Sitka Whale Watching Shore Excursion 2 hr 30 min

Set out from downtown Sitka for a close-up look at Southeast Alaska’s coastal wildlife aboard the Goleta. This 150-minute Sitka whale watching shore excursion keeps the group small, with no more than six guests, so there’s room to settle into the cabin or step onto the open deck with your camera.

Watch the water and shoreline for humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, bald eagles, puffins, brown bears, and other seabirds. Sightings depend on the weather and time of year, so no particular animal can be promised. Your local guide draws on experience in these waters to share insights into Sitka’s ecosystem and daily life in the community. The route and experience are tailored to the day’s conditions and your interests.

A heater, bathroom, and spacious cabin add comfort between wildlife sightings, while bottled water, snacks, and life jackets are provided. Meet beneath the covered shelter at the top of Crescent Harbor Dock, beside Harrigan Centennial Hall, and look for the CTS logo. Join this Sitka whale watching shore excursion for a personal, unhurried way to explore the coast.
