Just did the Fortress of the Bear tour - so worth it!

I took the Fortress of the Bear & Totems Historical Tour last weekend and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable about Sitka's history and wildlife. We saw bears up close, which was thrilling! The totem poles at Sitka National Historical Park were beautiful too. The whole experience lasted about 2 hours, and it felt really immersive. I totally recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves nature and history!

Considering gifting this tour - any tips?

I'm thinking about gifting the Fortress of the Bear tour to my parents who are visiting Sitka. They love wildlife and history. Should I be worried about anything? Like the weather or accessibility for older folks?
