Wildlife Quest & Beach Trek

Embark on Alaska’s most intimate wildlife viewing adventure aboard a deluxe, expedition catamaran, and step ashore on a remote island to explore the rugged coast.  Your Captain will design an expedition uniquely suited to the day.  The high speed and maneuverability of your waterjet-powered craft will allow you to explore areas unreachable by conventional boat. Whales, sea otters, puffins and brown bears are just a few of the species that thrive in this pristine environment.  As animals are sighted, the Captain will maneuver the vessel to provide optimal viewing, and your expert Naturalist will explain their fascinating life-cycles and behaviors.  Next, you’ll go ashore on a remote island.  Delight in a exploration of colorful tide pools, trace the meandering tracks of wildlife and take in the stunning beauty around you.  

Marine WIldlife Tour - Exclusive Small Boat

A wonderful opportunity to get away from the crowds and enjoy an exclusive wildlife watching tour with your own private boat and captain!  Sitka Sound, on the edge of the Tongass National Forest, is an amazing place, absolutely teeming with life. Humpback whales, orcas, Stellar sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and jumping salmon, as well as puffins, eagles and many other wild animals are abundant residents.  Your private excursion ensures an up-close and personal experience and the luxury of a great deal of flexibility and can include a trip to a remote sea lion island, otter colony, or a seal haul-out.   

Wilderness Sea Kayaking Adventure

We begin our sea kayaking adventure by suiting up in quality raingear and lifejackets before transferring to a floating kayak base camp by motorized inflatable raft. The short and invigorating journey takes you past Sitka and the surrounding mountains. Upon arrival at the base camp, you’ll be instructed in the use of safe, oceangoing, two-person kayaks by knowledgeable staff. Groups of four to six kayaks will be led by an experienced guide, well versed in paddling techniques and the marine environment of the area. The waterways offer a variety of attractions, such as colorful inter-tidal invertebrates, eagles swooping from the tree tops, or the grandeur of the lush rainforest. You may even see a brown bear, harbor seal, or Sitka black-tailed deer.
