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!

I didn't know what to expect but was looking for a tour that would introduce me to the locals and learn about something new. This tour did just that. I learned about the different ways they fish for salmon and halibut in Alaska, got to meet local fishermen, see the boats up close, and toured the town too. I got a lot out of this 90 minute tour including a couple of beers in the local fishermen's bars. Awesome tour!

I am glad you learned something new and have new stories to tell your friends back in Indy! Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to write the review. Have a great time on the rest of your cruise in Alaska!
