    This whale watching tour in Sitka, Alaska was absolutely unforgettable! Parker was outstanding—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about marine life. He made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. We saw humpbacks breaching against the stunning backdrop of Sitka’s rugged coastline. The boat was well-equipped, and the entire experience felt both thrilling and serene. A must-do if you're visiting Sitka!
