Water Taxi / Bear Excursion Tour

Unique Wilderness Waterways: Bear Expedition via Water Taxi Tour

Maximize your time in Sitka with our "Sea it All - Wildlife Water Taxi and Land Tour." Skip the shuttle lines as you step onto your private water taxi right off your ship.

Your journey for up to 6 begins with a one-hour water taxi ride through Sitka Sound's pristine waters, immersing you in nature from our heated vessel with opportunities to encounter wildlife. Upon reaching downtown Sitka, the adventure transitions to a scenic two-hour land exploration. A guided tour in our hybrid minivans traverses Sitka's landscapes, visiting Silver Bay, Thimbleberry Trail Waterfall, and Whale Park, each offering a local glimpse of Sitka's natural beauty.

As a highlight, your expert guide leads you through the Fortress of the Bears, witnessing the majesty of these creatures up close. Our carefully timed trips avoid the busiest periods, ensuring an optimized experience. Conclude your tour in downtown Sitka, exploring shops and attractions on your own or enjoying a stroll along the picturesque harbor.
