This was an incredible experience that I would strongly suggest. We got to see bears, whales, sea otters, sea lions, and eagles. The husband and wife duo were amazing.
Captain Matt and his wife Julie proved to be the ideal guides for our adventure. The entire experience was beyond our expectations.
Matt was fantastic. The boat was spotless, and I never felt nauseous, which is a plus! He was friendly and provided thorough answers to all our questions, showcasing his knowledge of the area. We will definitely come back. Thank you, Clinton and Mariah.
A wonderful couple dedicated to maintaining their boat. They put in great effort to ensure that their guests are comfortable and feel they are getting good value for their money.
This was truly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. Captain Matt was very friendly and knew the best spots to view marine life. We encountered sea lions, seals, otters, and whales. Even though our time was limited, Captain Matt ensured we accomplished everything we wanted in a shorter timeframe. He provided a lot of information and made the trip memorable for our group. If I return to Sitka, I will definitely reach out to him again.
Nature takes center stage on this tour. While we couldn't see everything, Captain Matt did an excellent job navigating us around, and we spotted many whales, sea lions, and otters.
Matt is a fantastic tour guide who truly exceeded our expectations to provide an exceptional experience. We were fortunate to see whales, bears, otters, and sea lions. I will certainly recommend Matt to anyone traveling to Sitka.
Our experience with Sea Piper Tours was fantastic! Captain Matt was not only friendly and knowledgeable, but he also made the journey incredibly enjoyable. The stunning scenery, wildlife, and the comfortable boat made this the best part of our visit to Sitka.
We had a fantastic experience. The boat was smaller yet very sturdy, accommodating only five passengers, which allowed us easy access to the railing for wildlife viewing. We encountered many grey whales, sea otters, bald eagles, and sea lions. The boat was well-designed, featuring covered areas and the ability to reach spots that larger, crowded vessels couldn’t access. The crew was both knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend this wonderful experience.
Our time on the boat with Captain Matt and Sofia was fantastic. They were very welcoming, and the boat was well-maintained and spacious. The tour duration was just right, allowing us to see otters, sea lions, and whales. Thank you both for an unforgettable experience!
