  Exactly as advertised. Not only did we get to see a lot of whales but we also saw sea lions and sea otters. He also took us to look for bears but there weren’t any out. We had a great time and would definitely recommend using this company!! If you are a small bunch you are much better off doing this more intimate tour than one of the huge crowded boats.

  I know there is never a guarantee that the whales will breach but the captain was talking with other boats and other boats got a good show somewhere and we did not and I would have thought for the price we would have moved where the others were. We saw 2 whales that each breached once so no cameras ready and whales never came up again so quite a disappointment when one of many reasons u come to Alaska is to see the whales and really saw nothing and especially for the price.

  This tour captained by Rick Urias at Sitka Sound Tours was outstanding. Having grown up exploring the sound with his brother, his ability to share little known details of the area and locate wildlife excelled.

  An Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommend! We had an incredible time on Rick’s wildlife and whale boat tour! The boat itself was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with extra amenities that made the experience even more enjoyable—snacks, water, books, kid-friendly nature items, and binoculars for spotting wildlife. Rick is a native-born local with a deep knowledge of the area and its wildlife. His passion and stories added so much richness to the tour—we enjoyed talking with him as much as we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. We were lucky to see an amazing variety of wildlife, including whales, sea otters, seals, and more. It was truly a magical day on the water. We would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If we come back, we’ll absolutely book with Rick again!

  We love Capt Rick and his easy breezy laid back excellent guiding! He is so familiar with the waters and the ways of the wildlife and we so easily saw sea lions, sea otters and about 6 humpback whales and bald eagles and a huge nest! We highly recommend this guide and tour! We are still in awe!
