Inside Waters Wildlife and Scenery Tour
Overview
After doing large boat tours for years, I wanted to provide a package that a family on a budget could afford and get the chance to be on the water. I’ll take you to the same areas my family goes on year round.
Dress really warm as you’ll feel the breeze on this this open skiff. The beautiful scenery and wildlife are worth it! Sitka’s local waters are stunning and I am proud to show them off!
If I can get you a view of wildlife or scenery you hoped for, that’s all I need to feel the reward of my job! Beware of the occasional dad jokes!
Inclusions
- Life Jackets
What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Sitka, Sitka, Alaska
Our licensed captain will meet you at the Crescent Harbor stall # 39. After a safety briefing and weather update, will ask you your interests for the tour.
Popular options include sea otter, sightings, whale sightings, and breath taking scenery in the protected wilderness waters past Sitka.
Expect to feel the wind on your face as this will be an open boat that most comfortably seats five guests, but can take up to six.
By far this is the most budget friendly tour but that does not mean any less value. Captain Sam has been boating Sitka waters commercially and recreationally for near 20 years now.
The captain loves to see faces light up when others take in sightings of beauty and wildlife.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Sam gave us a great tour of the waters near Sitka! He was friendly, accommodating, and quite knowledgeable of Alaska and its natural environment. It was a rainy day, but he had lots of rain gear on board for us. We saw sea otters, sea lions, a bald eagle, and lots of gulls and ducks. He took us into areas a cruise ship could never navigate. He answered my many questions about the trees and vegetation, area, weather, and life in Alaska. This was a great way to add an up-close and personal experience to our cruise ship trip!This Captain was amazing and the trip was well worth the money we spent. Saw all kinds of wildlife, but the best was at the very end when he took us to a place where there must’ve been 20 to 30,000 pink salmon swimming in the stream and we were right on top of them. Thank you from my dad and I. I...

This was an incredible experience. Our three kids cannot stop talking about this. Sam was so great. He is super knowledgeable and took us on such a good local trip. We saw a whale, tons of fish, bald eagles, otters, sea lions, etc. He knew right where the bears usually hang out. It was so fun to spend time with a local and not a big commercial operation. We will definitely book this again when we are in Sitka next time.We saw whales, sea lions, otters, jumping salmon, and so many birds! Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly. His boat was comfortable and he had some snacks and a pair of binoculars too! Our kids had a great time especially!
