Rugged coastline, distant glaciers, and mountains laced with waterfalls eventually give way to the grey water of Cook Inlet. At 9,000 feet tall, Augustine dominates the horizon, and soon you'll begin to see in detail the rugged slopes and steaming vents of this active stratovolcano.
The tour includes two landings on the volcano plus a picnic lunch. Throughout the tour, your pilot will share fascinating insights into the geological history and cultural significance of Augustine Volcano. The tour concludes with a return trip across the Cook Inlet and up Kachemak Bay to Homer.
