This isn’t your typical tour, this is your day, your way. With up to 7 hours on the water, the agenda is entirely up to you. Want to venture into the far reaches of Sitka and explore untouched coastline? Let’s go. Prefer to spend hours watching humpback whales feed and breach? We’ll stay right there.

From sea otters and sea lions to eagles, bears, and whales, we tailor every moment around what you want to see and do. No strict schedules, no rushed stops—just a fully customizable adventure designed to give you the best possible experience Sitka has to offer.
Sitka Whale Watching With Hydrophones: Don't Just See It, Hear It
Every Sitka Expeditions boat is equipped with hydrophones, giving you the rare chance to actually hear humpback whales in real time as they begin coordinating bubble net feeding beneath the surface.
It's an unreal experience — listening to their calls build before a massive feeding event erupts. On our Sitka whale watching tours, you're not just watching it happen… you're connected to it before it even begins.

With multiple days on the water, you dramatically increase your chances of witnessing this rare behavior while giving yourself the time to fully experience everything Sitka has to offer.
