Sitka Wildlife Cruise and Homestead Discovery

Excursion Overview

Learn about life on the Homestead and explore Sitka Sound

Start your adventure by boarding a cozy, fully enclosed, and heated expedition catamaran at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal. Enjoy a scenic cruise through Sitka Sound, known for its rich wildlife, with chances to spot sea otters, humpback whales, and bald eagles. Continue into Silver Bay Fjord to look for the rare ABC brown bear, a subspecies of brown bear only found in Southeast Alaska.

Pause at Medvejie Hatchery in Bear Cove, a leading contributor to Southeast Alaska's wild salmon populations. Then head to the McGraw Family Homestead, where you'll be greeted with a campfire, warm beverages, locally smoked salmon on crackers, and s’mores. After about 40 minutes, board the Coastal Adventurer for a relaxing return cruise to the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal, enjoying stunning mountain views, including Mount Edgecumbe, and a new route that offers more breathtaking scenery and wildlife opportunities.

While wildlife is abundant in Southeast Alaska and sightings are possible on any tour, wildlife sightings can not be guaranteed!
