Overall, I would not want to go on this tour again. But, the tour guide was a native grew up in the area and was from an Alaskan tribe. He was fantastic and knowledgable. The tour consisted of: - Tide Pools exploration - Totem Pole Tall House/Workshop - Waterfall - Search for Bears and Whales Overall, there just wasn't enough to see or do in this tour. Let's break it down: THE TIDE POOLS were fun for the kids, picking up crabs, hermit crabs and starfish. Great picture taking opportunities for families. TOTEM POLES were interesting and our tour guide had experience in the totem pole making process. Unfortunately, the tour did not include entrance into the area where totem poles were carved and was being demonstrated. We could only look in windows to s silent craftsman showing others. There was a totem pole display area adjacent to the long house where our guide expertly described the process and stories behind the totems. There was a quick visit to the souvenir shop. WATERFALLS.. There was a small beautiful waterfall on the side of the road that we stopped and visited. SERACH FOR BEARS AND WHALES. Probably the longest and most disappointing part of the trip. We were told to keep a look out for wildlife as we drive by the ocean or in woods. We stopped at a park for 20 minutes staring at an empty park looking for nonexistent bears near the salmon ladder. The tour guide said "If this was July, bears would be all over." So no bear ...no whales. OVERALL: I was disappointed in this tour. I pushed others into this tour and felt bad they paid money. There really isn't enough to do and see or hold the interest of the group. (I fell asleep at one point). While there are interesting points, it was not enough for me recommend this tour.

Shane was a top-notch guide and driver! He went out of his way to provide the best experiences. As a local, he knows and appreciates the nature, culture and history of the area. He clearly is passionate about what he does. i I got to experience bear, eagles, seals, tide pools, a waterfall, and totem poles both standing and being constructed. He went the extra mile by recommending shopping and restaurant options, and even dropped people off at multiple locations when the tour was over. 10/10.

Nice tour with pickup a short walk from the port. Ketchikan is a small town and this gave a nice overview of the layout, a local beach, a pretty waterfall, and a totem pole park. We had time at each stop to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. We didn’t feel rushed and got a lot of information from our guide who was a true local. The animals come out when they want to, so while we were hopeful, there were no bear sightings, but we saw lots of eagles and a couple of seals. Shane was a great guide.

The tour was really informative about the area. We set off slightly early as it was just the two of us. Norm was our driver and guide for the day. We stopped at various points around the town to view and take photos: waterfalls, deer in the stream, various industries, properties of interest, salmon streams and Totem poles. We stopped to look at a meadow where the bears graze but unfortunately none were out today. We saw bald eagles and their nest. The tour was as described, Norm was authentic and informative. I’d recommend this tour for an overview of the area if on a short/ day visit

A really good way to see the area with a knowledgeable local. Got to see black bears and salmon and picked up lots of interesting information

Van we supposed to take broke down. We were place in a much older van The guide we had didn’t have a speaker. It was very hard to hear her

It was great to see Ketchikan in a small tour. We were not disappointed. We saw a lot in our short time here in town. Shane, the guide, knows the area very well and gave us lots of interesting information. We saw 3 bears, some beautiful waterfalls, lots of salmon and a few seals. Also saw nice tidepools with beautiful starfish. I recommend this good, small independent tour company. Good bang for the buck too!

Leo was wonderful. Like being in the car with an old friend. We really enjoyed his sense of humor and knowledge of all things Ketchikan

Seriously the best tour ever. Shane was the best tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information on Alaska that we didn’t know. Some of the people had gone on a tour specifically to see bears and did not see any. Shane went out of his way to find bears. We ended up seeing tons of bears, eagles, salmon, seals, otters, etc. So awesome! I would give this tour a million stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Your tour guide sent me a text on July 3 at 7:30pm. Asking to change my excursion to 8:00am on July 4, I replied that my ship NCL Joy arrived at 8;00am. That was impossible for me to get there at 8:00am. She never responded to me.I order for me experience Ketchikan, I took another tour, that cost me extra money. When booking the tour, I said I was on a cruise. That's why I picked 10:30am. My ship arrives at 8:00am. Which will give me enough time to get to the meeting point.
