Jet-Cat Wildlife Quest & Beach Exploration

Duration: Approximately 3 hours (including 2 hr cruise, and 1 hr trek)
Provided: Rain poncho, binoculars, snacks, beverages

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. 

Combine luxury and excitement aboard an expedition jetboat as you quest for whales, sea otters, puffins, bald eagles or even brown bear in pristine Sitka Sound. You'’ll also experience the rugged Alaskan coast from ashore on a remote island. Every tour is uniquely designed by your Captain with the day's tides, weather and wildlife sightings in mind.

Enjoy animal encounters from the comfort of the spacious, window-lined cabin, or indulge all your senses from out on deck. During your beach adventure discover colorful tide pools, trace wildlife tracks and explore the stunning beauty around you. While beachcombing, keep an eye out for Japanese fishing floats and other exotic flotsam deposited by mysterious ocean currents.

An expert naturalist, dedicated crew and limited group size make this the ultimate Alaska close-up. Enjoy a gourmet snack as you "fly" back to Sitka in catamaran comfort, including full restroom and mini-galley.

Note:  Participants must be in good health, at least 8 years of age, and able to hike up to ½ mile over wet, uneven terrain.  Wear sturdy footgear, and dress warmly in layers, as this tour operates in all weather conditions.
