About Sitka Wild Coast Kayaks
Sitka Wild Coast Kayaks specialises in small-group, bespoke kayak expeditions along the remote coastline of Southeast Alaska. Rather than short harbour paddles, the company focuses on multi-day wilderness trips ranging from the South Baranof Wilderness to the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness and beyond. It caters to travellers who want a true expedition into some of the least-visited coastline in North America.
Trips are custom-built around guests' interests, fitness and experience, with expert guides handling everything from sea kayaks and camping equipment to route planning, tides and backcountry logistics. Itineraries thread through fjords, outer-coast islands and protected wilderness areas where brown bears, whales, sea otters and seabird colonies are part of the daily backdrop. The emphasis is on immersive, self-sufficient wilderness travel with a strong Leave No Trace ethic.
What distinguishes Sitka Wild Coast Kayaks is its commitment to genuinely wild, low-impact expeditions in designated wilderness areas — small groups, seasoned guides and an intimate knowledge of Baranof and Chichagof island waters. For experienced paddlers and adventurous first-timers willing to commit to a multi-day trip, it offers a level of remoteness few outfitters can match.
