What To Expect

Sitka

Sitka's Bald Eagle Center operates with bird care professionals assisted by volunteers to rescue birds, provide them with rehabilitative care and hopefully release them back into the wild. After your introduction to the center, a presentation with one of the Center's educational birds will take place. Time will be available to view the flight center, clinic window, outside deck habitat areas and gift shop.  

Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park

Next, you'll visit the Sitka National Historical Park, where the 1804 "Battle of Alaska", was fought. The park hosts totem lined trails, cultural exhibits and carving rooms where native Alaskan artisans demonstrate their totemic art form. Walk the nature trail, view cultural exhibits and video presentation, or talk with local native artists about their cultural art form.  

Sitka

The final stop is visiting the Fortress of the Bears, which allows you get within 25 feet of Alaska's brown bears in a naturalized setting. You will enjoy observing 3 populations of bears from a covered viewing platform and interact with an experienced naturalist. After the bear tour, you may disembark on the main street to shop or be returned directly to the tender pier. Overview • 1 hour guided roundtrip narration via bus • 20 minutes at Fortress of the Bears • 1 hour at the Raptor Center • 1 hour at the Sitka National Historical Park • 30 minute visit at St. Michael's Cathedral

We had a fantastic driver/guide for our trip! Loved seeing the raptor sanctuary and seeing the majestic birds up close. The Bear sanctuary was fun too. Watching them play and eat was great. Finished it up with a trip to see the salmon running which was awesome and some totem poles. Great trip!
