12/10 Experience!!!

I’ve taken this same tour four times individually with my grandchildren. Sharing Alaska with a ‘lifer’ local guide is very important. Nothing is guaranteed except a new experience. I’ve not yet been disappointed. As a lifer guide in my area I endeavor to take guests on a tour that I would want to be on. Lexi does that. Local guides have such a short season it’s important to support their business. I’ll be back again.

Operator response

Jim, thank you so much. It was great seeing you again and I really enjoyed your granddaughter such a smart, intelligent young girl.. thank you so much for booking with us. Can’t wait to see you again.🩵☔️

Backroading in Ketchikan with Lexie

This was a very last minute booking and what a fabulous last minute idea it was! Not only was it priced at an affordable rate (much cheaper than excursions booked through cruise lines) but it was an excellent adventure with our local and very knowledgeable guide Lexie! As my husband said, " It was like driving with your best friend on back country roads". Lexie was so personable and did her very best to make sure that we saw the hidden areas that we otherwise would not have had the opportunity to see in our own. Lexie even picked berries for us to taste and educated us on all the trees and plants in the area! 100% recommend this excursion!!

Very nice driver but the...

Very nice driver but the trip wasn't very professional; messy van, couldn't find the mic so people in the back couldn't hear; had to stop for gas. Did see some eagles and a waterfall but overall, not worth the price.

Operator response

This doesn’t sound like our tour sorry about your bad experience

Sensational!!!

This was a fabulous tour!!! John was awesome! He knew where bears had recently been sighted & we saw wild bears & the eagle experience was sensational!! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area & directed us to a great restaurant to have some local king crab. I couldn’t recommend this tour more. If you’re in Ketchikan - don’t miss out on John’s tour!!!

Operator response

Awe we love that you enjoyed your day! Thank you for booking with us 🩵☔️
