A wonderful day! - We had been to Ketchikan a few times and this trip we wanted to get out of town and see something different. Bernie took us all around and showed us all the local spots. We loved Settlers Cove State Park and our hike there. It was just gorgeous. It was a great day, and Bernie was flexible and gave us just the day we wanted. I would highly recommend Orca Song Tours.

Great private tour from a local guide. - “Bernie” was a very knowledgeable local guide. She was friendly and took us to spots outside of the beaten track. We saw bear, bald eagles, salmon, seals and many birds. Couldn’t be any better, so glad we found her on Viator.

Bernie was a fantastic... - Bernie was a fantastic guide on our Ketchikan adventure. She’s a local so she knows everything about the city. Unfortunately because we were there in June we didn’t see a bear, but Bernie tried very hard and went out of her way to make sure we explored every opportunity to see them. We highly recommend her for your next visit in Ketchikan

Great afternoon getting out of town and seeing wildlife. - This is a private tour run by Bernie Angus. She met us at our ship 25 min early, and was ready to go when we got there. She drives a 24 Honda mini van. Plenty of room and very clean. The tour consisted of visiting a local park and dam area our of town. We then went to a Totem Park and Museum where she provided some history and walked us around the park telling stories about the poles. We then drove through town and went south of the down town. The hope was to find wild life. Bernie did not fail us. We saw a black bear, seals, black tail deer, Stellar's (blue) Jay, and humpback whales. Only thing we did not see were Orca. Sounds like we missed them by no more than 5 min. The coolest thing was the pod of humpback whales, we came upon a group of 4 or 5 that bubble fed for almost 45 min. We saw them breach at least 5 times. This was a great afternoon for my wife, daughter and I. If we want a personalized adventure give Bernie a call.

Great way to see the island from a true local! - Bernie is a terrific tour guide and is so very knowledgeable. She gave us lots of local information and was so enthusiastic about showing us the sights. Saw lots of eagles and a deer. Went in May and it was too early in the season and too cold to see other wildlife. I'm sure it would be a very different experience in July or August.

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience with Rick! He picked us up easily and coordinated with where we were shopping at the time. He was knowledgeable and filled all the time with information about the island, wildlife and current events in Alaska. We were lucky enough to see a bear which was of course very exciting! It was very interesting. We enjoyed it very much.

Wonderful experience!! - There were 6 of us and 2 with mobility issues, but pick up and drop off right by the ship was seamless and very convenient. Ask for Bernie as your driver. She was hilarious and very knowledgeable. Loved hearing her personal stories about the island. Saw a bear, eagles, deers, and waterfall. We also picked up quite a few souvenirs at a local shop where we heard some interesting details about the totem poles.
