Go Further.

With so many attractions within walking distance of downtown, it’s easy to stay close, but exploring beyond the main strip can expand your experience in Sitka. Dive deeper into

the culture and breathtaking wilderness

by checking out some of Sitka’s trails and nearby islands.

Access Sitka’s mountains by renting a bike and hitting the Cross Trail or peddling up and down Harbor Mountain Road for a real workout—and perhaps the best view in town. Take in coastal views while riding the 14 miles of paved road that stretch from one end of Sitka to the other. Short on time? Do it all by car with a hired taxi or create your own tour with Sitka Car Rental to find stunning ocean views and whale spout sightings.

For those who hope to experience the ocean and marine life up close, kayak tours are available through Sitka Sound Ocean Adventures while Sitka Self Charters provides boat rentals. If you’re planning to spend some time exploring the nearby islands, Four B Charters, Sitka Alaska Outfitters, and Sitka Sound Ocean Adventures offer water taxi services for a smooth and comfortable trip. With drivers and captains who enjoy showing off their home, you’ll get the inside perspective of locals along with fast, easy transportation

to more remote sites.
