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

All I can say is WOW! Captain Gary was the best. His boat was spotless and you can tell he takes pride in EVERYTHING he does. This was by far the best tour I’ve ever been on. He was on the hunt for wildlife and we saw it all. Sea lions, otters, bald eagles and a whales galore. We heard history and were educated on the lay of the land. Best part was a photographer onboard that was able to share the pictures captured on tour. Can’t wait to return to Sitka again and we will definitely spend the day with Captain Gary and his crew.

Our cruise ship arrived at port later than it had originally had been scheduled and Gary worked with us to get our full tour in despite me being skeptical, sorry Gary :). We saw so many Whales, Sea Otters, Sea Lions and much more. It was an awesome tour. The only thing I regret is we did not also do the land portion of the tour. If it is anything like the tour on the water it would be spectacular. Highly recommend Captain Gary to anyone visiting Sitka.

You can’t go with anybody else but Gary!!!! *****️

				We visited Sitka this past week (July 2026), and we are so glad we picked Captain Gary’s whale watching tour as our Sitka adventure. Captain Gary and his assistant were wonderful. They really know the area and marine life well. You can tell they have a passion for what they do. We loved the smaller atmosphere of the boat. It was very comfortable and relaxing. We saw so many whales, sea otters, sea lions, and eagles. It was a great way to start our trip. I would definitely recommend this tour!

				Gary and cait are the coolest people on the water hands down. Had an epic time out on the ocean you really can’t get out in the Sitka sound with a better crew, I’ll put my life’s saving on that. The drive and passion to ID whales on the water is contagious. If I could give 100 stars I would. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone when visiting the area!!!

				I would give so many more stars to Gary and Katlyn. Such an amazing experience. One of the friendliest, funny,  and most knowledgeable tours I have ever been on along with seeing all the beautiful whales, otters, sea lions and eagles.

				Captain Gary and Kaitlin were amazing guides !  We had the BEST time.  Had great information and made it fun.  Saw lots of whales, sea otters and Sea lions. If there were 6 stars I would give him that.  Loved it

				Gary and Caitlin provided good informative commentary. They found and maintained contact with lots of humpbacks and told us what to watch for. Amazing. Also saw sealions, sea otters and harbour seals. Great photos!

				Captain Gary is awesome.  Our cruise ship arrived at port later than it had originally had been scheduled and Gary worked with us to get  our full tour in despite me being skeptical, sorry Gary :). We saw so many Whales, Sea Otters, Sea Lions and much more.  It was an awesome tour.  The only thing I regret is we did not also do the land portion of the tour.  If it is anything like the tour on the water it would be spectacular.  Highly recommend Captain Gary to anyone visiting Sitka..

				We did the Land and Sea tour with our family of 7 on 7/13/26, including my three kids and my in-laws, one of whom has major health issues. We saw the bears, raptor center, and totem poles, but the whale watching was the highlight.



We were nervous going in since our shore time was shortened by NCL and my father in law can’t walk fast. Gary was extremely accommodating and listened to our concerns, and everything worked out great.



He and his team are knowledgeable and fun, and we saw orcas, bald eagles, and humpback whales. The boat being covered and heated was a nice surprise too.



Highly recommend for families of all ages and abilities.

				Being with Gary on this excursion was the best decision. From the moment I called to book to the very last minute was amazing. Gary is so warm and very knowledgeable. He had so much fun with my daughter and me. It was exciting every moment. If you don’t go whale watching with Gary then ur missing out on the best excursion ever!!!
