Nothing short of incredible! - Check-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. - Excellent 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.

Awesome - Mike was an awesome tour guide. He made us feel like friends right from the start! Exciting to see people care about our country & wildlife

Fun for our Family - We 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!

I highly recommend this tour - Hudson was our tour guide. He was very nice and respectful. He knew a lot about the area and was a great tour guide He even dropped us off back at the cruise terminal

Sitka - Gretchen was a wonderful guide. Had a strong passion for the raptors and the bears. Would strongly recommend

Sitka shore excursion. - We had a fabulous time in this small group tour. Saw a bear, the raptors and very beautiful totem poles. Highly recommended tour to go on!

Bad - Nothing like I expected. Very disappointed. Driver was not very good! 😥😕😟🙁☹️. Do not waste your time

Glorified Uber ride to places you could walk to yourself. - It was a glorified Uber ride to places that we could have walked to ourselves. Supposed to be small group, but really 3 vans of 12 traveling together. Our driver was kind of clueless didn't want to wear his seat belt and alarm kept ringing until he would finally put it on 5 minutes in after we said something. We asked him questions but he didn't know the answers. He admitted he doesn't have a spiel about what we were seeing so not a guided tour. He didn't stop to take pictures like other van driver did. And didn't really drive well. So now for the "tour" itself. It was very rushed with not enough time at each location. First stop raptor trust. Tickets if we went on own would be $16. It was cool seeing the injured birds and learning about them. We only had 30 mins to explore. Next stop fortress of the bears. That was disappointing. I saw 4 bears living in an enclosure kind of small. Felt sorry for them. I've seem better ones at zoos. $15 ticket cost to get in. Next stop totem pole park. Getting off the van ( no picture he was like well I guess we could do this later) We walked to the salmon bridge. The driver did talk about the salmon and give some info. Then said walk around with only about 15 minutes then time to get back to the van. You need WAY more time than that. Visitors center was very informative, movie to watch and native artifacts which was free!. That alone was over15 minutes. The totem park is 113 acres with 20 totem poles. You need at least an hour for that alone. While walking around we found a path that lead right to the raptor trust! We did not take the van back. We stayed longer explored and walked back to town. The totem pole park is an 8 minute walk from town. We could have walked to the park and did the raptors on our own and it would have cost $16. Bears not worth seeing. I paid $339 for 2 people and admission cost was only $62. It was by no means a guided tour, way overpriced. Don't do. Very disappointing.

Terrible provider, terrible communication - Could not get tickets or find any information on the excursion. Got to port and asked everyone if they lnew anything about this tour….. no one did. Terrible website Terrible communication by your group Never found them and had to book a similar excursion with another tour group. If I could give you zero stars that would be generous. I will be requesting a full refund for services not provided!
