What To Expect

Sitka

Embark on a memorable adventure when you climb aboard our motorized, custom-built inflatable vessel for an exciting sightseeing tour en route to our floating base camp. Your knowledgeable captain will scan the sea for wildlife, including whales, and identify points of interest along the way.

Sitka

At our floating base camp, you'll receive instruction on the safe use of ocean-going, two-person kayaks. These stable yet maneuverable crafts let you enjoy the beauty of the protected bays and inlets near Sitka from a serene, natural perspective. An experienced guide, well versed in paddling techniques and the marine environment of the area, will lead groups of up to six kayaks. Each of the waterways traveled holds unique attractions, whether colorful intertidal invertebrates, an eagle swooping from the treetops, or the grandeur of the lush rainforest. You may even see a brown bear, harbor seals, or a Sitka black-tailed deer.

Beautiful and serene. Loved learning about the nature and history of the area. The float houses are so cool. Was a nice ride going out to a quiet secluded cove. Be advised these are true kayaks, not the open type. They have the "cadillac" version for the wider-set and was comfortable. The guides are fantastic!

Nice people but not worth the money. Should be half the price Need more time on the kayaks and probably a better area to see.

We went out at 7.30 with Rebecca, Connor and Tim. A quick trip up to the inlet where everything was explained. We set off in our kayaks and saw seals, bald eagles and other birds. Tim was a knowledgeable guide and worked well with the group. On returning to the floating boathouse Rebecca had chowder (yum!) coffee and hot cider waiting for us. Returning to Sitka we were very privileged to spot a sea otter and Connor was happy to dally for a while so we could get another glimpse. Can’t recommend this excursion more highly!!!!
