Our Favorite Excursion - We had the best time!!! This was our favorite excursion on our trip. Brock was fantastic, so friendly and knowledgeable. As a novice photographer, I learned several valuable tips. We learned a lot about Ketchikan and the surrounding area. We loved Potlatch Totem Park and were so happy to purchase authentic Alaskan made items and supporting a small family business. Highly recommend this activity!!! Hope I did you proud, Brock!! Some of my favorite photos was on this trip.

Great excursion - We really enjoyed this excursion. Brock was great! Friendly, knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight as well as photo tips and his own experience of moving to Alaska. Also the small group, five people, made it that much more enjoyable. We definitely recommend this excursion.

Best Photo tour - Kevin Vigneur was a delight. So informative and patient giving every participant attention and assistance. His photography knowledge and personality make him the perfect guide. I’d request a tour with him again if I ever return to Alaska.

This was an excellent... - This was an excellent tour. Angela, our tour guide/driver was extradinary. She provided history of Ketchikan and was quick to spot bald eagles, whales, and harbor seals to us. She always stopped the van so we could go out and take pictures. Angela was very helpful with us in taking pictures with our cell phones. She taught us ways to improve our picture taking. About half way through the tour Angela provided us with coffee and water and a most delicious cookie. Overall this was an excellent tour made especially good because of Angela.

Learn to take better photos with this tour - Angela is a very flexible guide. Despite the very rainy weather we got a great photography safari tour including some great wildlife pictures and some good photo tips on features available in our phones. She is a very outgoing, friendly and braves any weather condition.
