Cannot down play the scenery…simply beautiful. I’ll preface my comments by saying we were the last tour of the day and our tour bus arrived late due to “unforeseen circumstances”. That being said our tour was rushed! The guides were not engaged and left us to explore on our own (unless we ventured too far off). I learned nothing of the area. We kayaked while following the guides who were out ahead paddling on their own. Yes, the cookies and hot chocolate were nice but would have preferred the attention in the water. Maybe it was just a “bad day” but in the end I would have been better off spending time on shore visiting local shops and attractions.

Please allow yourself up to 15 minutes from the time you disembark the cruise ship to locate the meeting point depending which cruise ship berth you are arriving on. See below for Ward Cove Dock arrival (Norwegian Cruise Lines and Oceana Cruise Lines)
Ward Cove Guests(Norwegian and Oceana Cruise Lines): If your tour time is earlier than 9am we would like to pick you up at Ward Cove. If your tour time is after 9am you have time to visit town before your tour if you like. For Norwegian ships this is often your only chance to see downtown Ketchikan, take the free shuttle from Ward Cove Dock(be sure to give yourself 45 min from the time you hop on the shuttle until the tour meeting/start time..
