Absolutely! Our private tours are designed with cruise guests in mind. We'll coordinate with you ahead of time to customize the experience around your ship's schedule, your interests, and your activity level, and we guarantee you'll return to your ship with plenty of time before departure.

Booking is simple! Fill out the form on the Contact page indicating your preferred date, tour, and group size, and we’ll handle the rest. If you need assistance, please email olgathomas@tidecrestadventures.com to customize your perfect Sitka hiking experience. We'll work with you to select the best trails based on your interests and fitness level.

All of our hikes are operated as exclusive private tours. Because you are reserving a professional guide and vehicle solely for your group, we use tiered private-tour pricing rather than per-person ticketing. Our base rate covers one to two guests, which reflects the minimum cost to operate a private excursion. Additional participants may be added at a reduced rate. This structure ensures transparent pricing, high-quality service, and truly personalized hiking experience.

We understand plans can change. For a full refund, please cancel at least 7 days before your scheduled hike. If you cancel 3-6 days in advance, we offer 50% refund. You may reschedule your hike during this time if space is available. Cancellations within 2 days or less before your hike, or no-shows, are non-refundable, as private tours cannot easily be filled. If we need to cancel due to weather or safety concerns, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.  (We understand that cruise itineraries can change due to circumstances outside your control. If your ship is delayed or missed port, we'll do our best to reschedule your tour, and if that isn't possible, you'll receive a full refund.) Contact us directly to discuss your specific situation - we're committed to working with you to find the best solution.

All our tours are private and personalized designed for small groups of 1-6 people! Your group size is entirely up to you - whether it's a romantic couple's adventure, family expedition, or small group of friends; we never combine unrelated parties – your guided experience is completely yours. This ensures personalized attention, flexible pacing, and the intimate wilderness experience that makes Sitka's temperate rainforest truly magical.

Our private tours are customized to your fitness level and hiking experience! Whether you're a beginner wanting gentle rainforest walks or an experienced hiker seeking challenging alpine terrain, we'll design the perfect adventure. We can discuss your comfort level when booking to ensure an enjoyable experience.

Wear comfortable hiking boots or shoes with good traction, dress in layers for Alaska's changing weather, and bring a waterproof jacket. We'll share detailed packing recommendations when you book. We provide water, snacks, and hiking poles for your adventure with us!
