Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to Sikka, the very first stop on our Alaskan cruise.

Sitka is a stunning coastal town tucked along Alaska's inside passage.

We walked to the Raptor Center, the Sikka National Historical Park, and around town shopping.

It's very overcast today, but still pretty.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive early at the port to potentially board earlier and avoid sitting around.
βœ“Explore the port on foot as it is very walkable.
βœ“Consider visiting the Alaska Raptor Center to see bald eagles.

Seeing bears in the national park β€” It's okay to be cautious, but enjoy the experience and watch for wildlife safely.
