I don’t think a guided tour could get much better than this. Captains Brandon and Ellena are truly top notch. Their knowledge and passion for what they do is unbelievable. We experienced more in the 4 hours with them than we expected to get throughout our entire weeks trip. If you want to experience what Sitka has to offer and you don’t choose to do it with them, you’re not getting the best.
