Sitka, Alaska Port Reviews

With this port, there wasn’t much to do. We just walked around a little bit and then went on a little small tour and we did wheel watching and there really wasn’t any whales. We only saw like one.

This was my first visit to Sitka and honestly I didn't see much of it. I mainly went into the town to have lunch and take a quick look around. Did not do any shore excursions.

Shore excursion was amazing, we didn't get much time at port.

Yes

The line for the shuttle was more than an hour, standing in the cold rain for most of it. Awful experience. Run down, not a lot open, felt a tad unsafe. The nature was gorgeous though.

No excursion, just visted the museum

Excellent Flora & Fauna excursion and a nice town for souvenir shopping.

We regretfully did not pre-purchase a shore excursion from the cruise line and although we did eventually find one once we got into town, it was stressful and the van was cramped. Overall what we did was fun but it was quick - not sure if our experience would have been better if we had planned better. We went to the Raptor Center, Fortress of the Bears and had a walk around totem park.

It’s just a city. We took a bus, walked to a restaurant had a bite to eat and came back.

We hiked ….didn’t go as far as we wanted, because we got a little worried about the Bears, and it was the salmon in the river and dumb advice from people. We decided against it….. but we did 3 miles. It was beautiful.
