Independent Tour - Sitka

[Cattravel10]

For the past two years, I have done the Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest through the ship. This next June am thinking of doing something different, but the same kind of excursion. Who has booked with whom and how was your experience. And, how many people on the boat. I prefer a more personalized experience. Thanks!!

We went on a 4-hour wildlife cruise with Capt. Davey on the Esther G Sea Taxi last July, and it was a GREAT excursion. His boat takes only 6 people: http://www.puffinsandwhales.com

Our 4-hour trip with Captain Davey in 2006 was so amazing ( http://www.youralaskacruise.com/reviews/alaskacruises2006/page4.html ) that we chartered the boat for the whole day (8 hours) in 2007 and then found 4 other people to share it with us ( http://www.youralaskacruise.com/reviews/2007/page4.html )

Davey of Esther G is WONDERFUL! You can't go wrong. Make sure he takes you to St. Lazarius.

We're doing a semi-private kayak trip...price completely reasonable and they only require a $35 deposit Can't think of the name of the company but if you're interested let me know.

Thx everyone for your responses. I've decided to go with Capt. Davey. It sounds wonderful. Now for my next question, does anyone have their E-mail address. I tried alaskadavey@qci.net and it came back to me. Hmmmm!

GCI isn't the most reliable Internet/email provider in the world. It's almost certain to be just a temporary bump in the service - try it again later.

I've always just called Davey. He is great to talk to! Remember the time change for Alaska.

We are also interested in a kayak trip while in Sitka. Any specific suggestions would be appreciated!

We did the sea kayaking trip through HAL's shore excursions and weren't disappointed. It was really fun - took a Zodiac (bumpy ride!) out to a secluded cove, then got into two-man kayaks with 3 or 4 kayaks to each guide. The paddling was smooth and easy, even though it was raining it was gorgeous! We saw tons and tons of HUGE jellyfish in the water, it was just spectacular! Lots of eagles too. They pulled up a crab trap to show us as well. Our particular guide was very familiar having grown up in Sitka, and he told us many stories about the area, it was so much fun!
