Sitka Port Guide-What to Do in One Day in Sitka, Alaska

#travel #travelvlog #alaska #cruise #sitka

When cruising Alaska, the port time is really limited, so we knew we wanted to make the most out of each port, and fit in everything that was important for us to see while in Sitka, Alaska.

You are definitely going to see really expensive tours in Sitka, but the one we found was the perfect combo for us of having small tour groups, getting to see all the attractions we were interested in, and having time to explore on our own as well.

We chose Baranof Tours and the Simply Amazing Sitka Tour: Fortress of the Bear, Alaska Raptor, & Totems.

Our day started off by taking the free shuttle into town and then arriving at Harrigan Centennial Hall where we were met by our tour guide who helped us into a small van that held about 10-14 people.

He took us on a scenic drive before arriving at our first destination Fortress of the Bear. Fortress of the Bear is a rescue facility for both brown and black bears.

Then we headed to the Alaskan Raptor Center to see bald eagles and owls, and other birds that are either being rehabbed or being kept safe.

Last up, we headed to Sitka National Historical Park where we learned about the Tlingit and Haida Totem poles and some Indigenous history.

Once our tour was over, we walked through town where we experienced some local cuisine. We sampled reindeer hotdogs, crab mac and cheese, black cod tips, and the infamous Alaskan Crab Leg.
