Hello

Thanks for stopping by!

We’re local guides who absolutely love Sitka - our hometown / home waters - and have a passion for sharing it.

We invite you to come explore with us and discover the untamed beauty, abundant wildlife and story of Baranof Island and Sitka Sound.

It’s a place that’s wildly beautiful, teeming with life, and historically and culturally rich. A place we call home.

We feel lucky to live, work and play here and we’d love to share the adventure with you.

Read on to learn more about us, the tours we offer and how we can make Sitka the favorite port of your Alaskan vacation.

See you at the dock!

Gary & Koali + Nico

5 star ratingAmazing Captain Gary and Caitlyn are the best guides we have spent time. The passion and knowledge they have for Sitka and the wildlife makes me wish I could give them 20 stars. If you are looking for an unforgettable day in Sitka you must book with Captain Gary. I will do it every time I find myself in Sitka.

5 star ratingWonderful experience Capt. Gary and Caitlin were absolutely fantastic. Bears, Sea Otters, Bald Eagles, Sea Lions and of course Humpback Whales!
Both are extremely knowledgeable and fun.
I would absolutely do this again and anyone heading to Sitka should consider booking with Sitka Adventures as well.

5 star ratingAwesome Sea and Land tour!! This was the 5th whale watching I've done over the years, and was by far the best! It began with booking which I did just a few days before our trip. He returned my calls promptly and was very accommodating to fit us in. We saw more whales than I could count! We also saw sea lions and otters. He tried to find us bears by the salmon hatchery, but no luck. It was still gorgeous scenery and fun to see the salmon juming. There was a "naturalist" on board who took lots of awesome photos and shared with us. Captain Gary was very friendly, professional and informative about the island and wildlife. After the boat tour, we were picked up in a van and taken to Fortress of the Bear where we had up close views of bears, Raptor Center to see eagles and owls, Totem Park for awesome totem poles and low tide on the nearby beach. It was an awesome day, and I highly recommend Captain Gary's tours!
