Wow, wow, wow. From the moment of getting into the van, our guide Doran started sharing information about Ketchikan’s history, people, geography, and ecology. This continued throughout the tour to Totem Blight Park, Harriet Hunt lake and the nature trail. So much information in such a short time, delivered with spontaneity and humor that made it easy to take in and remember. His storytelling skills made the totems come to life. He let us create echos at the lake and that was an amazing experience. He kept safety at the forefront and was the penultimate professional. His love of the place was contagious. Laughter rang throughout the day from the youngest of us (8) to the oldest (75), from British to Scottish to American. We felt like old friends at the end of the day. We certainly could spend more time listening to Doran love on Ketchikan. Ok, disclaimer. He’s our son. But this tour enabled us to see him in his element and we were so impressed. We learned so much about the town, the totems, the lake, the plants and about him. He shared his excitement freely with the entire group. We may be proud parents but the company should be proud too.
