The Top 1 Whale Watching Tours in Sitka

Sitka is in a prime location for whale watching. Many species are attracted to the ocean surrounding the city because of the huge numbers of fish that live there (dinner!) and the nutrient-rich water. That’s why your visit to this quaint city will be made all the better by including a Sitka whale watching tour. If you enjoy seeing wildlife and being out on the water, then this will be your ideal vacation day!

On the popular Whale Watching and Marine Wildlife Excursion, you’ll get to explore the waters around Sitka in search of the humpback and orca whales that frequent this part of Alaska. Your 30-foot boat is the ideal size - small enough to nip in and out of tiny coves and bays, but large enough to feel stable and comfortable. You’ll be in a small group of no more than six people, which means you’ll have no problem finding the ideal viewing spot either in the heated indoor cabin or the outdoor viewing platforms. Enjoy the breeze on your face as your knowledgable driver-guide transports you around beautiful islands, spotting friendly seals, barking sea lions, playful otters - and, of course, those all-important and utterly majestic whales!

Make sure to bring a camera with you on your Sitka whale watching tour, as you’ll want to remember the views of whales breaching the surface and sea lions lazing on craggy rocks for years to come!
