A cruise on Sitka Sound is a mesmerizing spectacle offering a chance to observe all sorts of wildlife -- sea otters, whales, sea lions, porpoises, harbor seals, brown bears, black-tail deer, bald eagles and a variety of marine birds.
Board an Alaskan-built expedition vessel designed to navigate Southeast Alaska's narrow island passages, allowing for wildlife viewing at close range. The boat features a warm cabin with enclosed seating, large windows and a topside observation deck for unparalleled photo opportunities and to fully experience your quest with all your senses.
Along the way, an onboard naturalist will explain the workings of this remarkable ecosystem. You'll also learn about the sea otters' recovery following their near-extinction at the hands of Russian fur hunters in the early 1800s.
Please note: Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed; however, the tour operator's sea otter, whale, or bear sighting success rate is 99%. Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. Wheelchair access may be difficult; please consult your cruise line shore excursion department before booking for details. Electric scooters cannot be accommodated.
