Meet resident eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls while learning about raptor rehabilitation at Sitka’s Alaska Raptor Center.
About this tour
See Alaska’s remarkable birds of prey up close at the Alaska Raptor Center, a bald eagle hospital and educational center in Sitka. This one-hour visit pairs encounters with resident raptors and a closer look at the work that helps injured birds recover.
Join a guided tour to meet eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls, and learn about their natural history and the center’s conservation efforts. The 17-acre campus borders Tongass National Forest and the Indian River, with natural habitats for birds that cannot return to the wild. The center treats 100–200 injured bald eagles and other birds each year, with the goal of releasing patients after rehabilitation whenever possible.
Explore the grounds at your own pace between learning moments, and bring binoculars or a camera to make the most of your visit. Food and drinks are not allowed on the premises, and transportation is not included. Discover the people and purpose behind Sitka’s Alaska Raptor Center on this engaging visit.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.67 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Sitka
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 48% in Sitka means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Sitka by this score.
