Totems, City & Wildlife by Cable Car Trolley

Loved this tour! Jeff provided great information and was a wonderful guide! The length was perfection see areas of Ketchikan.

Open air trolley was fun but we also had a nice sunny day. Getting on and off is alittle tricky for someone with mobility issues and we did a fair amount of walking. Our tour guide was very helpful and we got to see a Bear with her cubs eating salmon.

Thought it was too rushed it was supposed to be 2.5 hrs and was 2. Couldn't stop long enough to do trails or look k around. On the bus going too fast to take pics of animals

Make sure you get there early to figure out exactly where you need to meet. We missed our tour because the location wasn't clear enough. It was a vast area with several tour groups operating out of the same area. We even asked a few different local workers and they weren't able to help us either. Waste of over £200

Sanctuary of the bears is animal abuse!!! Poor creatures living amongst trash! Town pole was pitiful. Told we weren’t allowed to go in places other tourists were.

It was a good overview of the totem poles, etc. The trolley was comfortable and the guide was very informative.

Very disappointing! The web site says and I quote "City Highlights, Saxman Totem Park and Herring Cove Wildlife viewing". Well the city tour is the 3 blocks exiting the city. The trolley is windy, noisy, uncomfortable, and you cannot hear the driver/narrator. Totally a ridiculous tour for $85 per person. Recommendation is for everyone to take an alternative bus tour if that is your thing.

Very disappointing. Our driver was very late. There was no tour of the town, we didn’t see the salmon ladders. He just drove past and told us where they were. We blew out of town so fast to get to wildlife viewing areas. An open air trolley car is not meant to go 50-60 MPH down the highway. It was a rough ride. We hit a pothole one time and flew off our seats, hurting our elderly parents back and bum. We parked and walked on the outside of the guard rails along the highway to get to the viewing area. Why? There was a nice boardwalk on the opposite side of the creek. Why are we walking down the highway and a gravel road. I’m sure it has to do with tickets and fees. Our 2 hour tour ended up taking over 3 hours and ruined the rest of our day in Ketchikan.

This experience was great would recommend. It only has two stops but dont let that stop you from going. Mike explained the town, pointed out patts and had ton of jnfo about it.bThe two stops pack in a lot of information. One stop is near a bridge where Mike our guide told us about the fish, birds , bears etc..the second was a totem pole atea and went over a few of them and met one of the famous artists.

I would not recommend booking this as it was definitely not worth $80. You can just as easily take a 15 minute bus ride, which costs $2 each way, to go to Saxman and the ticket you buy with them ($5 each) will come with a brochure that describes the totems you are looking at. Our guide only explained 3 of them and only gave us 20 minutes to walk around. Then you can hire a taxi/uber to go to Herring Cove and stand on the side of the highway to look at the creek just as we did. There is no special guided walk or anything while you're there - the guide literally just brought us to the edge of the highway to look at the creek. This was an incredibly disappointing experience for how expensive it was and I would not recommend it. With just a little bit of effort on your end with the bus and uber, you could do this excursion yourself with an entire family of 5 for less than $80.
