Sitka Cruise Reviews

This was our first visit to Sitka and we found it quite interesting. We took a ship sponsored tour which included history and culture of the first settlers. The 6 mile drive from the port to the town was a negative but a free shuttle bus was available for those who didn't book an excursion. ...

We had arranged our own whale watching excursion here, which got canceled because of the rain. We were able to walk about 1/2 mile out of town to see the salmon ladder and watch the salmon jumping out of the water and spawning. It was quite interesting. The town is small and we did not find it that interesting but we walked around for a little bit. ...

You need to take the shuttle to the city centre. Go for a walk in the totem forest. Book a tour on Kayak or do something outdoor. ...

Took Wildlife Quest and Finn Resort Feast. Pricey excursion but worth it. Saw many whales up close having fun. Feast was exceptional and all you can eat. ...

sitka is a waste of time. it is a shame skagway was not available and had to be switched to sitka. ...

Sitka is unspoiled and great for the history. Our excursion included the Alaska Raptor Center and Bear Fortress. This time we did not have an opportunity to walk in the town, but walk the town if you have the chance. ...

Beautiful and quaint town! ...

Cute town. Good shopping for souvenirs. Great easy day is to take the bus to town and then walk to the National Historic Park. Beautiful trees and Totem poles. Flat ground and pleasant to see. ...

Sitka itself we found to be another most pleasant town, with its interesting Slavonic history and a building style reminiscent of the High Tatra (shades of Polska in Alaska ?) Lots of fish leaping at random in the bay! From the pier the Sea Otter trip, on a proper boat, showed a lotta otter-spotters plenty of sea otters, a clutterbucket of sealions (incorrect collective noun, surely ? - Ed.), a ...

AMAZING. Between the excursion and just the views in general. I loved it. The bald eagles are just stunning, and seeing them every where, it really is a beautiful sight. ...
