Sitka is a unique town located on the Outer Coast in Southeast Alaska. Sitka’s open ocean brings waves, currents, and aquatic creatures, which create an amazing underwater world of extreme abundance and biodiversity, making it one of Alaska’s best places for water activities. This town is rich in culture and history and is perched on the rugged western edge of Baranof Island and framed with picturesque island-studded views. The location of Sitka offers a maze of wide passages and countless islands to explore, but much of this environment is only accessible by an expedition boat and kayak. No need to worry, though, as many tours offer sea and water adventures.
