Sitka has excellent halibut and salmon fishing and it's only minutes from the door. The local Sitka Alaska charter fishing boats take great care with their clients and their clients' catch. They will have your fish processed per your specifications and shipped frozen to your home on the date you select so you will be there to receive your prize catch. They also provide all of the equipment. Spring in Sitka is especially beautiful and our driest months of the year. Bald eagles are spotted year round but are especially abundant March through early July. Visiting Sitka at any time of year is a pleasant experience but June is especially rewarding since world class musicians from five continents travel to Sitka to present the finest in chamber music concerts. Concerts are held Tuesday and Friday evenings throughout the month of June. |

Sitka offers some of the finest sea kayaking in the world. Kayaks are available to rent from several outlets in Sitka which can provide you with single or double seat kayaks, gear and training to operate safely with guided trips also available. Diving gear, boat and bike rentals are also available in Sitka. Fall is full of excellent Alaska whale watching opportunities. Whales are commonly seen from shore at whale park; and whale watching cruises during the winter months offer reduced rates. Whale enthusiasts find the Sitka "Whalefest," an annual early November event, fabulously informative. |

Snow boarding, snow mobiling, extreme skiing and sledding are popular winter activities in the mountains at Sitka's back door where the higher elevations receive a heavy snowfall. When the clouds move out, the temperature plummets, and tiny Swan Lake freezes. Families enjoying ice skating present a picture reminiscent of the past from Currier and Ives and the clear skies offer the opportunity to view one of the most famous Sitka Alaska attractions, the elusive, colorful, dancing, celestial curtain known as the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). |
