I visited Alaska on a cruise and wanted to see some sites in Sitka. Sitka Wildlife Tours was…read morerecommended by someone in our group. We had a private shuttle to accommodate our group of 10. Our tour guide Brett took us to the Fortess of the Bear, the Raptor Center and the Park. Amazing centers that support the wildlife is such a great spot to visit. We had plenty of time to watch the bears communicate with one another and the staff at the centers. I also love that there are items in the gift shop that support the sanctuary so purchase those and know your purchase supports the wildlife. The Raptor center has amazing eagles, owls and other birds that are in need of medical help. Absolutely amazing to see them up close. The park has so much history on the natives, totem poles, and beautiful artifacts to see up close. If you're in Sitka I highly recommend you take this tour.

We visited Sitka on our cruise and had a great experience on this tour. The free shuttle to town…read moredrops you off right where the tour stand was so it was easy to find, and their vans were very nice and new looking. This was a small tour which we loved, only max 10 people; we had 8. Our tour guide, Bret, was very helpful, courteous and professional. He was also an excellent photo taker!! The raptor center and the Fortress of the Bear are both smaller venues so it doesn't take a long time to see everything. I think the tours allowed for 30 minutes at each place, but I think it would have been nice to have maybe another 20 minutes at the Fortress so we could have read some stuff and looked around more. There were so many bald eagles there too! The Sitka Nat'l Historic Park was beautiful as were all the totems, we walked a short loop around while our guide, Bret provided a lot of wonderful information. I would have loved to have gotten more time there to read a bit more in the museum and walk more of the the trails. If we get back to Sitka, we will absolutely come back and re-visit the park and trails. Bret shared information with us the whole time he was driving and we really learned a lot. Worth taking and less expensive than the cruise ship.

The driver,Rob. was so friendly and funny. He did a great job telling us information as we traveled, pointing things out along the way, slowing down so we could get pictures of some things on our way to the Eagle place and then the bear place. He stopped at Silverlake where we were able to see a whale in the water and get some pictures. In addition, he just kept us entertained all the way throughout and really moved us through each of the activities quickly and in a way that we learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves the entire time. If you are coming in on a cruise, I highly recommend booking an excursion through bumble.

Continental breakfast is advertised and all that was offered is bagels and toast, no protein which was expected with the continental breakfast expected. License not included in package price and limits on fishing not discussed prior to boarding the boat. Also, package states unlimited packaging of fish caught, but we were charged $10 per box of fish. Again, charged without any communication of these fees. Group of 2 treated considerably different than group of 12 on the trip. If you do not go fishing and stay at the lodge you will not be provided with lunch (and have no way to get food otherwise). The large group (a few people that stayed also) was provided lunch after group of 2 was told they would not get lunch because they stayed at the lodge instead of fishing that day. Also told new group was coming in early and we would have to be relocated to a hotel before our trip was over. This was very upsetting. As we paid for the entire stay prior to arrival. Paid over 3k per person, airfare and tip to boat captain, will not support this business again.

We arrived by cruise…read moreship, Michelle picked us up from the cruise port, which meant we didn't have to wait for a crowded bus ride to town. Since we got off in the morning hours, this also put us in front of all the crowds to visit Fortress of the Bear. Michelle also took us to places that the cruise line tours don't go. Since she lives in Sitka, she can show you and tell you many things that those big bus driver's cannot. She took us to places where we could get great photos and see areas that were clear of people, showed us different neighborhoods and areas of town, this made for such a nice relaxing morning. Michelle then dropped us off downtown so we could walk around and do a little shopping. We wound up taking the bus back to the cruse port. Michelle can take you back to the cruise port though, if you choose. She is very flexible and will work with you to provide the type of tour that will work for you. What I liked most about this tour is that my dollars when to support the local economy and Michelle also gave us some tips on who we could purchase items from that would also support the local economy and people. If you are on the fence about booking, it's worth every penny to book Michelle for your own private tour of the island. You won't regret it.
