Making Memories Sitka, Alaska Style
Go on a whale-watching tour.
As one of the top reasons people head to Alaska, whale watching is a Must Experience activity. Grab your camera and get ready to see many different whale species. You may see grey, orcas, minke, and humpback whales, depending on the time of year. This is an impressive sight, though not predictable, so have your camera close by. Captain Rick will tell you when you are in “whale territory.” To book your whale-watching experience, contact Captain Rick of Coastal Tours Sitka.
Take a Sea Otter and Wildlife Boat Tour
Alaska’s wildlife is one of the biggest draws for guests, so why not spend a day getting in touch with nature? A sea otter and wildlife adventure is a wonderful way to see whales, sea otters, sea lions, porpoises, bears, and other animals. See it all aboard Goleta, where Captain Rick is your guide as a naturalist who can answer all your questions about the animals and Alaska’s unique ecosystem.
