Adventures

"Nothing but ocean and mountains ..."

This is what provides for truly spectacular adventures in the Sitka area. There are hundreds of islands, fjords, coves, and inlets waiting to be explored. All within daytrips by kayak.

And Sitka has something that no other town in Southeast Alaska can offer, paddling for every skill level. That's because we have the Pacific Ocean. We are the only town located on the coast. That, combined with the hundreds of islands and inlets, means we can offer paddling for any skill level in any weather condition.

Feel the thunder of the ocean swells crashing on the rocky shoreline with nothing between you and Japan except miles of ocean.

Or skirt the exposure by sneaking behind the rocks and islands for a more moderate paddle.

Or paddle the expansive placid waters of Silver Bay or Deep Inlet. It's all right here.

Hiking

Sitka is fortunate to have some of the most beautiful hiking trails in Southeast Alaska.  We have a full range of difficulty levels: from wheelchair accessible wildlife viewing trails; to the rocky peaks of the mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Sitka Sound. Sitka is truly a kayaker's and hiker's dream-come-true. 

Beachcombing and Wildlife

But there are also plenty of opportunities for exploring the area by mountain bike.  We have trails that wind along the salmon streams and trails that challenge your legs and lungs to the top of Harbor Mountain.
