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 ratingThis was a first class experience with extremely knowledgeable guides! I’ve been to Alaska 3 times. This tour was by far the best! Captain Gary and his Naturalist/photographer on board provided a first class experience. The boat was comfy with only 10 passengers. The length of the visit depended upon how much we were able to get up close and personal with bears, bald eagles, sea lions and large pods of whales. We cruised a placid fiord before heading out to open water to find the whales based on where the krill were. I’d recommend bonine for the novice spectator. Gary was sensitive to those who got queezy! What a spectacular tour in Sitka. I would easily do this again !

5 star ratingUnbelievable Experience Thank you so much for an amazing time yesterday Gary. Your tour of the Ocean to see the Whales and other sea wildlife along with the bears was fantastic. You were some accommodating and looked after everybody’s wishes.The size of your boat was also great as it was just the right size (not too small and not too big to be overcrowded. As you know we gad booked the land tour with you for after lunch. Once we had eaten in the Smokey restaurant we were going to cancel and head back to the Ship as we felt our day was complete. We are so so pleased we didn’t. Our day just got better and better with Ryan. His personality and knowledge was brilliant and we had such a great time with him seeing the Fortress of the Bear, Raptor centre for Birds and Totem Heritage Centre. Great to meet you all for an experience my wife and I will never forget. Thank you again.

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.
