This tour provided an interesting overview of the Ketchikan area. Our driver and tour guide, Bob, was full of entertaining stories and information. He pointed out local spots in town and then took us to a wildlife viewing area at a river mouth to watch salmon spawning, eagles and do a bear search. Then we ended the tour at the Potlatch Park which was the highlight for me. The Totem poles and carvings were exquisite and the setting was really beautiful. Thanks, Northern Tours!

Misrepresented the time on this tour. We told them we were looking for something 2 hours or less because of time constraints. They told us and others on our bus it was 2 hours. When others were told 2 1/2. In reality it was 2 hours and 45 minutes. While most might like more time, we were very limited on time. Also, our driver was nice but not very professional or knowledgeable. She kept complaining on the loud speaker about the way other people were driving. She hasn’t lived there but about a month and really needs better training. She also kept pulling over in places and saying this isn’t part of the tour but we will stop here. It would have taken longer than what it did but we finally complained to her about time. Oh and were also told tour started at 8;30, we didn’t leave until 8:45 and then had to pick up other people at another location. Not worth the money and definitely need to train their staff and do a better job of communicating and time management.

Save your money! Use another company!! This tour COULD HAVE been great But, out guide Ty seemed clueless… maybe it was his first day on the job, I’m not sure. But, even if that was the case, a few hours spent googling things probably would have been helpful for him. He might have known quite a bit about commercial fishing, which he apparently had done for most of his life, and probably should have stayed in that industry! Then again, it’s too bad that the owner of the company doesn’t bother to ensure that their guides/ drivers have some sort of a script, or more knowledge about the area, and attractions or points of interest!!
