Sitka Salmon Tours provides daily behind-the-scenes walking tours of Sitka, Alaska's sustainable salmon fishery. We depart every Monday through Saturday at 1pm from the Sitka Sound Science Center. The tour costs $20 per person, no reservations necessary. As you'll find out, wild Alaskan salmon are the lifeblood of Sitka's unique culture and the backbone of its economy. In this personalized walking tour, you will see salmon, think salmon, and eat salmon, as your tour guide walks you through salmon's life cycle, from the braided streams of the Tongass National Forest to the plates of Sitka restaurants and beyond. Salmon Tour Update
