Inspiration Ridge Guided Tour
We had a guided nature walk with Sarahlily at inspiration ridge. She was very knowledgeable and the property was gorgeous. It was a low key enjoyable experience to walk thru a beautiful property with lovely views. The price was right also. For a chill experience with no hype and just lots of trees and lawn and views across the bay and down to the city of Homer, definitely recommend.

So Much Fun!
We are a couple in our 30s and we loved this tour! Our guide was an impressive young woman (I think her name is Daisy) who knew so much about Homer's marine life and exactly where to look to find them. There was so much to see: attached to the dock, in the water, under a buoy, ect.! You can touch and hold the specimens before returning them to the water. This tour is short and sweet and a way to learn about the wildlife that is around you which you would normally never see or think about. The range of wildlife is diverse and I learned of creatures that I never knew existed. This is a terrific way to spend a free afternoon - it is centrally located in the harbor so you can easily grab an early dinner or go souvenir shopping afterwards.
