We are in Sitka in a few weeks on Radiance. I have a friend who lived in Sitka for 20 years who recently moved back to Michigan. I will paste below the itinerary she did for us. We have a Kayak planned with SitkaKayak that we will do in middle of the day. This could fill out the DIY walking tour you all ready have planned. ( with out the kayak) I am super excited to see my friends favorite places.
My perfect day in Sitka- 1. get an espresso and a scone at the backdoor coffee shop (right downtown behind old harbor books, great little bookstore). Tell Seitara I sent you, she makes the best dirty chai! 2. Walk to totem park and do the loop. Stop at Sitka sound science center and touch all the sea creatures. 3. Go kayaking. 4. Go to Mean Queen by the bridge and have pizza and a beer and look out the window. Tell Patrick I sent you
