What To Expect

Arctic Bar

Sample a drink specialty or beer at one of Ketchikan's oldest bars. Hear about the Arctic's history and other crazy stories of destruction in the area. Get to know the mascot with some great photos. Enjoy the view from the only bar with a deck dockside in town.

Creek Street

Historic Red Light District along the beautiful Ketchikan Creek - a great place for photos and watching the salmon swim up stream to spawn. Along the way there, you will hear stories of the colorful past of Ketchikan, see historic buildings and get to stretch your legs along the fairly flat sidewalks through town.

Dolly's House Museum

An example of the types of businesses that used to line the boardwalk street in the earlier years.

Potlatch Bar

Another historic bar at the top of the Fishing Fleets' docks is a favorite Fishermen's hangout. Again, you will sample the "Latch's" specialty drink or enjoy a cold beer while wrapping up the tour with just a few more laughs and crazy stories from your tour guide, locals or the bartender.

We had a blast! Terry is fun to talk to and he knows the history as well. We made stops at 3 fun historic bars, shared lots of fun stories, and enjoyed ourselves during this tour!

Thank you very much for kind review! I really enjoyed hanging out with you folks. Should you head back this way someday please let me know. I’ll take you out on the water if you’d like, just for fun or maybe for some fishing (not apart of Terry’s Tour).

This was a fantastic tour! Terry and Judy were super guides, and we had so much fun exploring historical sites and bars throughout Ketchikan. Judy even acted as photographer to document our experience. We highly recommend this tour!!

I highly recommend this tour. Terry and Judy are great! They take you to the local bars in town while at the same time telling you the history of Ketchikan. They have great stories and amazing personalities. We had a great time with them and it was especially fun to hang out with the locals. :)
