Immerse yourself in the history and heritage of Sitka when you visit the Alaska Raptor Center, and watch a performance by the Alaskan Story Teller Dancers. Majestic mountain ranges hover over Sitka’s seaside community, forested islands dot the coastline, Mount Edgecumbe towers over the city (seen when weather permits), and onion-shaped domes are among the remnants of Sitka’s Russian heritage. These features enter your view during your scenic motorcoach ride. At the Alaska Raptor Center, you’ll learn how bald eagles, hawks, owls and other birds of prey are rescued and rehabilitated and watch as they regain their flight abilities at The Flight Training Center. Then, watch Sitka’s heritage come to life at the next venue as the Alaskan Storyteller Dancers perform ethnic folk dances and songs. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure with the option to stay downtown and shop and return to the ship via the free shuttle or return to the pier after the tour.
