Hello

Awesome 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!

Wonderful 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.

Wildlife 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!
