Sitka Alaska Cruise Port: What to Know Before You Go!
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
In Sitka, it rains 230 days a year. That's a lot of freaking days of the year. So don't fight it, just plan on it.
I'm not joking when I say dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of otters. We saw eagles and eagles nests.
If you want to go check out the downtown, you need to take the shuttle because you're not a 5-minute walk from it. You are a 5-mi ride from the downtown area.
