Itinerario
Desembarcaremos en Herring Cove para tener la oportunidad de ver osos negros, focas, águilas y salmones nadando río arriba. La vida silvestre nunca está garantizada porque son salvajes, pero tenemos una buena oportunidad de verlas aquí.
Cuando regresemos a la ciudad, estaremos encantados de dejar a los invitados en la histórica Creek Street para que hagan algunas compras si así lo desean, o lo llevaremos de regreso al lugar donde lo recogimos en el Vistors Center en Front Street.
Aprenda sobre las cinco especies diferentes de salmón que tenemos en Ketchikan, mientras observa cómo el salmón nada y salta por un arroyo embravecido para llegar a sus zonas de desove y poner sus huevos.
Nos detendremos en Rainbow Falls, conocida por su niebla causada por la cascada furiosa. Si es un día soleado, la niebla crea un arco iris en las cataratas, de ahí el nombre. Es una fantástica oportunidad para tomar fotos.
City Park solía ser un criadero con pequeños estanques donde los peces crecían hasta que eran lo suficientemente grandes como para nadar alrededor del Océano Pacífico y regresar al arroyo donde nacieron.
Totem Heritage Center está en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos por su colección de auténticos tótems del siglo XIX. Además, el Centro mantiene una colección de tallas, cestas, regalia y fotografías. para mostrar el patrimonio de las tribus nativas locales.

We expected a tour of the city. Instead we spent too much time at a water area looking for bear. We drive out of thr city to see thr Mindrnhall glacier. It was so far away. We were not taken close. The guide did a pleasant job for what he did. But it was not as described. We were disappointed that we didn’t learn much about Ketchikan.
Great tour! Loved our time with the bald eagles! The wildlife and waterfalls were beautiful. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time on the Tongass Trolley Tour! Our guide, Richard Jolly, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about Ketchikan’s history, wildlife, and Native culture. His enthusiasm made the tour both fun and informative. The highlight for us was Herring Cove. Although we didn’t see any bears (they clearly had other plans that day! 😄), we saw an amazing amount of wildlife, including countless bald eagles, a harbor seal, a deer, and two beautiful Steller’s jays. We also enjoyed the stop at Rainbow Falls, which was absolutely beautiful, and the visit to the Totem Heritage Center, where we learned more about Alaska Native history and the stories behind the totem poles. One thing we especially appreciated was that we had explored downtown Ketchikan on our own before the tour. Because of that, we had already visited Creek Street and the Salmon Walk, so we didn’t mind that the trolley only drove past those areas rather than stopping. If those sites are high on your list, I would recommend exploring them before or after your tour. Overall, this was a relaxing, informative excursion with beautiful scenery, plenty of wildlife, and an excellent guide. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the Tongass Trolley Tour to anyone visiting Ketchikan.
Informative tour and mild activity for the elderly. Accessibility is easy from the ship. Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable.
We found it a good way to get around the town. We especially like getting out to a lake where we saw man eagles perched in trees. A friend of the guide went down on the beach and threw out bits of fish and we saw a couple of dozen eagles swoop down to get tge fish. That really was tge highlight of this excursion. When we were in Alaska before , we only saw one eagle.
Richard was the absolute best! It truly was a Jolly Trolley!
Chris was fantastic! We had a good time exploring. Even on a rainy day we all had a good time. Thank you!
It is a ride with a few stops. Wildlife viewing is not guaranteed so we only saw bold eagles. Our guide Christopher made it up with a wealth of information and a great sense of humor. A stop at the totem museum was great - wished we had more time there.
Trolley tour was very easy to find, right across from visitors center. My husband rides a mobility scooter and they were able to store the scooter at the office inside til we got back. Thanks again for the great tour! We also saw lots of amazing eagles!
Chris was our driver and guide. He did everything to make our excursion enjoyable and informative. He had large and sweet personality. He was extremely accommodating and went the extra mile to make sure that his trolley adventure would please both adults and kids. Highly recommended.
