A Family Friendly Tour

Sitka Sound, on the edge of the wild Tongass National Forest, is an amazing place, absolutely teeming with life. Residents of this abundant area include Humpback, Gray, Minke and Orca whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, jumping salmon, puffins, murres, auklets, eagles, cormorants, and many other wild birds and animals (see the Sitka Wildlife Calendar for more information). Enthusiastic visitors, natural historians and photographers alike will marvel at this spectacular wild paradise.

Your boat accommodates only six passengers at a time, so you are guaranteed an up-close and personal adventure.  This might be your chance to add the Black Oystercatcher, Ancient Murrelet or Rhinoceros Auklet to your list; perhaps you'll find out what whale breath really smells like!
