Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to go on the Sitka Coastal Wildlife Cruise?

A: The summer months are usually the best for wildlife sightings, especially from June to September. This is when the weather's milder, and you'll have a higher chance of seeing whales and sea otters. Spring can be nice too, but the wildlife isn't as active yet. Just remember that the weather can be unpredictable, so layering up is a good idea!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the cruise? My son is 7.

A: Great question! There’s no strict age limit for kids on this cruise, so your 7-year-old should be just fine. Just make sure he’s comfortable on a boat, as it can get a bit choppy. The crew is super friendly and loves when kids are onboard, especially for wildlife spotting!

Q: Can you bring your own snacks and drinks on the cruise?

A: You can bring your own snacks, but the cruise does provide hot cocoa and coffee, which is nice! Just keep in mind that there's limited space, so maybe just a small bag or light snacks would work best. Enjoy the ride and the views!

Just did the Sitka Coastal Wildlife Cruise and it was amazing!

I went on the cruise last week, and wow, it was breathtaking! We saw a ton of sea otters and even a couple of humpback whales. The crew was super informative, sharing local lore and history. I loved that you could choose to sit inside or on the deck. Pro tip: definitely take binoculars for the best views! Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting!

Thinking of gifting the Sitka Coastal Wildlife Cruise!

I'm considering getting this cruise for my dad’s birthday. He's really into wildlife photography and would love the scenery. Just curious if it’s suitable for older folks? He’s in good shape but not super steady on his feet. Also, how’s the parking situation?
