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

Could not get tickets or find any information on the excursion. Got to port and asked everyone if they lnew anything about this tour….. no one did. Terrible website Terrible communication by your group Never found them and had to book a similar excursion with another tour group. If I could give you zero stars that would be generous. I will be requesting a full refund for services not provided!

Probably the worst experience I’ve ever had on vacation. Kept receiving emails telling me to claim my tickets yet could not get to the page. Cut on sure and try to find these clowns and they were nowhere to be found. Asked everybody and nobody had heard of them. Tried to call the phone number and it sends me to a phone number in the United Kingdom. Great customer service. if you’re going to do an excursion Alaska look elsewhere. Feel free to contact me Viator.
