Board a comfortable van and start this narrated tour with a drive through historic Sitka and north skirting the shores of Sitka Sound. About five miles from downtown Sitka you will come to Harbor Mountain Road--the only road in Southeast Alaska extending from sea level up to the alpine level. Climb the mountain through dense forests of spruce and magnificent, gnarled mountain hemlock. Enjoy spectacular vistas across islet-studded Sitka Sound toward Mt Edgecumbe. Near the road's summit, emerge into a mosaic of lush sub-alpine meadows--home to a fascinating array of alpine plants and colorful wildflowers. This sub-alpine area will provide an opportunity to look more closely at the plant life and see bald eagles and ravens soaring on the mountain thermals. A short boardwalk and trail lead to a view-point overlooking Sitka. The dramatic vista 2,500 feet down the mountain is unforgettable. Descending the mountain, you will drive north to the mouth of the Starrigavan River--site of an ancient Tlingit Indian settlement and a fine opportunity to view wetland birds and plants. Massive shoals of spawning salmon are an impressive sight from late July through September. Visit Old Sitka, the site of the original Russian settlement, dating from the 1700s, and destroyed by Tlingit Indians in 1802. The tour concludes with a stop at Sitka National Historical Park. Displays inside the museum include totem poles and house-fronts from Sitka, Tlingit mask-making, Tlingit artifacts, Russian artifacts, and an interpretive video of Sitka's history. | |

| Historic Nature Walk at Sitka, Alaska | ||
|
||
|
Become immersed in the fascinating history and natural beauty of Sitka on this exploration by foot, in the company of a knowledgeable Sitka guide. You will receive a snack of juice and a snack bar to enjoy during your 2 1/2-mile walk. You begin walking around the base of Castle Hill, where Alaska was purchased from Russia. Continuing through the historic district, you pass through Totem Square and the grounds of the pioneer home. See the Prospector Statue and Russian Blockhouse centered in the old Russian Cemetery where gravesites of early Russian missionaries and royalty can be found. Pass St Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the Russian Bishop's House en route to Sheldon Jackson College (home to James Michener during the writing of his book, Alaska.) Ahead lies the Sitka National Historical Park where flat walking trails, lined with authentic totems guide you through the lush Tongass National Forest. Crossing the bridge at Indian River, you will hear interesting facts about the rain forest ecosystem as well as identify the local plant and animal life. Spawning salmon are seen here, usually late in the summer. Ascending the trail to the Raptor Center, you encounter the swamp-like muskeg that is home to most of Alaska's bird, plant and wild berry life. Explore and photograph the Raptor Center's open bird habitat and clinic area with great views of bald eagles, owls, hawks and other birds of prey are found throughout the grounds. Staff wildlife interpreters from the Center are stationed in strategic areas to answer questions and explain the Raptor Center's mission. Those wishing to continue to explore Sitka will be dropped in the center of the historic downtown area at the Cathedral, about two blocks from the dock. | |

| Silver Bay Nature Cruise & Salmon Hatchery at Sitka, Alaska | ||
|
||
|
Cruise through a beautiful glacier-carved fjord; learn about Sitka's unique maritime heritage, and enjoy an exclusive tour of a working salmon hatchery. The scenic splendor of a mist-shrouded fjord serves as the backdrop for stories about native culture, early explorers, and Alaskan fortune seekers. You'll also learn about the rain forest's natural history as the boat glides so close to shore that you can almost touch the branches. If you spot an eagle, deer, seal or sea lion, the Captain will maneuver the boat to give the best possible view. Step ashore at the remote Medvejie Salmon Hatchery in Bear Cove to learn how Southeast Alaskan fisherman are successfully working with fisheries biologists to raise chinook, coho and chum salmon to supplement wild salmon stocks. See how eggs are collected, fertilized and incubated, and learn how salmon fry are raised and tagged to aid research. Depending on the phase of the season you will see millions of juvenile salmon swimming in floating pens being prepared for release, or adult salmon gathering in the cove to ascend the fish ladder. On the cruise back to Sitka, youÕll get a close-up view of the Liberty Prospect Gold Mine and see the beach where, in 1804, Tlingit warriors fought a valiant but futile battle against a Russian warship for control of their ancestral home. Approaching the harbor, your guide will point out the spires of St MichaelÕs Russian Orthodox Cathedral and other Sitka landmarks. Before returning to your ship, take a walk through downtownÑa ticket to St MichaelÕs Cathedral is included in the tour. | |

| Sitka Sportfishing at Sitka, Alaska | ||
|
||
|
Sitka's sportfishing is one of Southeast Alaska's best-kept secrets. Sitka Sound and the adjacent waters offer an abundant supply of King, Silver, Chum and Pink salmon. Combine this with dramatic views and opportunities to see native wildlife, and you have an exciting excursion to experience. Your skippers are Coast Guard-licensed, top-notch, experienced fishermen. They will decide whether you will be "trolling" or "mooching," based on how the fish have been behaving recently and what has proven to be more successful. All equipment, tackle, bait and rain gear are provided. Dress warmly and we recommend wearing rubber-soled shoes or boots. Naturally, fish availability cannot be guaranteed. Visit the Shore Excursion Office on board to request halibut or bottom fishing (price:$239). Bottom fishing involves a one-hour boat ride each way to get to and from the halibut grounds. This option requires a minimum of four participants to operate and is subject to weather conditions. | |
