Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the whale watching tour in Sitka?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Sitka Premier Whale Watching Tour. However, they suggest that younger kids should be at least 5 years old to enjoy the experience fully. The guides are great with kids, but it helps if they can understand instructions and enjoy the wildlife without getting too restless.

Q: What should I wear on the whale watching tour in Sitka?

A: Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in Sitka. A lightweight waterproof jacket is a must, and don't forget comfortable shoes since you'll be on the boat deck. Also, wear a hat and sunscreen if it’s sunny—Alaska's sun can be sneaky!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on my tour date?

A: Sitka Expeditions monitors weather conditions closely. If they have to cancel due to bad weather, they’ll offer you a reschedule or a full refund. It’s best to keep an eye on the forecast and contact them if you have concerns before your trip.

Just did the Sitka Premier Whale Watching Tour - Amazing experience!

I recently took the Sitka Premier Whale Watching Tour, and wow, it was so much better than I expected! Our group was small, just 10 of us, and it felt super personal. We saw a humpback breach right next to the boat! The guides were super knowledgeable, even pointed out sea otters relaxing on the kelp. If you’re thinking about gifting this experience, do it! Worth every penny. Prices are very reasonable too, especially for such few people!

Thinking about gifting the Sitka whale watching tour - any thoughts?

I wanna get this whale watching tour for my parents who are coming to visit. They love nature but have never been on a whale watching trip. Is it worth it? How’s the experience with such a small group? Any tips on making the day special? I just want to ensure they have the best time possible!
