Totems/City Highlights/Wildlife/Ground Tour

Overview
We have two 13 Passenger van’s that can be booked out in small groups, big groups and or private charters that will pick you up on the docks and take you away from the busy city scene. There are many things to explore, and we want to make sure you get to see as much as you can while you are our guests.
Come explore the largest standing totem park in the world. Some of the totems have been here for over 100 years. They have a great gift shop as well.
Stopping at Creek Street is a popular destination to see salmon returning to spawn, with lots of unique shops to find that perfect gift. Learning the interesting history of the creek from its brothels, taverns, the fish ladder, and married man’s trail are just a few of the historic attractions that make the boardwalk a must-see highlight.
If you’d like to private charter the van/van’s you do have an option to customize your tour so, please contact us before booking to look at rates and talk about what you’d like to see in Ketchikan.

What To Expect
1
Herring Cove
Once we depart downtown, we will drive out one of the two Totem Parks in Ketchikan. After 20 minutes walking among the Totems, we will head to Herring Cove to do some Black Bear Viewing we are in contact with other operators regarding black bears and if there are no recent sightings, we will cut off herring cove and go spend more time with the other attractions.
2
Saxman Native Village
Saxman Native Village has the largest standing Totems in the world. The area is filled with totems that are over 100 years old. The easy walking trails make this a wonderful stop to soak in Native Heritage and highlights the skills it took to carve out these beautiful works of Native art.
3
Creek Street
Creek Street with its high history, uniqueness and "Instagram" worthy picturesque opportunity, with a few risqué tales to tell, known as Ketchikan's red-light district in the mid 1920's there were over 20 brothels lining the creek, the "street" is actually a boardwalk on pilings, while venturing through the boardwalk you'll see talented local shops with art, seals and salmon swimming up to the "fish ladder" just above the boardwalk the city of Ketchikan had built a "ladder" to assist the salmon swimming through the raging waters flowing through Creek Street.

We really enjoyed this tour. John was an excellent tour guide who showed us all the highlights of beautiful Ketchikan. We saw a bear and eagle at Herring Cove and we loved the two totem parks that we visited. John gave us a wonderful history of the area as we tired the city. He was very personable and strived to make it the best tour possible for all our interests.

The tour got canceled last minute due to not enough people. I went to see the totems by bus instead.

Yes it is unfortunate that you were the only one person for the ground tour this day. As you must understand, we do need a minimum to make any tour happen. We feel just as bad as you do that for the last two years we haven’t had tourist ample enough to sustain a steady tourist thriving business. My apologies to you.
