A Whale's Song Expeditions operates from Sitka, Alaska, offering marine experiences focused on wildlife viewing and photography.
The company provides a private two-hour charter for up to six people in Sitka Sound, where guests can look for whales, sea otters, sea lions, and diverse marine birds. For travelers and photographers seeking an extended expedition, A Whale's Song Expeditions runs a 13-day photography tour aboard the MV Catdaddy. That 13-day itinerary travels through Southeast Alaska’s coastal waters with a small group limit of six, combining daytime exploration of vibrant waters and serene coastlines with nights in remote lodges.
Trips emphasize small-group access to Southeast Alaska’s waterways and shorelines. The private charter format offers personalized attention and flexible routing based on marine conditions. The 13-day photography tour is designed for sustained time on the water and onshore, prioritizing photographic opportunities in off-the-grid locations across Southeast Alaska.
A Whale's Song Expeditions is featured on The Adventure Collective, a curated platform for adventure travel providers. The business’s clearly described trips — a two-hour private Sitka Sound charter and a 13-day photography expedition aboard MV Catdaddy — provide straightforward options for guests planning whale watching, wildlife viewing, or immersive photography experiences in Sitka and Southeast Alaska.
