5 to 5.5 Hour Private Excursion

About This Adventure:

With five to five and a half hours, there's room for the day to unfold around you. You can hike farther, move at a relaxed pace, spend more time enjoying the landscape, and potentially experience several different types of scenery around Sitka. It's a great choice when you want your hike to be subject of your day rather than something you simply fit in between other activities. This longer private guided hike can work especially well for Harbor Mountain and Gavan Hill when you want time to reach the alpine hut, enjoy the surrounding scenery, or continue farther beyond the cabin. Depending on conditions and your group's interests, your guide may also build the experience around waterfalls, lakes, muskeg, coastal areas, rainforest, or more than one trail. Your guide selects the trail or trails on the day of your hike based on weather, trail conditions, wildlife activity, your group's preferred difficulty and pace, and the interests shared when booking. If you have a particular trail in mind, there is a place to include a trail preference in your booking request. Your preference will be prioritized when conditions allow, although specific trails cannot be guaranteed. Having more time means you don't have to choose between making progress on the trail and stopping to enjoy what you find along the way. There is room for photographs, wildlife viewing, breaks, conversation, and exploring places that catch your attention. If you want to make a full day of getting outside and give yourself the greatest flexibility to explore, the 6–6.5 hour option provides even more time. Total experience time: The time selected is the total time for your experience, including transportation to and from the trailhead and time spent hiking. It is not time spent on the trail alone. Pickup is at the location of your choice, such as a cruise dock, vacation rental, or hotel. Included: Private local guide who carries safety equipment, transportation, hiking poles, bug spray, snacks, water. Pricing: $575 for 1 or 2 people, and $175 for each additional person, up to 7 people total. Groups of 8 or more, please request a quote. Prices do not include applicable taxes.
