Great trip - Jaren was determined to show us whales, sea otters and other wildlife. Great tour of the beautiful coastline as well. Highly recommend.
Brodey was awesome. It was a much smaller intimate environment with only 5 people on board with him. He truly wanted us to see whale & we ended up in a large pod. It was never rushed & he was very informational
This was one of the most fun experience we've had. Captain Dan was incredibly. He went above and beyond, even going as far as to putting my mobility scooter in his both for safety. Highly recommend!
We had a great trip. Our guide Joel found a pod of Orca’s and we were so excited to experience them. I understand it’s not easy finding them. Also saw some sea lions feeding on fish, otters and eagles. 5-star trip, highly recommend a smaller boat tour.
Thank you for the kind words! So awesome you were able to view Orca's!
Captain Brody was fantastic! He is so knowledgeable about the area and willing to answer any questions about growing up in Alaska. We saw whales, otters, and sea lions. Such a great afternoon on the water! This tour is a definite YES!!
Thank you for joining! We're glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Great tour! Small group was great. Saw whales, sea lions and beautiful Alaska scenery. Captain Jaren was very friendly and knowledgeable
Thanks for the kind words!
Nice small group tour in a small fishing boat with a cabin that fit 4-5 people plus the captain. We saw sea lions up close and seals, otters, and whales from a reasonable viewing distance. The best thing was enjoying the scenery on the water with a local sharing his life experiences growing up in Sitka. Captain Brody was friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for the kind review!
Well importantly, the place is easy to find and the gentleman who works for the company was waiting for us. We got great correspondence from the company.. and it turned out that there was only my husband and myself on the trip today. Joel was the captain today and we had the best day. It helps that the weather was absolutely perfect and we saw whales and sea otters and sea lions.. and it was just fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend this company.
Thank you for the kind words!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on our nature and whale watching tour in Sitka, Alaska! The owner took our small group out, and from start to finish the trip was incredible. Their knowledge of the area and enthusiasm for wildlife made the experience even more special. We were fortunate enough to see bald eagles, sea otters, sea lions, and two different types of whales, which made for an unforgettable day. The small group setting allowed for a more personal experience and plenty of opportunities to take in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy watching the animals in their natural habitat. You could tell how passionate the owner is about what they do, and that passion made the tour truly exceptional. This was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sitka. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
Thanks! We appreciate the kind review and joining us on tour!
Spectacular Sitka marine wildlife boat tour lasting two hours! We saw eagles, sea lions, otters & great whales! And ended up having a private tour because the other guests didn't show. It was a perfect day on the water! Highly recommend this boat tour!
Thanks for joining!
