Your local driver/guide will present to you the Alaska Raptor Center. Growing from a backyard, volunteer operation, the Alaska Raptor Center has become Alaska's foremost bald eagle hospital and educational center, and one of the state's premier visitor attractions. You will be treated to the "bird on the glove presentation," the flight center, the clinic, and the outside deck habitat areas. There is also a charming gift shop which helps support the Center.

On to the Fortress of the Bear. Absolutely amazing! Enjoy seeing the bears up close and personal.

Eagles participate in this adventure too. It's something you won't forget!

The Sitka Sound Science Center is an excellent opportunity to learn, see and touch! It houses an active salmon hatchery, saltwater aquariums, and live fish tanks displaying many of the marine species found in Sitka's ocean waters. All ages enjoy this Sitka highlight!
