The Saxman village and totem pole visit was an interesting insight to culture and history. Being from Australia, we found Gavin H to be very informative when giving us the tour of the Saxman village and explaining the significance of the totem poles. Definitely worth the time to visit.

My wife and I visited Ketchikan and checked out the Saxman Native Village followed by the Lumberjack show and it is an excellent time! The lumberjacks go through a series of contests against one another and not only do they showcase amazing skill they are pretty damn funny too! We really enjoyed everything!
