Best hiking locations/ excursions

[TeeLee530]

My boyfriend and I will be cruising on NCL Bliss May 11-15. 
 

We would like to do some (low-mid level) hiking in at least 1 port.

I know there are hiking excursions from most of the ports, but I have heard they may not be worth it.
 

Where have you enjoyed hiking? What is accessible by foot or Uber? 
 

The ports we are looking at are Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau.

 

Thanks for the advice, as always!

You might want to take the opportunity to do your hiking in Ketchikan since the NCL Bliss docks at the Ward Cove pier there. This happens to be quite near Ward Lake where you can hike the Ward Lake loop or even venture on Perseverance Trail - the trailhead is right across from the Ward Lake campground. Both are very near to where you dock with NCL. Even though they are close by, you would probably want to arrange for a taxi to drop you off and pick you up.

 

In Juneau, there are some hiking trails at the top of Mount Roberts if you take the Tramway, there is also a Perseverance Trail there, and then there is the Treadwell Trail that takes you through the remnants of an old mining area. Mount Roberts Tramway is walkable from the port, but for the other two you would need transportation.

 

In Sitka, there is a nice long trail that runs along the beach through the forest that will take you to the Raptor Center. It's very beautiful and easy to access.
