Sitka Wonders: Wildlife Boat Tours

Explore Sitka’s wild coast on small-group tours with a trained naturalist from Sitka Wonders. Choose from a unique 4-hour wildlife cruise with a beach landing, a 2.5-hour wildlife cruise, or a full day private charter. Look for whales, sea otters, puffins, bears, eagles, and intertidal life, and get access to remote volcanic islands that standard tours rarely visit.

With panoramic windows, an outdoor viewing deck, and just six guests aboard, these wildlife cruises offer a front-row seat to Sitka’s marine life.
