Six of us, from eleven to 56, went out into the sound for four or so hours this summer, with Dana as our guide. Beautiful day, scenery and experience. I can't recommend the time enough, and Dana is as good as they get, in pleasant personality, charm and knowledge.

My wife and I visited Sitka Sound on our Alaska cruise (Celebrity Century) in Sept and had a wonderful kayaking experience with Sitka Sound Ocean Adventures. Directions to the Big Blue Bus were easy to follow and on arrival we were greeted by Allison who helped us complete some paperwork before giving us each a "soon to be world famous"... More

We had no problem finding the location even though our cruise ship was the first to dock instead of tender requiring us to be shuttled to Sitka. We were soon outfitted and Ajay had us practicing our paddle work. I have been in rougher water, but never the size of swells we saw as we headed out. We were very... More

These people know how to put together a great Alaska experience! They made sure that we were comfortable with what we were going to do before we even got on the water. Our guide took us to the places where we could see the most sea life and wild life. They knew where to go to find what we were... More

SUPER !!! Nice harbor area (a lot of small islands), wild life around, scenic views and great guide - Greg (!). We had 2.5 h of wonderful paddling, we were lucky to have calm water, so we can go far enough (see picture). At the map: first leg is from cruise ship to the shore, then walk to the meeting... More

My Aug 20 trip was Perfect - left me wanting more. Mitch, my guide, was an encyclopedia of the rich history of this stunning place. He tailored our trip to my particular interest - sea otter watching.
