Sitka Private Island Experience

Trade Sitka’s busy waterfront for a day on your own private island. This exclusive experience takes your group to Mertz Island of Misfit Toys, where forest trails, an emerald cove, and a quiet shoreline set the scene for a memorable escape.

Spend the day hiking through a 4-acre forest, kayaking in the cove, or paddleboarding along the shore. Your visit includes private transportation, watercraft with safety equipment, and a spread of appetizers, a gourmet boxed lunch, non-alcoholic drinks, and dessert. After exploring, gather for a beachside bonfire and gourmet s’mores. Pickup and drop-off are available from the cruise terminal, a hotel, or the harbor; the listed meeting point is the tour van loading curb in front of Harrigan Hall.

Sitka Private Island Experience is designed for private parties of up to six, with larger groups available by request. Guests should be comfortable climbing into and out of a boat, navigating uneven ground and stairs, and handling potentially wet conditions. Book this rare island escape for a day of outdoor adventure, good food, and room to unwind with your group.
