About Coastal Tours Sitka
Coastal Tours Sitka is a full-service tour operation offering whale watching, wildlife viewing and fully customised boat tours in the waters surrounding Sitka. Based on Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska, the company caters to cruise passengers, independent travellers and private groups looking to explore Sitka Sound and its abundant marine life. It prides itself on a flexible, guest-led approach to every outing.
A typical tour runs between two-and-a-half and five hours and comfortably accommodates up to six guests, keeping the experience personal and adaptable. Cruises head out in search of humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, Steller sea lions, harbour seals and bald eagles, with captains adjusting the route to follow the wildlife and the weather. Custom itineraries can combine wildlife viewing with sightseeing around the historic Sitka waterfront and nearby islands.
The operator's strength lies in its fully customisable, small-group format — guests can shape the tour around what they most want to see, whether that's whales, bears on the shoreline or a scenic run through the islands. That personal service, paired with experienced local captains, makes Coastal Tours Sitka a reliable choice for a tailored day on Sitka Sound.
