Awesome adventure,  our tour guide Anna was the best. She is super friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend you going on one of her tours if you are in Sitka.

We can not thank everyone at Bumble Expeditions enough for the tremendous experiences and loving memories we made in Sitka, Alaska.  Our family of 6 adults did not want to cruise to Alaska, we wanted to dive in to the area and stay there. Our vacation rental company referred us to Bumble and we couldn't be more grateful. I reached out to Sara and she emailed me back right away  asking "why we chose this spot and what were we hoping to do/see?"  Well, our life story poured out explaining that 28 years ago we were supposed to go to Alaska for our honeymoon, but life happens. Sara was moved by our story and suggested we renew our vows on her island. WHAT?  So not on the radar and now this vacation takes on a whole new meaning. Sara and Cole set us up with a land and sea adventure one day and another sea adventure that would lead to the vow ceremony on the island. Our first sea adventure was filled with beauty and awe of the scenery around us. Tall mountains covered in pine, swooping Eagles, loud sea lions, adorable otters wrapped in weeds (so momma can keep an eye on the little ones)  AND huge humpback whales that effortlessly splash around and keep you mesmerized. We met Rob as we disembarked from the boat. Rob is a great guy with a passion for working with people. We went to Fortress of the Bear, he drove us past several things that he explained we could do on another day (in walking distance from where we were staying, and we hiked through a forest trail brushed with moss that looked like something out of a fairytale. It's a rain forest. He was so detailed and yet still making jokes and keeping us smiling. Then it was off to a delicious meal at the café. We took his advise and strolled through Totem Park - came out the back like Rob suggested- and ended up at the Rapture's sanctuary. That night, Sara texted that the Northern Lights were shining and she sent Rob to come pick us up to star gaze and watch the show in the night sky. She didn't have to do that-- so happy she did! The next evening, Cole picked us up and we headed to the Island. She made us dinner, chatted, and laughed as though we were long lost friends. Kindness goes along way. My husband and I headed down to the guest house were we had the best night's sleep relaxing to the sound of small crashing waves underneath the cabin. The next morning, She brought down fresh baked bread, jam, and coffee. Just then, Cole says we have to go because there was a pod of ORCAS spotted close by. We go pick up our kids and set out for what will truly be one of the best and most special days of our life. We watched graceful beasts glide and jump.  We watched a large momma push a young calf and maybe a teenager whale ( I am no biologist) towards the shore for hunting as she stayed back. And yes, we watched sea lions fly.  They have no wings, but Orcas do play with their food. I felt like David Attenborough sneaking up on nature and catching just a glimpse of it's true beauty. It was breathe taking. I can't say enough about the WHOLE THING. And just as our adventure at sea ended, Cole drove us back to the island and was handed a list from Sara (she didn't go- she stayed back and got things ready for the ceremony and dinner).  When you live on an island, running to the grocery store has a new meaning. Without blinking, Cole, wet and tired, took the list. We enjoyed brie and fruit roasted over a fire for lunch with mini sandwiches.  Dinner had salmon dressed in different sauces and massive King Crab Legs.  Sara also had a friend from the café bake a cake with fresh berries Sitka roses candied on top. I could write 6 more pages and it still wouldn't fully express to you how special our time in Sitka was to us. If it weren't for Sara, Cole and everyone at Bumble Expeditions, we would not have had those experiences.

Had a great expedition, whale watching (saw a few), otter and sea lion, black bears and brown bears!  They are so knowledgeable and friendly!  I highly recommend going with Bumble!  Small tours and lots of fun!!!

Cole was a GREAT captain. He got us VERY close to  both Grey Whales and Humpback Whales as well as a raft of Sea Otters and some Sea Lions.  Our boat got up close and personal where the other boat with a lot more people was not anywhere as close.  We got some fantastic pictures and would highly recommend his services.  As for our lunch, the food was terrific and the service exceeded expectations.   This was the best excursion I’ve been on this cruise.

Highly recommend this tour! Sitka was our stop on our Royal Caribbean trip to Alaska. Our guide, Rob, was prompt, professional, and excellent at answering all our questions. The small group setting and comfortable Mercedes Sprinter made the day very relaxing. Highlights included seeing amazing raptors (eagles, owls, falcons) and bears. Plus, Rob gave us a direct drop-off right at our ship. Five stars!
