Top-Rated Sitka Shore Excursions

Sitka faces the open Pacific rather than an inland channel; larger ships berth at a dock several miles north of town with a shuttle into the center, while smaller ones may anchor and tender. The former capital of Russian America mixes onion-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral and the totem trail at Sitka National Historical Park with sea otter and whale cruises in Sitka Sound.
