Customer Reviews
Our tour with Captain Rick was on the last day of our 2-week trip to Alaska and we absolutely saved the best for last! Rick personalized our tour to what we wanted to see and was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in Sitka. We saw tons of humpback whales, sea lions, otters, baby eagles, and even a bear catching salmon on the shoreline! Rick's boat is very comfortable and allows for some incredible views. He also grew up in Sitka so hearing his perspective made this tour all the more interesting. I could not recommend Coastal Tours more, amazing experience!! :)
We had an amazing whale watching tour with Rick and Coastal Tours Sitka! The weather was absolutely perfect, and Rick knew exactly where to take us for the best viewing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the area, which made the experience both fun and educational. We saw so much wildlife—whales, sea lions, otters, and salmon. The boat was the perfect size, very clean, and even had snacks and water available. There was a covered area on board, though with such beautiful weather we didn’t need it. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Sitka, and I’d highly recommend Rick and Coastal Tours to anyone visiting!
Rick was an awesome guide and very informative! He knew exactly where to go to view wildlife. We saw salmon jumping, brown bears, whales, eagles, and sea otters. He was also great with our 5-year-old! His boat is spotless and comfortable and there were snacks and water bottles provided. Great experience!!!
