Paddle Silver Bay’s shoreline on a 210-minute Sitka kayaking tour, watching for eagles, seals, sea lions, deer, and bears.
About this tour
Paddle into the quiet waters of Silver Bay on a Sitka Wildlife Kayaking Tour, where forested shores and open water create a beautiful setting for spotting Alaska wildlife. As you follow the shoreline, keep watch for eagles overhead and seals or sea lions near the water. Sitka black-tailed deer and bears are also often seen in the area.
This 210-minute outing offers time to enjoy the natural surroundings at an unhurried pace. Kayaks, life preservers, paddles, and dry bags are provided, along with bottled water. The launch point is on Sawmill Creek Road: continue past the point where the pavement becomes gravel, pass the first gate, and look for a landing on the right about 100 yards farther along. The guide’s truck may be difficult to spot.
Set out for a close-up look at Sitka’s coastal scenery and wildlife. Book your Sitka Wildlife Kayaking Tour and spend a memorable stretch of time on the water.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
