Sitka is easily managed on foot. Guests are within three blocks of shopping, restaurants, schools, harbor, seashore and just a fifteen minute walk to trails, museums, galleries and central business district. Cab from bed and breakfast to business district and attractions is $4.50 (the minimum rate last season). The bed and breakfast is located within this "downtown minimum-cab-rate-zone." Sitka Tours airport and ferry shuttle buses bring guests right to the door and return guests to the ferry or the airport regardless of the time of day or night for a nominal fee ($3.00-$5.00). Save by purchasing a round-trip ticket for $7.00. Tickets are interchangeable and honored by both the ferry and airport shuttles.

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 so no need to pack extra gear nor be concerned about what you will do with your fish. Find the perfect Sitka, Alaska fishing guide and make the catch of a lifetime. Salmon and halibut may be caught nearly any time of year but the best times are:
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.
S itka 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.S everal of Sitka's trails, from brief easy strolls to somewhat difficult climbs, are within walking distance. Most of the various mountains with popular day trails are visible from the bed and breakfast allowing guests visualize the area they choose to hike after reviewing the trail data in the bed and breakfast library which includes:
A lthough locals rarely use umbrellas we have a good supply available by the main entrance and also have vinyl ponchos should guests prefer additional protection from Sitka's liquid sunshine.Fall, for Sitka Alaska attractions, 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. S itka is referred to as, "Alaska's winter Banana-Belt" since it infrequently drops below freezing for extended periods; the warm Japanese current and the cloud cover maintains pleasant wintertime temperatures at lower elevations.Y et, 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.
W hen 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).Return to top of page Other Resources Fishing Oceanfront Honeymoon General Interest Whale Watching |
