Homer sits at the end of the Sterling Highway on the shore of Kachemak Bay, surrounded by volcanoes, glaciers, and some of the richest marine waters in Alaska. The town is famous for the Homer Spit, a 4.5-mile gravel bar extending into the bay, and for being the halibut fishing capital of the world. It is also the primary staging point for float plane and boat access to bear viewing at Katmai National Park and Lake Clark National Park.
We provide full production services in Homer and use it as a staging base for productions operating across the lower Kenai Peninsula and the bear viewing parks.
Bear Viewing Access
Homer is the main departure point for bear viewing and wildlife filming at Katmai and Lake Clark. Float planes depart Homer daily during salmon season to access coastal brown bear concentrations at places like Chinitna Bay, Silver Salmon Creek, and Hallo Bay. These are among the most productive wildlife filming locations on earth.
Kachemak Bay
A protected bay with stunning mountain and glacier backdrops. Sea kayaking, tidal pools, coastal rainforest on the south shore, and marine wildlife. Accessible by water taxi or charter boat from the Homer harbor.
Homer Spit
One of the most recognizable landmarks in Alaska. The narrow gravel spit extends into the bay with fishing charters, restaurants, shops, and camping against a panoramic mountain backdrop. Extremely filmable and accessible.
Halibut Fishing
Homer's commercial and sport fishing industry provides authentic working-waterfront content. Charter boats, processing plants, and the culture around commercial fishing are all production-ready subjects.
Arts Community
Homer has a vibrant arts and culture scene disproportionate to its small size. Galleries, pottery studios, and a creative community that provides a different texture of Alaska content than the adventure and wilderness material most productions come for.
Homer Spit and Harbor
The spit, the small boat harbor, the fishing lagoon, and the shops and restaurants along the boardwalk. Mountain and volcano views across the bay.
Kachemak Bay State Park
Coastal rainforest, glaciers, coves, and hiking trails on the south shore of the bay. Water taxi access from Homer.
East End Road and Diamond Ridge
Scenic drives with elevated views of the bay, volcanoes, and the Homer area. Rural homesteads and agricultural land with dramatic backdrops.
Bear Viewing Locations
Katmai coast, Lake Clark coast, and Chinitna Bay accessed by float plane from Homer. Seasonal access June through September, with peak bear activity during salmon runs in July and August.
Homer has limited local crew. We stage crew from Anchorage (4.5-hour drive or short flight), coordinate float plane charters to bear viewing locations, arrange marine vessel access for Kachemak Bay shoots, manage lodging and meals, and handle all permitting including National Park Service requirements for Katmai and Lake Clark. Full service producer support available.
No more sitting on the sidelines. Stand out with compelling, story-driven visuals from the Last Frontier.
