What To Expect

Creek Street

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

Dolly's House Museum

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

Potlatch Bar

Walk the Fishing Fleet docks to see and learn about the various types of fishing boats, meet some fishermen, hear some fishing tales, then head up to a classic fishermen’s favorite hangout to sample the house specialty or grab a cold brew...with more stories, of course!

Wife and I, the time we spent together with Terry Tour's Tales and Ales is a time we will always remember! Terry and his wife Judy gave us a real life look at Ketchikan yesterday and now! A few days after our tour we received a wonderful video replay of our time with Tales and Ales. We would strongly recommend Terry Tours Gary, Sherrie
