Tour privado de 2 horas com moradores locais (Preço até 5)

We try to support local businesses whenever we can, but this tour was a ripoff. We booked this tour because we wanted to see bears. We did notice that our ship was not offering tours to see bears but we decided to give this tour a try thinking that locals usually have access to areas that companies may not have. Well, not the case this time. We understand that wildlife sightings are not guaranteed but the way this tour works is that you are inside a car hoping to see bears. We had a few stops where we got out of the car, at a creek, at a waterfall, at the beach, but we didn’t see anything. We did not walk on a trail looking for bears, instead we parked in front of someone’s driveway hoping that a bear will come out of their backyard. Most private tours that I have booked with Viator ask about your interests, what do you want to do and see within their itinerary. She didn’t ask that and she didn’t have a plan B for the lack of bears. She took us go see a totem pole because I asked. She didn’t even offer to take a picture of our group when we were at the waterfall. Not worth it.

This was a great way to get away from the crowds and see the local sites. We were able to talk about like in Ketchikan and it felt like we were riding along with a favorite cousin. We got to see a wonderful "hidden" waterfall and walked the shore with no ship guests in sight. It was a great change of pace and we would go back in a second.

Lisa is a true local who shares her knowledge of the area and is multitalented in traditional arts craft and use of area plants for nutrition and healing The highlight was her singing happy birthday to my husband in her native language at totem park She tried really hard to find us a bear but after multiple tries we weren’t so lucky Such is nature! We did see a bald eagle and a Sitka deer

My husband and I had a great tour around Ketchikan with Lisa. We saw a bear. We saw bald eagles. We stopped at the Totem Heritage Center. Having grown up in the area, she really knows her stuff. And, she’s always reading about and learning more regarding the area. She’s very personable, knowledgeable, communicative and has a good sense of humor.

We had a great experience! We walked around town first because she said she could pick us up wherever we were at 2. So we made use of the time to get a little shopping in! I texted her at 2 and told her where we were and she was there within minutes! She immediately headed out for a known area to see some bears! We saw a large male bear and were able to get some great videos of him! Mamma bear and her cubs remained hidden from us, but they were working on their schedule, not ours! We also went to rainbow falls for some pictures ! It was such a great day ! She was so much fun! We would definitely do this again next time!

Lisa was awesome and I highly recommend. She tailored our trip to what we wanted. We got to see bears, bald eagles, wildlife, and great views from different points. She also really knew her stuff when it came to anything Ketchikan and Alaska.

We were met at the cruise port by Lisa, she came early so we started. She was a blast to tour with, she was very knowledgeable about the islands history. She knew all the right places to look for wildlife and when to go. One stop we couldn't find anything and moved on, she had a feeling and went back on the way to the ship and there was a big old bear crossing the street. Being from the island she knew just about everyone and the were keepng in touch through a private group about animal sightings etc. It was a great tour and allot of fun I would recommend this to anyone that is traveling to Alaska

I love supporting the locals and I am so glad I did this time! Lisa was amazing! We learned so much about the culture and history of Ketchikan from a who grew up there. Lisa was determined to find us a bear and she did. We saw a mom with 2 cubs and another one in the wild as well as an eagle. Added bonus on our drive back to town, she spotted a whale. We went to her “spot” to wait for it and even though I thought she was crazy, the whale actually swam by and we got to witness bubble feeding! I met almost every goal for my Alaska trip in just one 3 hour tour! Thank you so much Lisa! I loved every minute and would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Ketchikan

We had so much fun looking for wildlife with Lisa. We got great shots of bears and an awesome video of a whale. It was great to have our own tour with someone who grew up in Ketchikan. She was just as excited as us to spot something. If you are looking for a spontaneous adventure instead of a dull overcrowded tour group, this is for you!

What a gem! Eight of us walked right off the cruise and were told to find someone to take us to Herring Cove. I walked up and asked Lisa if she would take us and she said yes. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. She is a native, knowledgeable of Ketchikan and so fun. When you are looking for bears with her, she is on a mission, too. She is just as excited as you are to find them. We saw three bears immediately. If you can book with her, I highly recommend.
