We loved our tour of Sitka with Kealoha! She met us right off the cruise dock so we were able to bypass the crowds coming from the ship to other tours. Kealoha was so friendly and told us fun facts about Sitka that only locals, like herself, would know. She had an immaculately clean Suburban that fit 5 adults more than comfortably. You can choose your own adventure! We visited the three places we wanted to see: the fortress of the bear, the raptor center and the national park. Kealoha timed our visits to the sites outside of when the large tour buses were there so we had a great, less crowded experience everywhere. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a more personalized and chill experience in Sitka.
