We were in Sitka on a cruise. The 4 of us did this whale watching trip with I believe Sonny as our boat captain. He started out by showing us some huge bald eagle nests. A young bald eagle even peeked out of the nest as if on cue. Then it was off to find whales. We tried several spots and were thinking perhaps this would just be a great day on the water without whales. We then hit the jackpot and saw probably 20 whales. We were shouting 3 oclock; wait 8 oclock to alert others where we saw spouts. It was the highlight of a cruise. Take this excursion. You will love it.

We saw so many whales! Our boat driver, Sunny was FANTASTIC!! He helped make our day exciting. He was very personable. He also knew where the Eagle’s nests were and sea lions hang out.
