disneydiane61 Posted July 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2008 We are spending one cruise day in Sitka. We know that it can be a great "on your own" day, just walking around and seeing the sites, but I would love to find a private or small group LAND tour. We are doing Harv & Marv in Juneau so we want to stay land based for this stop. :D I have researched 2 possible land tours and want to know if anyone out there has had any experience with either of these two "local" companies. The first one is Hank's Taxi and Tours. They mention a (salmonberry) picking tour plus a few other local places to travel to. The other is Sitka Wildlife tours which is run by the Conine family. They advertise a 2 hour tour that includes Fortress of the Bears, Silver Bay, Sitka National Historic Park and Theobroma Chocolate Factory. (seems like a lot to see in 2 hours). Anyway, back to my original question, anyone have any experience with either of these to companies located is Sitka? Thanks for any and all advice. disneydiane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Sailing:D Sorry I can't be of help. I absolutely love the sea otter tour in Sitka so I haven't really investigated land stuff there. I look forward to seeing your review though.

Of course, photos of the bear cubs wouldn't be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
