Sitka Nature

Luis_E, Nov 2023

Great small group tour with friends and family. Enjoyed everyminute of this nature experience. Great views of Sitka observed.

Love the Bears

Sharon_T, Sep 2023

Our van driver, Flo, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Enjoyed the Bears and Raptors. The totem part wasn’t that great, but we appreciated Flo for who she is as a native of the area.

Fun 'Highlights' Tour

David_G, Sep 2023

The tour was a quick but all encompassing visit to some of the most interesting places in the immediate Sitka area

Great tour in a small group (7)

Edith_L, Sep 2023

Our Sitka tour guide was (Kyle) very nice and informative tour in a small group (7). Seeing the salmons swimming up stream iin Sitka Alaska is a must 🥰

Seeing Sitka

Gaenel_W, Aug 2023

Nice quick tour. Have been to this area before. Would like to have time to see the demo at the raptor center. Didn’t see eagles this time perhaps because of the time of day. My suggestion is to go early in the day.

Good overall experience.

David_H, Jul 2023

The excursion itself was great. Christian was a great guide. There was an issue with the arrival time. The emails showed one time. The tour operator showed a different time 4 hours later. We found things to do for three hours but had to adjust our plans for the day.

3 small stops. Good little tour.

ERICA_T, Jul 2023

Mike the tour guide was great. Stops are very small and quaint. If you enjoy the chance to walk outside and see some animals you will enjoy yourself. Don’t expect a commercial experience. Great taste of what sitka has to offer.

Wonderful day in Sitka

Meirav_B, Jul 2023

We had a lovely tour and we learned a lot of information about Sitka bears and the totems. Our guide was Gretchen and she was lovely. I would highly recommend this tour in Sitka.

Unprofessional

James_R, Jul 2023

Holiday online never showed up and never let us know. Wasted our day. No contact from us at all. Very unprofessional.

We covered a lot of venues in a short amount of time thanks to Christian.

Shayneh_S, Jul 2023

Our guide Christian was wonderful. Since we were in a small group, we were able to see pretty much everything. We could have had more time at the Totem Park. We did not get to see everything including the movie at that stop. There was a misconnect at the beginning as to our start time. We requested a 1:00pm start time and when we got there, we were told 2:30pm which would not have worked with getting back to the ship on time. They did change our time to accommodate which was greatly appreciated. This was our first small group tour. We did feel the price was a little high. We Paid $139 for adults and others said $89.

Eagles, Totems and Bears!

Joseph_O, Jun 2023

Great experience. Like a lot of these tours, the guide can be the difference between good and great. Guide Mike made the tour great! Excellent local knowledge and info for each of the three stops!

Cajun Visitors

Mark_T, Jun 2023

Wildlife Adventure

James_R, May 2023

Sitka Wildlife Tour

Lauren_K, May 2023

Deanna was an excellent guide. She's a native of Sitka and very knowledgeable of the area. She tried to connect with each person in the tour group which made the trip very enjoyable.

Fun

Jennifer_P, May 2023

Great tour that was booked rather last minute. Enjoyed our guide and the small group we were with. Timing was also good.

perfect for calm, low energy folks

Norma_B, May 2023

Most memorable would be the bear sanctuary. Would appreciate a little more history and understanding of the towns economics, history, and current events

Small and personal

Gary_E, May 2023

12 passengers in small van. Guide was great with history and some personal stories. We stayed in front of the hordes of tourists from the cruise ships that overrun the small town and tourist sites

Bears were awesome!

Michael_S, May 2022

The bears were awesome. The guide did a fine job. We enjoyed learning about the different parts and reasons for the Totem poles.

Tour super but viator company not good. Did not give infor on time to meet. Could not download documents.

ebmaud, May 2022

Bears amazing. Raptor rehab center excellent and the National Totem Park great. Saw famous carver finishing a 9” totem pole. Beautiful scenery and a highly informative local guide. Highly recommend visiting these sights

A complete disappointment

Zvonimir_s, May 2022

We are deeply disappointed by your attitude regarding tours in Sitka.We booked and pay tour SITKA BEARS, RAPTOR CENTER AND TOTEM park.A night ( 1 30am) seven hours before the tour we received notice that the tour canceled.You give us money, but we are lost tour and we had to make it by ourselves.Very irresponsible and unprofessional.
