Our tour guide was not able to take us but he took all the work out of rebooking and found us someone else to take us. And we had a fantastic time with captain Brad in Sitka nautical tours.

Im always confident when we ask Captain Brad to take out guests if something comes up that he'll give you an amazing time!

Patrick was very good about communicating with us about the pickup point and any other questions we had for him. We weren't out in the ocean 5 minutes and this huge whale jumped right in front of us! It continued to preform for us and give us an awesome show. After that, we went around trying to see bears or something else. We were able to see lots of Salmon jumping up right next to the boat. It was a very good day!
