Black and brown bears are the main attraction at this wildlife rescue site. Here, animals that are unable to return to the wild have free access to playgrounds and open space to roam. It’s one of the best places in Alaska to safely see a black bear or grizzly from a short distance away.

3 Great sites to see
Our guide/driver was great and very patient & informative! We really enjoyed all three sites but felt that 30 min per stop was not enough time. Even an added 15 minutes at each would have been better.

Excellent snapshot of Sitka
Salmon spawning in the river was incredible and fantastic close ups of bears and raptors. Also amazing sights of totems. Although the tour was short it packed a lot in. Thanks

Great Tour in Sitka!
Our guide Rob was great giving us tons of info about Sitka. We all loved Fortress of the Bear learning a lot about the Black and Brown bears. We thought we were going to miss the tour as the cruise ship was late. They were so responsive they sent a van for us to the port!!!! Would definitely recommend this tour!!!!!
