Sitka Premier Whale Watching and Wildlife Tour
Overview
We are excited to share that during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, whales were seen on 100% of our trips!
Skip the crowded boats and join Sitka Expeditions for a truly unforgettable whale watching and wildlife experience aboard our comfortable 13 passenger enclosed vessel. Enjoy a more personal and relaxed trip while staying warm and dry, with air ride seating and a private bathroom on board. Designed for both cruise ship guests and independent travelers, our tours are guided by knowledgeable locals who know exactly where to find the action. Witness whales breaching, bears feeding along the shoreline, and sea otters drifting in their natural habitat.
Whether it is your first time or a return visit, our trips are built to give you the best chance at incredible wildlife encounters without feeling rushed. Book your spot and experience the raw beauty of Sitka the way it is meant to be seen.
