The tour was a little...

The tour was a little disappointing. The guide was really nice and personable but the wildlife sightings were limited to eagles. The attempts to locate bears involved driving down a residential street where a fish smoker lived (attracts bears sometimes) and a small cove area where multiple tour buses were. We were hoping for a more scenic tour.

Operator response

That’s the number on thing about wildlife is you never know if your going to see it. With the salmon not active right now can make it a little harder. Sorry about your luck. Thanks for booking with us🩵☔️

Tour with a local to see beauty and wildlife in Ketchikan

Lexi gave us a great personal tour of Ketchikan including stops at Herring Cove, Rotary Beach, Mountain Point, and Rainbow Falls with a departure at Creek Street. It was great to support a small business/local company and get information from a native local about the area. She did her best to find us wildlife to view and never made us feel rushed at any location. I appreciated that she didn't cancel our tour due to low bookings or wait until she could fill it more before departure. She seemed happy to show us around and take pictures of us at the locations. I'd defintiely recommend this if you are looking for an affordable way to get out of town and see more of Ketchikan.

Operator response

AWE thank you I sure had a blast with you guys too! Thank you for booking with us🩵☔️
