Our guide Lexi was full... - Our guide Lexi was full of local knowledge and fun facts about Ketchikan and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great tour! We saw sea life at Rotary Beach, the Salmon Ladder and our personal highlight seeing bears at Herring Cove. We would definitely recommend booking this tour when you visit Ketchikan.

So much fun! - We booked this last minute because we really really wanted to see some Alaskan bears. Johnny was awesome and did everything he could and we got what we came for, even if they were in someone's front yard which just added to the fun! Johnny was great! We loved his stories about the island, people and bears. It was so fun to be guided by a local.

They really are Over the Top! - We used Viator to book our tour in Ketchikan. The local tour company over the top is run by Lexy and Johnny. Johnny was our driver and guide. Johnny , born and brought up in Ketchikan, knew the area very well.He exactly knew where to look for bears. We were fortunate to find 2 bears in the area. That was the highlight!
