Living in Sitka means living in bear country, so we have had to learn how to manage our behavior and respect these amazing creatures, not fear them. Fortress of the Bear and the captive ambassador bears that you will meet on this tour, play an important role in local education. By decreasing the initial fear of bears and increasing people's knowledge about them, and how to live safely and responsibly with them, Fortress of the Bear helps to maintain a peaceful coexistence between humans and bears. If you select a visit to Fortress of the Bear as part of your tour package, we will spend time on the viewing deck over looking the large enclosures, and watch the bears interacting with each other and their environment.
