Top Sitka Hiking Tours

Experience a beautiful Alaskan experience hiking around Beaver Lake. This is an excellent hike for seeing wildlife: we pass by waters that are known for whales, eagles, and jumping salmon. Pick berries at the guidance of your professional naturalist guides, and wonder at the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. Breathtaking natural rock formations, crystal clear lakes, and mountain-fed streams.

Discover Tongass, the biggest National Forest in the U.S., with the help of a local guide who’s got a wealth of experience hiking in the area and knows the best routes for your group’s skill level. Your guide helps you forage for berries and mushrooms and tells you about what life is like in Sitka. Keep a lookout for bald eagles and, during the right time of year, salmon spawning.

Experience Sitka atop an electric bike to help you get around faster and see more than you ever could if you tried exploring on foot. Staff help you plan the best route for you, considering the sights you want to see and the level of activity you want for the journey.
