• 5Everything you have to see and know about Ketchikan!

  Our guide Sharon showed us the beautiful nature around Ketchikan and told us a lot about the culture and the myths of her people. We even could visit the workshop of Nathan, who carves the most amazing totems. We really enjoyed this very educating and interesting tour with our lovely guide Sharon and can only recommend it.

• 5Superb Native Haida Guide

  Alberta is a very knowledgeable guide. She comes with a rich heritage as a Haida native. Her family background is something she is very proud of and shares with us above and beyond her scope and expertise as a guide. We felt that we had benefitted from this interaction and strongly recommend to anyone who wants to know more about the native Haida heritage.

• 5An amazing day in Ketchikan!

  We loved this tour! Alberta, a native Alaskan, drove us to all of the best spots while keeping us entertained with interesting stories about her life growing up in an indigenous clan. We saw a bear searching for salmon in a river, beautiful sea life on a beach and impressive totem poles at the totem pole park. There were 5 of us ranging in age from 26-57.

• 5My family of five were...

  My family of five were very glad we did this wonderful private tour instead of a more expensive, larger group excursion through the cruise line. We had a great time with Jody, who was not only thoughtful and considerate in accommodating our needs, but also clearly very knowledgeable, offering insights that only a true local can. She helped us really get the most out of our short time in port. Highly recommend!

• 5Totems and Bears oh my!

  Jody was wonderful to work with—knowledgeable, easygoing, and clearly in touch with the heart of Ketchikan. She made sure we experienced so much in our limited time, and when we returned to the ship, other travelers were amazed at everything we got to see and do. Highly recommend!

About Ketchikan

Ketchikan, in the Alaska Panhandle, is a rainy fishing town of stilted boardwalks and totem poles, set among the forests and fjords of the Inside Passage.

Ketchikan clings to the shore of Revillagigedo Island in Southeast Alaska, squeezed between steep forested hills and the water of the Inside Passage. Houses and boardwalks stand on stilts above Ketchikan Creek, where Creek Street, a lane of old buildings on pilings, once formed the red-light district. The town calls itself the salmon capital of the world, and the creek fills with spawning salmon in late summer.

Top-ranked sights in Ketchikan: Tongass National Forest, Creek Street, Saxman Native Village.
