Your Itinerary

Saxman Native Village

Saxman Native Village has the largest collection of authentic and restored Tlingit totems. We drive slowly through the park to allow ample time for guests to view and photograph the poles. Your guide will share some of the stories the craved totems tell.

Herring Cove

We will disembark in Herring Cove for the opportunity to see black bears, harbor seals, eagles and salmon swimming upstream. Wildlife is never guaranteed because they are wild, but we have a good chance to see them here.

Admission Included

Creek Street

As we arrive back in town, we are happy to drop any guests at the historic Creek Street for a little shopping if they would like, or we will take you back to the location we picked up at the Vistors Center on Front Street.

Salmon Ladder

Learn about the five different species of Salmon we have in Ketchikan, while viewing the Salmon swimming and jumping up a raging creek to reach their spawning grounds to lay their eggs.

Ketchikan

We will stop at Rainbow Falls known for its mist caused by the raging waterfall. If it is a sunny day the mist creates a rainbow across the falls, hence the name. It is a fantastic photo opportunity.

City Park of Ketchikan

City Park used to be a hatchery with small wading ponds where the fish were grown until large enough to make the swim around the Pacific Ocean and return back to the creek where they were born.

We seen a waterfall and many totem poles. We did not see much that couldn't be found elsewhere in Alaska. We really wish we had tried a different excursion. This was our first and it was pretty uneventful.

Keith was a great driver and narrator. He explained several sites, traditions, and history of the Ketchikan area. Unfortunately, it rained, but all in all was an interesting tour.

Sharon_W

Shittest tour ever. First stop Creek St. Second stop a private property with no facilities, only a water view. Third stop the Totems. No commentary just told to be back on the bus in allocated time. Wouldn’t call it a tour at all.

Kaye_B

We enjoyed the tour yesterday with Clarke. He was informative on local history, and current issues. Great time well worth it.

This was an amazing way to see Ketchikan. Our guide was incredible, and I learned a lot about the state of Alaska. It’s a beautiful town with a rich history. The most totem poles of any location in the world. The best crab I’ve ever had!!!

driven by the supremely knowledgeable Chris. He took us to the most interesting places in Ketchikan and gave us a history lesson into the town of Ketchikan and the First Nations tribes originally in the area. Loved his links to the First Nations people. First class tour. Thank you

This is a fabulous tour. Our guide, Chris, knows EVERYTHING about the areas we drive through and more. We learned so much. Thanks Viator and thanks Chris!

Not much to see in Ketchikan. Just walk the downtown area and go to Saxman totem park. Guide was knowledgeable but overall didn’t seem worth the price to me. You just get driven a few miles out of town and then return with a stop at a roadside water fall, an inlet and the totem village.
