Although late in the season, we enjoyed incredible weather, sunny and about 60-62 degrees. The tour was done on a very personable level, with a van and only 8 of us. We sat in the back seat of the van and had no difficulty getting in and out. Our guide was Aakatchaq, a native Eskimo woman who was incredible. She was very informative, and although not from the area, she did go to the boarding high school in Sitka and able to give us a lot of local history and information which was helpful. We were able to visit all three locations listed in the title and found them all to be wonderful. the Raptor Center was very informative and a very worthy cause helping many injured birds of prey recover from mostly man caused events. The Fortress of the Bears was another very worthy endeavor started by a young man who is attempting to help cub bears who have been left orphaned by different events. If left in the wild, the cubs would not have survived. At present he has about 4 brown, 3 black and 2 brown bear cubs. The final visit was to the Totems in town and the visitor center where we viewed a film and learned about the history of Sitka.
Overall we were very pleased with our choice of this tour while in Sitka.
