The ultimate Sitka experience begins when you board an Alaskan-built expedition vessel. Feel free to move about the vessel, including the spacious outside viewing deck.
An on-board naturalist provides narration explaining the remarkable ecosystem of the area and points out places of interest and wildlife. Sea otters, whales, harbor seals, brown bears, Sitka black-tail deer, bald eagles and a variety of marine birds are all commonly seen. Your skipper's local knowledge ensures the best viewing experience on any day.
At Fin Island Lodge, indulge in a delicious Alaskan feast of crab, wild salmon cooked over an alderwood 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.
You may choose to beachcomb, explore the beautiful island, or relax next to the cozy beach fire. When the adventure ends, it's a short cruise back to Sitka.
Notes:
Vegan and gluten-free options are available at any time. Please notify the Shore Excursions team of any dietary restrictions. Tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wear sturdy walking shoes. In case of inclement weather, Fin Island Lodge offers a place to stay warm and protected from the elements. Terrain includes a marine ramp from the pier to the boat, which can be very steep at low tide. You will have free time to explore beautiful Sitka on your own before or after the tour. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
