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.

Terry and Judy showed us around Ketchikan and told us some fun and unique facts and stories along the way. It was like walking around with a set of old friends. We laughed and chatted the entire 90 minutes. Judy also took wonderful pictures of me and my husband. We were the only 2 people on the tour!

Thanks Brooke! You and Joey were a blast! We enjoy our small groups because we get to know, and really get to talk with our guests on an individual basis. Math and Elevators, if you know what I mean! Cheers!

Stop looking, just book it! My wife and I love to travel, and we try to do a walking tour everywhere we go. This tour was the best we’ve done - all thanks to our two amazing guides. We spent nearly 3 hours with Terry and Judy and left feeling like lifelong friends. Their energy and passion for this town are contagious. We laughed our way through the older parts of Ketchikan and stopped at some fun and historic bars. The only downside of the tour was having to get back on our cruise ship. A 10/10 experience that we would book again in a heartbeat!
