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.

5 star ratingWonderful Tour in Sitka! I would just like to say that I loved my tour with Captain Gary and it was one of the very best tours of my Alaskan cruise. I chose this tour because of a recommendation on Facebook. We did the Sitka Whale Watching Marine Tour.

I got to fulfill my bucket list of seeing a bear in the wild and even her 2 cubs (all from the safe distance of the boat). The whale watching was fun and we saw plenty of whales. Also, were able to see sea otters and other marine life and some beautiful scenery along the way.

Gary was engaging and friendly. I always felt safe on his boat. His first mate was very knowledgeable and she also took pictures with a very nice professional camera and then airdropped all of those quality photos of our trips with us! I also appreciated the more intimate numbers on our boat. Only about 20-25 people on this tour.

If you are thinking of booking this tour, book with confidence. You won't be disappointed! My only tip-- remember to book the early shuttle if you have an earlier tour and are coming from the NCL Bliss. My husband and I thought we had booked it, but we didn't hit the confirmation button. We still were still able to get off the ship quickly on standby the morning of the tour and made it without issue.

5 star ratingWildlife and whales galore We were a group of 4 siblings, spouses, and my special needs daughter. Captain Gary’s adventure was the hands down highlight of our Alaskan cruise. We saw sea lions, bears and cubs, jumping salmon, eagles, and over 20 whales.

Captain Gary is a gentleman in all aspects. He paid very close attention to assure my special needs daughter was in good order. If you think you can do better booking elsewhere, I can assure you the “you’re part of the family” treatment you get with Captain Gary will not be matched. After all, it’s a family run business.
Thanks again Captain!
