river exploration . “ We have the outer coast , the inside passage , mountains , beaches , wildlife , fishing , hiking , kayaking , and photography ,” explain Brooks and Cameo , when noting why Sitka is an ideal yacht touring destination . Guests can chart their own adventures , winding around smaller islands , kayaking the shorelines , hiking the temperate rainforest , and fishing in plentiful rivers . “ Every day is full of possibilities , and letting our guests experience the freedom to explore , just as we ourselves have , is a really cool experience for us .”
If your bucket list includes a private sailboat experience , Sitka offers multiple options . Sailing is an active way to experience the pristine waters of the Inside Passage , and Sound Sailing can host up to six guests on the 50-foot M / V Bob . Sailing Alaska Unlimited can sleep up to eight on the 46-foot S / V Shamrock . Both all-inclusive companies will create personalized itineraries to show you the Alaska you want to see .
Guests can also explore Southeast Alaska while on a cruise . The Boat Company gives passengers an upclose look at glaciers and even stops along deserted beaches , allowing guests to go ashore and experience the Alaska wilderness under their feet . UnCruise Adventures follows a different course , offering 7-night , 12-night , and 14-night excursions that lead guests through glacier-filled waters and on hiking and biking tours across uncharted areas . Through Alaskan Dream Cruises , guests can book experiences ranging from dogsledding trips to zip-lining through the rainforest to intimate wildlife viewing experiences aboard one of their small vessels .
