Catching a quick, but excellent view of Ketchikan - Even with the rainy day our guide, Rosa, gave us an excellent tour of the town, totem poles, and an amazing waterfall.

Absolutely worth the price! - What a great way to spend a couple of hours in Ketchikan. Our guide Jeff was terrific -pointing out eagles, seals, and other wildlife. Loved his quizzes after each talk! The totems were very interesting and I’d love to go back for a separate tour of the carving area. The rainforest was amazing! I liked that we were given time at each stop to explore on our own.

Wildlife! - The guide was good. This tour is essentially 2 stops with narration along the way. We saw a bald eagle. At the Creek we saw bears. Then we went to the Totem Pole park which provided another guide and then there was time to see additional totem poles. Only issue: our cruise ship was at position 4 and our meeting place was at Desk 17, position 1. No one there when we got there. They were picking up passengers at our ship! We had spoken with the tour provider in advance and let him know what ship we were on. A long, unnecessary walk and uncertainty once we reached the meet point.

Skip the tour, enjoy the town. - The town is small, so not much to tell. The driver was late by 15 minutes and pushed into our time for our next event. Ride was to a stream, next to a hatchery. No animal sittings. Saw two eagles on the drive. Long stop at a totem place, then dropped us back in town. Not exciting.

Rip off! Don't waste your money! - Nightmare began with locating the tour. Went to the designated location 1hr+ and no one at the visitors center knew about the tour which was okay because they told us to be there 30 min before. At the 30 min prior mark we didnt see anyone with signs and went back into the visitors center and was told the tour guide wasnt here yet. I called the number and spoke with someone who said he was on his way. At the 15 min prior mark still no one and I called back and left a message. 5 min before the tour, received a phone call that the trolley was on the other end of the visitors center and they have been waiting on us! Then we had to check in to the same people in the visitors center who had told us more than once they weren’t there. Finally get on the trolley and there is no seats left for a party of 4 to sit! It was cold, rainy and where we sat there was no glass. Freezing cold wet air just bashing you in the face the entire trip. Tour guide very monotone voice and completely disengaged from tour group. Took us to what looked like a swamp to look for bears. No bears, couldn't see Salmon swimming upstream. Just what look like a muddy swamp with birds eating dead salmon. Stayed there 15 min and the tour guide drove up a hill somewhere with the trolley. Stood there in the pouring rain. After 15 min. we got back and the trolley and went to see the totems. Very uninteresting, unenthusiastic tour guide. Pretty much the entire group walked off from him to take pics on their own. I learned more listening to the other tours guides at the totem where I was on my own taking pics! May there a total of 25-30 min. Then back on the cold trolley back to town. Complete waste of time and money!
