Description

Experience the heart of Alaska's historic capital city with the expertise of a local guide! Join us on the Simply Amazing Sitka Tour, commencing from the Harrigan Centennial Hall, where you'll embark on a comfortable journey aboard a spacious passenger van. As we traverse Sitka's picturesque roads to the south, keep your gaze skyward for the majestic sight of bald eagles soaring overhead and Sitka Black Tail deer grazing amidst the verdant foliage. Along the shores of Silver Bay, framed by majestic peaks, keep watch for glimpses of Humpback and Minke whales during select seasons, and pause for picturesque photo opportunities.

Continuing our captivating excursion, our next destination on the Simply Amazing Sitka Tour is The Fortress of the Bear, a sanctuary dedicated to the well-being of Alaskan bears. Here, you'll forge intimate connections with our resident Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears and Black Bears, gaining valuable insights into their lives and the vital conservation efforts supporting them.

Our journey then leads us to The Alaskan Raptor Center, a haven devoted to the rehabilitation of birds of prey. Marvel at the advanced flight facilities and encounter a diverse array of rescued eagles, owls, and other majestic raptors indigenous to Southeast Alaska.

Concluding our immersive tour, we arrive at Sitka National Historical Park, an enclave of temperate rainforest steeped in cultural significance. Traverse the park's winding pathways, adorned with ancient totem poles, and delve into the history of the 19th-century conflict between the Sheetka Kwan Kiksadi Clan and Russian American troops. Guests can opt for a leisurely stroll through the park or engage with the cultural center's knowledgeable interpreters and captivating exhibits, showcasing traditional Alaskan crafts such as carving, fur work, beading, and metalworking.

The Simply Amazing Sitka Tour promises an unforgettable exploration of Sitka's finest offerings, leaving you with cherished memories to last a lifetime!
