What to expect
Sourdough Cocktail Bar
AKA The Shipwreck Bar. This is one of the Fishing Fleets favorite places to grab a drink and share stories. We’ll sample a house specialty or brew and peruse the amazing wall of shame of shipwrecked boats. You will also see amazingly large trophy fish and crab mounted on the walls.
Creek Street
Historic Red Light District along beautiful Ketchikan Creek - a great place for photos and watching the Salmon go up stream to spawn. Along the way there you will hear stories of the colorful past of Ketchikan, see historic buildings, and get time to stretch your legs along fairly flat sidewalks through town.
Dolly's House Museum
An example of the types of business that used to line this boardwalk street in the earlier years.
Potlatch Bar
Walk the Fishing Fleet docks to see and learn about the various types of fishing boats, meet some fishermen, hear some fishing tales, then head up to a classic fishermen’s favorite hangout to sample the house specialty or grab a cold brew...with more stories, of course!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
