Sitka: Whale Watching and Marine Adventure Private Tour

2 hours

Moderate

Embark on a private charter boat tour in Sitka, Alaska. Explore the Tongass National Rainforest, spot wildlife, and enjoy a 2-hour adventure with a US Coast Guard licensed captain.

Begin your adventure by meeting your captain at Crescent Harbor in Downtown Sitka, directly adjacent to Harrigan Centennial Hall. Board a 30-foot Hewescraft aluminum vessel and set off on a 2-hour journey through the nutrient-rich waters of the North Pacific.

As you cruise through coves, islands, and the open ocean, keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales, sea lions, otters, seals, and a variety of birds. If you’re lucky, you might even spot an orca or two.

Your US Coast Guard-licensed captain will navigate the waters, sharing insights about the local wildlife and the Tongass National Rainforest. This tour is a proud participant in the Whale SENSE program, ensuring responsible and respectful wildlife viewing.

After your adventure, return to Crescent Harbor, filled with unforgettable memories of Sitka’s stunning marine life.
