The
best way to experience Southeast Alaska – and
its abundance of marine & coastal wildlife – is
on the water!
On the Sitka Wildlife Quest, you’ll have the opportunity to observe some of our most famous residents – sea otters, humpback whales, puffins, bald eagles, or even brown bear – all in their natural habitat! Every tour is unique; trace the rugged coast of pristine Sitka Sound or explore the narrow waterways that divide countless untouched islands. Conditions permitting, we’ll cruise to St. Lazaria Island, a world famous bird sanctuary. Let us share the wild places around Sitka few have ever seen…
Your
waterjet-driven tour vessel has been specially designed to navigate southeast
Alaska’s narrow island passages and bays, allowing for spectacular
wildlife viewing at close range. Each vessel features a warm and
comfortable cabin with enclosed seating, large windows, a snack bar and
restrooms. Visit the topside observation deck for unparalleled
photo opportunities and to fully enjoy the experience with all of your
senses.
Note: Dress warmly and bring a rainproof jacket to wear on the top-side observation deck – and don't forget your camera!
