Port of Ketchikan in Ketchikan — view 2
The Port of Ketchikan is a bustling hub located in the southern part of Alaska, known for its rich Tlingit heritage and as a gateway to the Inside Passage. Visitors are greeted by a picturesque waterfront flanked by colorful wooden buildings and the iconic 19th-century Tongass Historical Museum, which showcases the region's maritime history and Indigenous culture. Plan to spend some time watching the boats come and go while enjoying freshly caught seafood from local vendors. Summer is the peak season, offering opportunities for fishing and wildlife tours. Nearby, Creek Street, an elevated boardwalk lined with shops and galleries, provides a charming stroll through the town's history and artistry.

    Three to three-and-a-half hours on a stable catamaran — search for humpback whales, orcas, and seals while enjoying a locally sourced lunch.

    Judah shared fascinating stories about how he and his wife Chevy started their tour business, highlighting his passion for the comfortable boat. The views can be appreciated both inside and from three different deck areas. He knows the best spots to spot eagles, seals, sea lions, and even whales. We observed seals basking on rocky outcrops and eagles diving for fish, while fellow passengers used binoculars to take in the sights. It was a relaxing experience filled with great conversation and beautiful scenery.682mjt on the Whale watching tour with lunch in Ketchikan tour

    Two hours of ziplining across seven lines and navigating eight canopy ropes high above the Alaskan rainforest.

    Our experience with Mallory and Eli was wonderful. At 59 and 61 years old, the guides were very understanding of my fears. They paced the tour well and shared interesting insights about our surroundings. When the tide went out, we got to explore the shore. If we return to Ketchikan, we would certainly do this again.cwadaga on the Ketchikan rainforest zipline and canopy ropes adventure tour
