Captain Gary’s Best of Sitka was excellent. - This was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Riley, was a local who knew his stuff and was able to give us so much information. Book a later time. We booked an 8:30 tour but due to a medical emergency on the ship the previous day, we docked an hour late. The tour had to end at the same time. It was ok because Riley did an excellent job. The van was new and very clean. Snacks and water provided as well. I would use Captain Gary’s Sitka tours. They were great communicating with us throughout and helped expedite our tour quickly.

Ryan was a great tour... - Ryan was a great tour guide, and the small group setting made it feel more personal. We got to see the bears, raptors, and the totem poles as described, which proved to be very interesting. It was amazing to see the bears and the raptors so close up, which was a real treat. I would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect Experience - This was a very enjoyable, low-impact excursion. Our guide Ryan was exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We enjoyed every stop. We never felt rushed. The tour operators were very mindful about getting us back to the ship on time. World class all around!

Professional and Fun Company! - We booked this tour when our cruise ran out of excursions. Initially, I was afraid to book off cruise. This company was great. So easy to communicate with, sent great instructions! Big thanks to Koali for being so communicative. Such a great tour. Ryan took us to the Raptor Sanctuary, to see the Totems, and the rescued baby bear sanctuary. Great tour, great tour guide. Thank you all!

The best of Sitka - This is a fantastic tour. The Raptor centre, Totem park and Bear sanctuary were all really interesting and definitely worth a visit whilst in Sitka. Our guide Ryan was excellent and brought the tour to life adding lots of additional information about the Sitka area and indigenous people. I would definitely recommend this tour it was well organized and thoroughly enjoyable..

Riley rocks! Fun tour! Learned lots! - Our tour guide Riley is Sitka-born and raised and made our small tour group of folks relax and laugh and comfortable enough to ask questions in front of strangers. Neither my husband nor I are Alaska-born and it’s the openness of both the land and the people that sustains us, for decades now, in South Central Alaska. Riley exemplified what we like to experience: Alaskan openness without pretense. Sitka is a magical place and Riley’s engagement was personal and professional, anecdotal without being “canned”. Riley reassured us on time at every stop, so we could see eagles and owls and hawks, black bears and brown bears, totems and old forest, and then carry away some sense of what makes Sitka a place like no other in history and in the present. Koali with whom we coordinated a change in date for our tour was terrific at responding by phone and text to meet our needs.

So-So - They over booked the excursion and we were packed in the van like sardines, so the ride was uncomfortable. I’m not sure it was really worth the price.
