The ultimate Alaska experience begins as soon as you board an Alaskan-built expedition vessel in Sitka. While you settle into the comfortable cabin, the knowledgeable captain and crew will provide a safety briefing and orientation.
Once underway, feel free to move about the vessel, including the spacious outside viewing deck. An on-board naturalist will provide narration explaining the remarkable ecosystem of the area. (S)he will point out places of interest and wildlife throughout the voyage. Sea otters, whales, harbor seals, brown bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles and a variety of marine birds are all commonly seen in the area. Your captain's local knowledge ensures the best possible viewing experience on any given day.
At Fin Island Lodge, indulge in a delicious Alaskan feast of crab, wild salmon cooked over an alder wood-fired grill, prime rib, homemade side dishes and dessert. Coffee, tea, cocoa, lemonade and water are also included. Alaskan-brewed beers, wine, and soft drinks are available for purchase. A breakfast twist on the signature Fin Island feast is offered for tours arriving before 10am. Vegan and gluten free options are available at any time.
After the meal, you may choose to beachcomb, explore the beautiful island, or relax next to the cozy beach fire. When the adventure concludes, it's just a short cruise back to Sitka.
Please note:

Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
