Kayaking with a pro
If you’re craving an up-close and personal way to explore Alaska’s waters, join Sitka Wild Coast Kayaks for a 4-night, 5-day guided kayak expedition. Spend your days paddling through quiet coves and along rugged shoreline where whales surface nearby, sea lions play, eagles soar, and, if you’re lucky, you might spot bears fishing in the streams. Each evening, return to Elysium for a hot meal, a cozy bed, and a good night’s rest before the next day’s adventure.

Charter fishing with a pro
If you want to really hit the fish hard and have a shot at bringing home halibut, lingcod, or a freezer box full of salmon, we will partner you with Ambition Guide Service out of Sitka, AK. The owner, Joshua, will take you out for a full day on the water, then bring you back to Elysium for dinner, stories, and maybe a little bragging.
You can always drop a line aboard Elysium, but if you’re after halibut and bragging rights, Ambition Guide Service is the ticket.
