We arrived in Ketchikan early and did the walking tour, so we were wondering if this tour would be worthwhile ... it was that and MORE! Even the parts that we saw on the walking tour, like the salmon ladder, Mike provided interesting facts and figures and insights. We took a driving tour of town, got out often to take pictures, including an eagle nest with eagle, and we even saw a black bear! For the bear, we were able to get out of the van and take pictures without being rushed. We then drove to a lush waterfall, and Mike made sure we got pictures from the obvious front but also from a hidden, but beautiful vantage point. We also stopped at tide pools and were told about day to day life in Ketchikan and school survival training. Mike's unfiltered, but authentic. Definitely would do again, and love that this is a family business. Compared to the other tours we took on our Alaskan cruise, this was the most informative and yeah. We loved seeing the bear!!
