Fantastic Day! - Our original tour was cancelled and we stumbled across this tour at the tourist center in Sitka. The day was brilliant, we had such a good time! We saw bears up close, feeding and frolicking, otters suntanning, sea otters swimming about and the best of all a full breach of a humpback whale right in front of us! It was spectacular! We highly recommend this tour, friendly, accommodating, well worth your time and money.

Fabulous tour! - This is a very small vessel so it's really a personal experience! Captain Parker listened to what we wanted to see and was able to show us humpback whales, sea otters, a beautiful wild waterfall and a wild brown bear. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating - we had a perfect experience!

Great experience - Saw a ton of whales, salmon, otters, and sea lions. Our guide was very personable and knew the area well. He has a good relationship with the other tour guides so they were helping each other find the whales. Definitely recommend this tour

Great service - Our tour guide was not able to take us but he took all the work out of rebooking and found us someone else to take us. And we had a fantastic time with captain Brad in Sitka nautical tours.

Excellent time! - Patrick was very good about communicating with us about the pickup point and any other questions we had for him. We weren't out in the ocean 5 minutes and this huge whale jumped right in front of us! It continued to preform for us and give us an awesome show. After that, we went around trying to see bears or something else. We were able to see lots of Salmon jumping up right next to the boat. It was a very good day!

An absolute MUST tour! - Brad was absolutely amazing! We are SOOOO glad we chose this excursion! Brad picked us up right at the port dock. It was a private tour with our group of five. We have done several whale tours but always on larger boats - it was totally different on Brad's small boat - phenomenal! We recommend this tour with 10 stars out of 5! 😁
