About this tour

See three of Sitka’s most talked-about attractions on a scenic outing led by a local Alaskan guide. In a modern, air-conditioned Nissan NV tour van with space for 10 passengers, you can explore beyond the crowded feel of a large bus tour and hear stories from someone who calls Sitka home.

The 150-minute route visits the Alaska Raptor Center, Fortress of the Bears, and Sitka National Historical Park, including Totem Park. A wireless microphone helps you catch the guide’s commentary, even when they step outside to open a door. Departure times are planned to avoid larger crowds when possible, giving you a more relaxed way to experience the sights. Sitka Scenic Tour starts downtown at Harrigan Centennial Hall, with free shuttle access from the cruise terminal. Allow extra time for the shuttle and check the meeting instructions for your arrival point.

Make the most of your port stop with a closer look at Sitka’s wildlife, history, and local character. Book your Sitka Scenic Tour and explore the highlights with a guide who knows the place firsthand.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.77 from 510 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 6.7.
