Private The Best of Sitka Deluxe Tour
What your day looks like
Reserve a tour for your private group of up to 10 guests. This amazing tour leaves nothing on the table, covering 4 of Sitka's top destinations. Our tour begins at the Harrigan Centennial Hall where you'll come aboard a comfortable full-size passenger van. We'll head south on Sitka's road system. Along the way, we might spot bald eagles in the treetops and Sitka Black Tail deer grazing on the brush. We’ll contour Silver Bay, a body of water surrounded by high mountains. In the later months, Humpback and Minke whales can sometimes be seen here. With time and weather permitting we’ll stop here for photos. Near the end of the road system, we'll arrive at The Fortress of the Bear. This non-profit rescue facility is home to seven Alaskan bears. Here we'll get up close and personal (on a platform we view them from a safe distance) with our six rescued beautiful Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears and three Black Bears--the only black bears on Baranof Island.

We had 2 vans for a total of 20 people. Mike was our driver and he was fantastic. Very energetic and knowledgeable. We visited the Raptor Center and Fortress of the Bear. He also stopped at a beautiful water view for photos. Great way to see the cites.
Our guide was personable and accommodated our timing needs. We saw amazing highlights and felt like we got a nice experience in Sitka.
