Experiencing Southeast Alaska and its incredible wildlife is a must for any visitor, and there’s no better way to do it than aboard the Goleta, right here in Sitka. On this tour, you’ll have the chance to view and photograph Humpback Whales, Orcas, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Bald Eagles, Puffins, Brown Bears, and a variety of sea birds.

Please note, wildlife sightings depend on the weather and time of year, and while we do our best to provide an unforgettable experience, there is no guarantee of spotting specific animals.

With extensive experience on these waters as a commercial fisherman and dedicated surfer, I can offer unique insights into the local ecosystem and the day-to-day family life in Sitka. Each tour is personalized to suit the day's weather conditions and your individual goals, ensuring a memorable adventure. With only six guests per tour, I can offer a more intimate and comfortable experience.
