The Top 2 Water Tours in Sitka

Why should you consider a Sitka water tour? Well, for a start, Sitka is located in the beautiful setting of Baranof Island, entirely surrounded by water and home to the stunning Sitka Sound. The coastline in this part of Alaska is rocky with pebble beaches, making access difficult on foot - but ideal by water. You have the stunning backdrop of craggy peaks covered in temperate rainforest that’s best viewed from a boat, and the wildlife in and around Sitka is abundant too. There are so many reasons why a water tour is the way to go in Sitka - take a sneak peak at some of our favorites excursions below. 

Jump into a tandem kayak and enjoy a sedate but wildlife-rich paddle on the Sitka Sound Kayak Adventure. Explore the small islands and rocky outcrops of the Alexander Archipelago taking in mountains, the Tongass National Forest, and of course, all the animals. Keep a close watch, because you can expect sightings of seals, porpoises, otters, puffins - and perhaps even humpback and orca whales!

If you want an excursion to call your own, then the Private Photo Safari, Beachcombing, & More tour will be ideal. With you and up to five companions, you’ll board your private boat, the Peregrine, for a customizable tour that provides the best photo opportunities, endless scenery, and an expert crew dedicated to making your private tour a day to remember.  Traverse Sitka Sound while you enjoy a spot of bird-watching, while also looking out for sea lions and whales. Include extra activities like visiting a hot spring, or enjoying a picnic by campfire - it’s all up to you!
