Active, adventurous travelers will love taking a small-group snorkel tour around Sitka Sound to experience the underwater world. You’ll be fitted with a semi-dry suit to keep you warm in the cold Alaskan water. Your guide will keep you safe and lead the way as you look out for octopus, rockfish, anemones, and other cold-water creatures that call Sitka Sound home.

What To Expect
Our gear kit includes the following:
7mm wetsuit
mask and snorkel
7mm dive gloves
7mm dive booties
dive hood
flippers
Our experienced guides will assist all guests to make sure they are able to don the suits. Once everyone is properly suited up and outfitted, we will all hop in the Snorkelmobile and drive to one of our two dive sites.
At the dive site, we will walk down into the water over a rocky shore. Both dive sites have relatively easy, walk-in entry, but will require walking over rocks.
Once in the water, our knowledgable guides will swim with you, using a foamy surfboard in case anyone needs to rest or has any trouble. Our guide will also help point out wildlife.
After 40-60 minutes in the water, we will all gather onshore and dry off.
Afterwards we will drop our guests off downtown for their next adventure. If you are on a cruise, we will work with you to make sure you don’t miss your departure.
