Seldovia Nature Tours

Join me for a custom walking tour or hike in Seldovia! If you are interested in natural and cultural history, birds, wildflowers, photography, and tidepools, this will be a good fit for you. I will work with you to create an experience that is a perfect fit for your interests and abilities, whether it’s a relaxing stroll around town or a hike in the wilderness.

I’ve been running my woman-owned, single-employee business since 2018, and strive to create a travel experience of the sort I would like to have myself: affordable, human-powered recreation, quality insider knowledge with a local guide, personal attention, and small group size. Contrary to the current travel industry practices, rather than selling you an expensive package deal, I take an à la carte approach. You only pay for the services or items that you want.

Located across Kachemak Bay from Homer, Seldovia is accessible only by boat or plane and offers you a vacation from your vacation. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all, see the real Alaska, and take a big breath of fresh air. Although it’s an easy day trip from Homer, I recommend you spend at least one night. No matter how long you stay, you’ll wish you had more time here.

As part of my low carbon footprint lifestyle, I don’t own a vehicle. If you’d like to go beyond the Main Street area we will hire a taxi or rent a golf cart. This supports other local businesses and makes your tour custom-tailored to your needs.

I keep it simple and organic, and go with the flow — or “live by the tide,” as we say here in Seldovia!

Hope to see you here soon.

Cindy Mom, Owner and Guide Naturalist
