The experience

Out on the water, you keep your eyes open for sea otters, whales and coastal brown bears, while the views of Sitka Sound stretch out around you. Hot coffee, tea or hot chocolate is on hand onboard the vessel. On the way, a historically active volcano comes into view as you pass it, with no stop needed.

Your first stop is the meal: Alaska crab, fresh caught fish and prime rib, the kind of spread that asks you to sit down and take your time. Then comes Fin Island Lodge, a private island where you wander the beaches and grounds. The lodge staff make you feel welcome from the start.

Inside the main cabin, large windows keep the sound in view, and when you want a closer look at the wildlife, you step out onto the outside observation deck. Back on the beach, the cozy fire is where you slow down, with s'mores in hand and the water spread out in front of you.
