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.

5.00Check-In was simple and smooth. The lady at the Centennial Hall was very friendly and kind to our kids. Our tour guide, Gretchen was phenomenal. She was engaging, knowledgeable and down to earth. She presented a lot of information and encouraged/fielded questions from our small group. She even drove us back to the port which was a huge relief because we were concerned about not making it back to the ship before embarkation. Sitka is beautiful and somewhere I’d like to visit again. This tour was the highlight of our cruise to Alaska.
Great tour.

5.00Excellent experience. Great tour guide Mike kept us informed and entertained. There were 6 people in our party, 10 in the whole tour. Initial frustration that we didn’t receive info from the booking company until a few days before. The little Sitka museum in the Visitor Center is worth seeing while you wait for the van.

5.00We 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!
