We’ll start our journey at ‘Thundering Wings’, a handcrafted totem, a local masterpiece that stands tall by the harbour, greeting guests to Ketchikan. This is where you’ll encounter your tour guides and receive a short orientation about Ketchikan.
Take a leisurely stroll down Ketchikan’s Front Street to ‘The Rock’, a symbolic statue, the work of local artisans, welcoming a diverse array of visitors to Ketchikan’s coastline. Delve into the legacy of the waterfront and cruise ship piers in Ketchikan and the interesting individuals who have graced the city over time.
Move from Front Street to Mission Street, crossing under the arch that welcomes you to our community. Don’t miss the historical and contemporary symbols that denote Ketchikan.
Stop by Ketchikan’s old St. John’s Episcopal Church and explore its historical ties with the St. Agnes mission school, a place of worship for Alaska Natives.
Take a moment to relax in Whale Park, and marvel at the towering Chief Kyan Totem Pole. Immerse yourself in the tales of totems in Ketchikan, and indulge in Whale Park’s botanical wonders.
Between Whale Park and Creek Street, behold a culturally significant totem devoted to Tlingit Chief Johnson. The totem stands majestically over the Ketchikan Creek vicinity, offering insight into the area’s native Tribes.

Awesome Walking Tour - I highly recommend this experience. The Huskies were celebrities and it was nice to mostly walk away from the crowds. Rihann was a great guide.

Huskies Are Always the Answer! ★★★★★ (5/5) - I recently had the privilege to experience the "Husky Tales and Feats Tour in Ketchikan," it was nothing short of marvelous!! Walking around while gaining insight into the rich Alaskan history, culture, and locals felt like a unique, immersive adventure enriched by the delightful company of energetic huskies! Our daughter (1.5 years) loved the tour and with a little effort, it was stroller-friendly. The best path had stairs and we carried the baby and had help with the stroller.

A True Alaskan Experience - We truly went off the beaten path and ended up in an area we otherwise would not have travelled, far away from the busy crowds at the port. The whole experience was wonderful and our guide was more than friendly and very knowledgeable about her town. The huskies were also amazing (of course) but very friendly and fun tour guides as well.
