SOUTHBOUND TOUR ITINERARY (CONTINUED)
DAY 5: SATURDAY - ANCHORAGE/SOLDOTNA/HOMER
This morning, you'll head south and tour down the Turnagain Arm
along the Seward Highway. This " All-American scenic highway " has
spectacular views of the Cook Inlet and Chugach Mountains. In
dramatic fashion, see where the mountains meet the sea. Watch along
the banks of the rivers where fishermen call this area home from May
to September.
Visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre where you will see
moose, bears, musk ox and other indigenous animals of the region.
Taking in orphaned animals and providing quality animal care yearround,
the Conservation Centre is dedicated to the protection and
preservation of Alaska's wildlife. Animals that cannot be released back
into the wild are given a permanent home at the Centre.
As you continue through the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula down
the coast, enjoy the spectacular views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai
Mountains and several volcanic peaks across Cook Inlet, including
Mt. Augustine, Mt. Iliamna and Mt. Redoubt. Near the southern tip of
the Kenai Peninsula, you'll encounter the town of Homer, an authentic
Alaskan community not geared toward mass tourism, often described
as " where the land ends and the sea begins. " Homer has a history
steeped in commercial fishing and a mild climate moderated by the
Pacific Ocean. This results in warmer winters and cooler summers
compared to other areas of Alaska. Homer is also famous for the
Homer Spit, a 7-kilometre-long natural spit of land extending into
Kachemak Bay, which you can explore in the evening.
Visit the Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Centre before arriving to the
hotel - your window to the largest seabird refuge in the world with all the
natural wonders of Kachemak Bay right outside its doors. The Alaska
Islands & Ocean Visitor Centre is a partnership between the Alaska
Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and the Kachemak Bay Research
Reserve, dedicated to understanding and conserving the marine
environment. Enjoy the modern displays, movies and information
throughout as the Centre takes you on an incredible journey through
this rough and rugged land.
