This fun and adventuresome nature safari takes you to remote, volcanic Kruzof Island.
Head to a local jetty and board a boat for a fast, fun ride through numerous picturesque islands. Keep an eye out for American bald eagles, sea otters and sea lions.
As you approach Kruzof Island, your skipper will point out its volcanic rock formations. Step ashore to meet your guide and get acquainted with your Polaris Ranger 4x4 vehicle. After a quick safety orientation and operating instructions, it's your turn to drive. Follow your guide on a trail through the forest, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Cross bridges over rippling streams with seasonal salmon runs and pass a wildflower meadow on your way to a scenic estuary. Pause here to search for wildlife such as Alaska coastal brown bear and Sitka black-tail deer.
After enjoying a snack, it's time to ride back to the jetty and take the boat back to Sitka.
