You can tell these tours and experiences are created with love for the island and people! Everything was perfect and fully catered. Thank you Bumble Expeditions ❤️
The Island is gorgeous. Situated just a short boat ride from Sitka proper, you have everything you could possibly need. Spectacular views! Sea life! And the tremendous hospitality of Sara and Cole who provide a welcome and cheerful home away from home. I love the place. Highly recommend it anyone.
Bumble Expeditions is truly a once in a lifetime experience. This is a fantastic tour that is full of splendid views of Sitka Sound’s spectacular nature and wildlife. Sarah and Cole are amazing hosts sharing their love and knowledge of the area. This is not a corporate tour with a cookie cutter experience. Sarah & Cole will listen to your individual interests and make sure you have a memorable experience.
Cole and Sara are so much fun to go out on the water with. They are careful and safe and know what they are doing. Getting out on the water is really the best way to see Sitka and the area. The wildlife if so awesome and so much fun to see. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience Sitka this way.
Our family stayed here and we had a blast! Sara and Cole are amazing hosts and the island is beautiful. The fishing is great in the area as well. Tons of wildlife and gorgeous sites to see. I highly recommend visiting!

About Our Tours
From a dream sparked by a leap of faith to Alaska, driven by our desire for adventure, we (Cole and Sara) have nurtured Bumble Expeditions into the unique travel company we are today. As newlyweds at the time, our journey began with a shared passion for exploration and discovery.
Our tours offer unique glimpses into the wilderness and Alaska landscape, crafted for small groups who are seeking authentic encounters with the diverse wildlife and stunning landscape. We honor the land and its original stewards. The Tlingit people have been indigenous to this land for over 10,000 years. Gunalcheesh to the Tlingit people for their stewardship of Tlingit Aani since time immemorial and today. Bumble Expeditions LLC acknowledges that we live, work, and play on Tlingit Aani.
Beyond the journey, we want you to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, including customizable itineraries and delicious food along the way. Join us, and let our family help you explore the heart of Alaska! We can’t wait to meet you.
