Best Whale Watching Tour in Alaska - When whale watching in Sitka Alaska the small boat tours are the best. In that category there is none better than Sitka Sound Marin Wildlife Tour led by Captain Mike Miller. Captain Miller is both accommodating and informative. He knows the area and he shares his knowledge. We had a special needs person on board and Captain Mile went out of his way to make that person feel welcome and safe. Being in a smaller boat (just two couples) Captain Mike could tailor the trip to our desires. Great job Captain Mike.

Sitka Safari delivers, rain or shine! - Sitka Safari goes above and beyond every year for our annual camping trip! We saw sea lions and otters on the way. Mike is very knowledgeable of the marine mammals around Sitka. Top notch service with a great attitude and paddling hard to get us and all our gear safely to shore. Sitka Safari is reliable, friendly, and truly committed to making sure we’re taken care of from dock to campsite. Can’t recommend them enough!
