  • 5Well worth the $! Highlight of our trip!

    The highlight of our trip! We had amazing weather and saw so much wildlife - a bear eating salmon, countless eagles, otters floating and sea lions sunning on buoys - and about 15-20 whales encircling our boat! Our guide was fantastic, and he gave us an education about whales - about how long they dive and resurface, how they can be identified by their tail, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! The pickup point is right beside the place the shuttle drops you in town - maybe 20 steps away, so our only regret was that a few others in our cruise group might have gone if they knew how close it was to the shuttle drop-off. We had a private tour - just our 3 on the boat.... a wonderful day!

  • 5Must do in Sitka!

    Hands down one of the best wildlife encounters we’ve ever experienced! Having a private boat made all the difference—no crowded decks, just a relaxed and personalized ride tailored to what we wanted to see. We were lucky enough to spot magnificent whales and sea otters up close against the gorgeous Alaskan backdrop. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the local marine life and ecosystem. If you're stopping in Sitka, this private tour is well worth it!

  • 5Tour guide was excellent....

    Tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Although the weather was not ideal, the guide nevertheless knew the best areas to ensure views of whales, sea lions and a bonus brown bear with her cubs. Boat was very comfortable. Highly recommend.

  • 5Highly Recommend!

    Right on time! Both our naturalist and boat driver were great and informative, which made for a wonderful experience. We saw a momma bear and her two cubs who wrestled with each other. Saw a few whales and great tails. Also, sea lions. They had treats and water for us, too.

  • 5A Most Excellwnt adventure

    The boat was enclosed and had comfortable seats. We had the option to watch from the front and back of the boat when stopped. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about various animals and information about them as well as the surrounding area. The captain took us to areas where we saw humpback whales, a mama bear and her three cubs as well as sea lions. This was an excellent adventure, we recommend it highly!

  • 5My partner and I enjoyed...

    My partner and I enjoyed this excursion even though we didn’t see any whales. Our guide and captain searched hard for them - we ventured through some rough waters, but no luck. The highlight was a bear and her cubs along the shore. We also saw a sea lion. Fun times.

About Sitka

Sitka is a small island town on Alaska's Pacific coast, once the capital of Russian America, with onion domes, totem poles and a sound ringed by mountains.

Sitka sits on the west coast of Baranof Island in south-east Alaska, facing the Pacific across a sound dotted with islands and overlooked by the volcanic cone of Mount Edgecumbe. It was the capital of Russian America, known as New Archangel, and in 1867 Alaska was formally transferred from Russia to the United States on Castle Hill. The onion-domed St Michael's Cathedral and the Russian Bishop's House, built in 1842, recall that past.

Top-ranked sights in Sitka: Fortress of the Bear, Alaska Raptor Center, Sitka National Historical Park.
