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.

The Cruisin’ and Boozin’ tour was a great time. We loved going to the various local bars and learning the history of the town. It was an experience that equaled hanging out with a couple of our favorite friends. Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s well worth it!

Terry and his wife were an amazing wealth of knowledge and just a joy to connect with and spend time with learning about Ketchikan. I would highly recommend taking this tour to see and learn about the area highlights and local culture.
