Sitka’s wildlife 

Set out into Sitka Sound on an Alaskan-built tour boat for a day of exploration. This vessel has been specially designed to navigate Southeast Alaska's narrow island passages and bays, allowing for spectacular manoeuvrability while wildlife watching. As you listen to the onboard guide’s narration, keep an eye out for the variety of marine mammals found here, as well as black-tailed deer and Bald Eagles. 

*While we're excited to share the unique flavours of this region with you, it’s important to note that allergy awareness and hygiene standards can vary widely across the world. The local community providing food for this tour may not be as familiar with allergy concerns or preparation standards as suppliers in your home country or the expert chefs onboard our ships. As a precaution, we advise anyone with a severe food allergy to contact a member of the onboard Expedition Team before booking this excursion.
