What To Expect

Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park

At Sitka National Historical Park, you’ll step into Alaska’s rich past while surrounded by towering totem poles, lush temperate rainforest, and a stunning coastal backdrop. Stroll the scenic totem-lined trails, where intricately carved poles tell the stories of the Tlingit people, their traditions, and their resilience. Wander through the majestic Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rainforest in the world, where moss-draped trees, babbling streams, and fresh ocean air create a peaceful, awe-inspiring escape into nature. As you cross Indian River, keep an eye out for salmon swimming upstream to spawn in late summer and fall—a powerful sight showcasing Alaska’s wild beauty. At the visitor center, explore exhibits on Tlingit craftsmanship, Russian-American history, and the 1804 Battle of Sitka. Whether you're drawn to history, wildlife, or breathtaking scenery, this park is a must-visit gem!

Fortress of the Bear

At Fortress of the Bear, you’ll come face-to-face (safely!) with rescued Alaskan brown and black bears in a stunning natural setting. Unlike a zoo, this wildlife rescue and education center provides a spacious, naturalized habitat where the bears can roam, play, and interact much as they would in the wild. From elevated viewing platforms, you’ll get unobstructed, photographer-friendly views of these incredible animals while knowledgeable staff share their rescue stories, behaviors, and conservation efforts. This is more than just a viewing experience—it’s a chance to connect with Alaska’s wildlife and learn how Fortress of the Bear is giving these orphaned bears a second chance at life. A must-see for animal lovers and nature enthusiasts alike!

Riley was an awesome guide. Being from the area he knew a lot of the history and it was an absolute pleasure to travel around with him and would definitely do it again. I would highly recommend this to tour to anyone at anytime to learn about the bears and the raptor center. Thanks for a great time.

Meeting at cruise terminal went smoothly and it was a small group of 13. Raptor Centre was great. Loved seeing the eagles being rehabilitated before being released into the wild. Resident raptors were easy to see and looked well cared for. The bears at fortress of the bears were awesome. Loved seeing them playing and inquisitive. Totem park was good but you need to do visitor centre first to get information sheets as there was very little information as bout the totems on the loop. Would have liked more time at the bears but would definitely recommend, Ryan our driver/guide was excellent
