I recommend you contact Baranof Tours in Sitka. Since you have a group of 8, you should be able to do a private tour. When we used them from the Bliss, they picked us up at the pier and dropped us off right in the parking lot of the Fortress of the Bears. Our tour also included stops at the Alaska Raptor Center and the Sitka National Totem Park. I believe all places would be able to accommodate a wheelchair. Their van held 12 passengers so with 8, the wheelchair will easily fit provided it's a regular wheelchair and not a motorized chair. The only issue will be time, but you will certainly be able to do 2 of the 3. Note: If you're looking for a tour in Ketchikan recommend you contact Wild Wolf Tours.

Hi we also arrive by cruise ship my recommendation is to take the free cruise shuttle into the centre at the drop-off point you will see some ladies selling tickets for both the bear and raptor tours they were half the price the cruise company wanted. It’s too far to walk there so you’re only other option would be a taxi hope this helps cheers

Don't think there is a shuttle but taxi is probably available

We signed up at the dock for a combo Fortress of the Bears and Eagle Sanctuary bus tour. It was approximately $30 per person. It was a far better deal than any preorder trip on the ship! The guide told us all about the area as he drove.

We took the bus in mid-Sep on a Frriday, which went to Fortress of the Bear and a bird place on the same trip.

Hello! You can catch the Blue Line bus out to the Gary Paxton Industrial Park, which is a 3 minute walk from the Fortress of the Bear gates. You can find more information and schedules on their website, simply search on Google for 'Sitka Community Ride'.

There is a ramp as well as stairs.

We are 5-6 miles from the Raptor Center. You can reach us by cab, take the local bus (weekdays only) or use one of the shuttle bus services providedo by Sitka Tours or Tribal Tours.

Absolutely! As of May 1st, we will be open 9am - 5pm, 7 days a week. We look forward to your visit!
