Small Group Boat Tour of Sitka
Description
Local Veteran owned and operated. Join our Small Group Boat Tour of Sitka on a 2.5 hour voyage and explore the rugged coastline of the Tongass National Rain Forest. You can expect to see Sea Lions, Sea Otters, Bald Eagles, Various Sea and Coastal Shore Birds, and very good chances of seeing Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, to include the occasional Orca Whale. You will also have a chance of seeing Deer, Seals, and later in the summer (end of July - October) very good chances of viewing Brown Bears feeding on salmon. When time permits, I will take you to one of two different waterfalls where you may be able to witness salmon attempting to jump up the falls.

Captain Brad was absolutely outstanding. We saw SO much wildlife! Bears, whales, salmon, sea lions, sea otters, eagles, and more! He was so knowledgable and provided such an Incredible experience! I would book this again in a heartbeat!!!
It was a wonderful trip. We saw bears, eagles, whales, sea lions and sea otters. Couldn't ask for a better captain he knew were to go and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
We thought the trip was very good. However, the seas were a bit rough for that size Vessle. We did get up close and personal with a whale. All in all. A good trip.
Thank you for the review Allen.
Saw so much wildlife. Whales, seals, sea otters, salmon, even a group of jellyfish. The ship was the perfect size and the captain was great!
Thank you so much Kevin for taking the time to leave an excellent review.
This was a brilliant tour. Brad took us out on his boat with a max of six passengers. He knew where to take us to see brown bears, humpback whales, sea otters, and sea lions. The only one missing was orcas which are more difficult to see. Brad was very informative and we highly recommend him.
Thank you Michael for taking the time to leave a great review.
It was a great experience. Captain Brad was very knowledgeable about the area and the wild life in the area . Eagles, whales, salmon were everywhere. A nice pod of humpback whales were in the area. Captain Brad told us about the whales and we were able to view them in the wild. Great tour , coming back next year and going again. I watch whales all over the world and I feel this tour was great
Thank you so much for the great review Marcy. Can’t wait to see you next year.
Booked this tour direct on Brad’s website as it’s quite a bit cheaper than via a tour operator and it was the best experience of our entire trip to Alaska. We saw; bears with cubs catching fish, so many whales which were virtually underneath the boat we could almost touch them, sea otters, seals, sea lions and eagles. Brad was super friendly, knowledgeable and never seemed in a rush to get back to the pier. Unbelievable value and a perfect day.
Thank you so much David for taking the time to leave the awesome review. I hope to see you again.
Great trip! Knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend over a larger boat. We saw, salmon, sea otters and whales circled our boat! One whale got so close we could almost touch it!
Thank you Janeen for the great review. I hope to see you again.
Amazing experience while in Sitka. We got to see a bunch of bald eagles, sea otters, whales, and seals all within a 2.5 hour window! The boat holds 6 guests which makes the experience more private and fun! I highly recommend Brad and nautical nature tours if you are in Sitka!
