• 5Leigh is amazing....

  Leigh is amazing. Marvelous area, water temperature not an issue. Clear water and more life than I have seen in the Caribbean before.

• 5Amazing cruise excursion

  No need to fear the cold water! My wet suit kept me incredibly warm—the gear was all high quality. Loved seeing nudibranchs, especially the sea lemon. Wish I could’ve stayed in the water even longer! Lovely team, highly recommend.

• 5Highlight experience during our Alaskan cruise

  My husband and I had the most amazing time snorkeling in Sitka with Selkie Snorkels. It ended up being just the two of us with our guide, Lea, who gave us a truly VIP experience. Although we are experienced snorkelers/scuba divers, I was a little nervous about Alaskan cold waters. I quickly realized that the provided equipment - 7 mil wetsuit, hood, booties, and gloves (along with mask and snorkel) - kept me adequately warm in the water. The beach entry was easy to enter and the swim around Magic Island was in fact magical. We saw so many cold water animals: sea stars, crabs, rock fish, bull kelp, fish, and more. The visibility was decent (about 20 feet) and the surf mild (only the occasional small swell from distant boat activity). Plus, Lea is a very knowledgeable biologist who shared a wealth of information about the environment and its animals. She is also a very well prepared and capable guide with all the necessary safety equipment and abilities. She truly made our adventure a ton of fun! And the hot cocoa at the end was a nice touch. We highly recommend this snorkel excursion!

• 5Great time!

  So much fun to be in the Alaskan water! We went end of August and were not cold. You are provided a 7 mm wetsuit (jellyfish resistant), hood and boots. Juliet was very sweet and educational! It was just us on the tour and she made sure we were comfortable, safe and having a great time!

• 5Great support! Unique opportunity!

  When we found via YouTube that we could snorkel in Alaska, we were incredulous and immediately wanted to sign-up. However, with an 8 and 10-year-old who were equally as excited for the opportunity, we had questions. A quick email and our questions were promptly, and warmly, answered, giving us great confidence in the trip to come. Fast forward, and yet again we became the needy customer when our youngest broke his arm at home before the trip. Afraid we'd have to cancel, we again emailed Selkie Snorkels and yet again received a prompt and encouraging reply: as long as we would work with them, they would work with us, and we'd find a way to snorkel. Fast forward to our trip and 24 hours before the excursion we received one of the most detailed pre-trip emails ever, followed by a group text to ensure same day connectivity. When we arrived at their shop, they were patient and worked with us to find a solution for our youngest to not be left out or left cold despite his waterproofed cast. There were other guests but they helped us with all the difficulty that getting a cast into a wet-suit can cause. And that was all BEFORE the actual snorkeling! The site we snorkeled was amazing and provided amply beauty to behold. Our guide picked up several creatures for us to see up close and shared great information about the sea life. We would absolutely return and hands down recommend this opportunity to for a unique Alaskan experience!

• 5Juliette and Leigh were...

  Juliette and Leigh were INCREDIBLE tour guides for the day. We loved snorkeling around Magic Island and found the wetsuits kept us adequately warm while in the water. Our guides provided great explanations of what all the gear was, what we would be doing, animals we might see, and even facts about Sitka. We HIGHLY recommend this tour.

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.
