Alaska Raptor Experience

Ever dreamt of getting up-close and personal with a bald eagle, hawk, or owl? Here’s your chance. Join the Alaska Raptor Center’s expert handlers on stage for an intimate encounter you won’t find anywhere else. Enjoy captivating demonstrations, ask questions, and snap incredible photos — front row seats get you eye-level with powerful talons, intricate feathers, and the commanding gaze of these magnificent birds.

Before the live raptor presentation, soar into Alaska’s wilderness on our massive 20-meter, 8K, 270-degree dome screen with the award-winning film Kingdom of the Eagle. This isn’t just watching a movie — it’s being surrounded by glacier-carved peaks, rushing rivers, and the extraordinary life of wild eagles. You’ll feel like you’re flying right alongside them.

This unforgettable experience takes place at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal — just steps from your ship and the perfect way to kick off your Sitka adventure.
