Excursion Overview

Come adventure on this multi-stop scenic tour through Sitka, Alaska

Meet with your skilled local guide at the Harrigan Centennial Hall as you climb aboard a full-sized passenger van heading south down along Silver Bay. Your guide will point out local flora and fauna such as bald eagles or Sitka Black Tail Deer.

Your first stop on your Journey will be at The Fortress of the Bears. This non-profit facility is home to 7 native bear rescues, 4 of which are Coastal Brown Bears and 3 Black Bears. You will get within 25 feet of these native giants and listen to their stories of hardship and recovery.

After you spend time with our bears, you will head over to The Alaskan Raptor Center. This rehabilitation center for birds of prey is home to multiple species of eagles and owls. Make sure to check out the famous Flight Training Center where you can see bald eagles regaining their skills of flight, well on their way to recovery and release back to the wild.

The grand finale of this tour is a stop at the Sitka National Historical Park. This protected stretch of rainforest is a historical piece of land due to its collection of totem poles, the 19th century battle of the Sheeta Kwan Kiksadi Clan, and the gorgeous cultural center with onsite interpreters. Here you can choose to walk along the winding trails and paths, admire the totem poles, learn all about the occupation of Russian American troops, or inspect the exhibits and demonstrations about carving, fur, beading, and metalworking.

We saw the raptor rehabilitation center, the fortress of bears, coastal scenery, the coastal rain forest and national park. According to reports from other cruise guests, we saw more things on this tour than we would have seen on the excursion included in the cruise price, so it was worth the money. It would have been better if it had not been raining, but it was still a good tour. The high point of the tour for me was to see the trout running in the stream in the rain forest. There were thousands of them trying to swim up stream. I've never seen anything like it before and it was worth the price of the tour in itself.

We enjoyed parts of the tour, however it was a little underwhelming. With the seating at the Raptor center we thought there would be a lecture and an up close look at the birds. Staff at both Raptor and Bear were really not approachable. We appreciated the trail being closed out of caution for visitors and bears.
