Enjoy three tours in one -- explore Saxman Native Village, view the region's famous wildlife by boat, and savor Alaska cuisine at a historic cannery. It's the best of Ketchikan by land and sea.
Depart the dock by motorcoach and enjoy a narrated drive through downtown Ketchikan with views of historic Creek Street -- a row of colorful shops in what was once the red-light district.
Arriving at Saxman Native Village, walk amongst the world's most extensive collection of totems, observe a Tlingit totem carver at work, and visit the village gift shop.
Continuing along the scenic coastal highway, leave the coach and set off along a shoreline rain forest trail to the historic George Inlet Cannery. Enjoy a self-paced exploration of this once-bustling maritime center featuring restored and fully operational canning machinery. Tour an interactive exhibition that takes you inside the commercial fishing industry as you enjoy a delicious sampling of Alaska appetizers with a glass of beer or wine.
Finally, board a spacious, comfortable excursion boat to explore the rugged coastline of the Tongass Narrows and glacier-carved George Inlet. Visit Walden Rocks -- a seal haul-out and gathering place for bald eagles and marine birds. Whales, sea lions and porpoises are frequently sighted here.
