEEING CRUISES AND SCENIC FLIGHTS -- Homer offers one of Alaska's most scenic settings with the glacier-filled Kenai mountain range providing the backdrop. Homer is a major starting point for Alaska coastal brown bear watching excursions and flightseeing tours that explore the Kenai Fjords. The Homer Spit, jutting over 4 miles into the rich waters of Kachemak Bay, is Homer's most famous landmark. The waters of Kachemak bay, bordered by steep-walled fjords, abound with marine life.
