Want to get away from the crowds and enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature? Our guided small group hiking tours are unlike any other excursion offered. With local, professional guides, your experience is sure to be a highlight of your visit to Alaska.

Your guides will provide information on the local culture, flora and fauna, and history of this special place. You'll get to explore the best kept secrets of Sitka on foot!

This tour is best suited to adventure seekers and those who like getting off the beaten path. Hiking in Sitka is challenging with rugged terrain and steep climbs. This tour is not recommended for those who simply want a photo - we are situated in a rainforest where weather and wildlife sightings are NOT guaranteed.
