Sitka Shore Excursions

Totem Park Tours

Explore Tlingit totem poles, rainforest trails, and Native Alaskan heritage at Sitka National Historical Park.

Sitka National Historical Park preserves one of Alaska's finest collections of totem poles along old-growth temperate rainforest trails. Learn Tlingit clan stories, Russian-era history, and the artistry behind each carved pole — a cultural cornerstone of any Sitka port day.

The park sits near downtown Sitka and pairs well with Russian-American landmarks such as St. Michael's Cathedral when you have a longer call. Trails are generally easy; wet boardwalks and roots are common in rainforest weather — wear grippy shoes.

Guided totem tours add clan context you will miss walking alone. Combine with Fortress of the Bear or the Raptor Center on Best of Sitka style half-days when you want wildlife plus culture.
