Cruise through Sitka Sound on a wildlife adventure. Spot eagles, sea otters, porpoises, and whales, and learn about the region's natural history from your guide.

Begin your adventure with a warm welcome from your guide, who will escort you to your custom-built expedition catamaran, just steps away from your cruise ship. After a safety briefing from the crew, embark on a scenic journey through Sitka Sound’s stunning seascapes.


Your expert captain will carefully chart a course, considering seasonal wildlife migrations, recent sightings, and weather conditions to create a unique sightseeing experience. As you cruise past majestic mountains lush with greenery, your crew will share fascinating insights into the natural history of the region, including the glacial and volcanic forces that shaped the landscape.


Enjoy a hot or cold beverage as you take in the breathtaking scenery and keep an eye out for local wildlife like eagles, sea otters, porpoises, and whales, either from the comfort of your seat or from one of the outdoor observation decks. After the cruise, unwind with lunch or shopping at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal or take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service to downtown Sitka for further exploration.
