The driver,Rob. was so friendly and funny. He did a great job telling us information as we traveled, pointing things out along the way, slowing down so we could get pictures of some things on our way to the Eagle place and then the bear place. He stopped at Silverlake where we were able to see a whale in the water and get some pictures. In addition, he just kept us entertained all the way throughout and really moved us through each of the activities quickly and in a way that we learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves the entire time. If you are coming in on a cruise, I highly recommend booking an excursion through bumble.

The vans are nearly new, if not new. She is a great mother hen to keep everyone gathered together without any fuss, a splendid experience. This seems like a small and local tour operator that had a few vans driven by immediate family, this is where I really enjoy spending my money. Ann Marie gave us a true locals tour along with anecdotes from her time living here as well, giving us an alleviation for what it's truly like living in a version of paradise, much appreciated! When done back to Alaska and Sitka, will make sure to take this tour, or any other tour, they offer.

Along the way, our captain shared interesting facts about the area while we spotted bald eagles, sea otters, whales, and seals. Once we arrived, we enjoyed a fun and scenic ATV ride through the island's beautiful landscape. The entire experience was well organized, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. As an added bonus, the office is just a short walk from the cruise shuttle drop-off and conveniently located near the shops in downtown Sitka. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Sitka!

Awful! We cruised in on Holland America. Very calm seas. We went o suit up at 8:00. The bus…read moredriver said we were running late? How. Our ticket said 8:00. The facility to suit up was extremely clean. The suits were clean and had no smell. That is where the good ends. Went o the dock. Met Captain Dave. Asked him if we would be going to the cave. No, way too windy. Would not be near it. We were going to focus on birds in the bay. You have got to be kidding me for $199 each. We went to an outcropping of rocks. We stared at star fish and two small birds for 15 minutes. Then he saw a whale. We went in that direction saw a little bit of the whales back. Dave said it was shallow do the whale would not dive deep so no fluke would be seen. 30 seconds later the fake came up, but naturally our cameras were away as we were told too shallow for the whale to dive that way. Dave waited about 15 minutes more for the whale to come up. No whale, he finally left. During this time very little talking. Very little boat movement. The raft was in silence. Then he goes to a small island we see what he says are otters. I think they were. We were so far away I am not sure. Then some more otters, we were so far could not see them well. Then some little bird with a red long beak that he was thrilled about. He then went by a black sand (volcanic) beach. A couple of eagles, and a nest that you could barely see. Then back to shore. We got undressed. A woman came up to the van driver and said something about being late. So they wanted our driver to go into Sitka. All of us were ok with that so she dropped up there. Our tour ticket says it started at 8. It was now 10:15. The tour was supposed to be 1 1/2 hours long so they ended our tour early. Extremely boring. No thrills-----none. Not a little bit. If you have ever been on a lake in a speed boat---way less thrilling than that. Boring. Thank god he ended it early. Not what was described and paid for. Holland America said how people passengers and crew love the tour in other words--too bad so sad you wasted your money. No love here. Very tame, extremely boring ride. Nothing to recommend it except hat the gear was in good clean condition
