Ketchikan All In One

Excellent tour by a family owned company
July 01, 2019
Our tour guide was fantastic! He was a passionate person who customized our tour to the group and wanted to show us as much as possible, you could tell the time limit was frustrating to him and he would take as much time as he possibly could to make the tour special. He walked us to a waterfall and on a beach where he personally showed our kiddo starfish and tide pools. We loved every minute of this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Our group of four went with Carson. He is an extremely knowledgeable guide whom I would recommend to anyone. He is an true Alaskan who has great pride and is deeply invested in his hometown; this comes through clear in his stories.

We had a wonderful time touring around Ketchikan with Carson. He was friendly, easy going and had an encyclopedic knowledge of Ketchikan and its history. We were awed by the natural beauty and the wonderful native art. We've already recommended this excursion to our friends and family.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of the area. He also spoke clearly, and at a pace that everyone could understand. He gave us ample time at each site. Would recommend no smoking by guide during tour. If there is another salmon run location, I would recommend a change. This was a very crowded area with several other groups stopping there at the same time.

One of a Kind
August 06, 2018
This was one of the very best shore excursions my wife and I have ever taken. Mike was our guide, and he made the few hours an exceptional experience. One would have thought he was a life-long Alaskan, as he brought the flora and fauna to life for us. Only six tour members in a small van made the tour an intimate opportunity to experience the area. This is the tour to take in Ketchikan.

The excursion was a nice adventure, enough information given to learn about the town and surrounding area BUT the van itself was a little uncomfortable for having 10 passengers with several of them needing additional assistance.

Great Tour
July 16, 2018
This tour was great because it was a small family run business. My family being a big group (7) made it so they split the entire group into 2 vans, making our tour basically a private tour. Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and genuinely excited to share stories of the town. We were lucky enough to see whales off the coast, a bear eating, and multiple eagles.

My favorite tour!
July 02, 2018
My Mom is currently wheelchair bound so it is difficult for her to get in & out of a vehicle easily. Our tour guide Eli was beyond fantastic! He personally helped me to get Mom into the front seat of the van so that she could have the best view possible. At each stop, he assisted with getting her out of the van & into her wheelchair. When that was not possible (i.e. viewing a waterfall), he positioned the van as close as possible so that she could see what was going on. I was worried that she would feel left out of things & not get to see stuff but that was not the case! Eli was thoughtful, courteous, professional & a fantastic tour guide! I would recommend him & his company to anyone!

Best all round view of Ketchikan
July 02, 2018
Our guide, Eli was the best. He was entertaining, informative, and funny. We learned a lot about how salmon spawn, native American history, and the wildlife that inhabit this area. We saw many Eagles, a bear, a beautiful waterfall,etc. Eli always had an eye for spotting wildlife that we did not notice, as he pulled over to give us a look. If you decide on this excursion, please ask for Eli. You won't be disappointed.

This was our first excursion using "Shore Excursions" and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There was only 6 of us in a comfortable mini van vs 60 in the one offered by the cruise line! The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible with what we saw. We thoroughly recommend and will absolutely be using "Shore Excursions" again!

Mike, the tour driver and owner was awesome. There were only two of us in the tour, but it didn't matter to Mike, he gave us personal service and explained all the sights of Ketchikan. Mike took us to a area where we saw a Eagle and seals and a beautiful small waterfall. The totem poles were the highlight of the tour.

Good to see Ketchikan with someone who knows the area, its history and people. He was entertaining, knew such things as areas where we could get out of his vehicle to photograph young eagles perched on a branch who were about to leave a nest that has been in that tree for years. Very glad we took this tour.

Such A Fantastic Time
September 06, 2017
Mike was a super tour guide! He took his time to make sure that we got to see so many wonderful things like the eagles nest with the two eagles sitting there. We couldn't have asked for a harder working tour guide who really cared that we got to see as much of natural Ketchikan as possible. Thanks Mike for providing us such a wonderful look at your great town!!

Extra Special
September 01, 2017
We were on this tour with Mike as our guide on August 24th. Mike went out of his way to show us as much wildlife as he could find for us. We saw salmon, eagles, fish hatchery, and whales breaching. Mike tried so hard to find a bear, but they just weren't around on that day. We also saw the totem poles, waterfall, the fish ladders, the canning factories. He was so very informative and explained everything and the history of the area as we traveled. His van was very comfortable and we enjoyed our day spent with Mike in Ketchikan. This tour was well worth the money and is something we will always remember.

Bears Galore!
July 22, 2017
Mike was an awesome tour guide who modified the tour for us. We told him that, after two weeks in Alaska, we had not seen any bears yet. He made it a point to find us bears. Besides the waterfall, shoreline and other points of interest, we saw four bears and lots of bald eagles. One bear was less than 20 feet from us (we were on a bridge and the bear was crossing under us)! We stayed and watched as the bear followed a salmon fisherman and his catch of the day. As a result we went over our tour time but none of us, not even Mike cared. Awesome tour! Thanks, Mike!

A Very Enjoyable Tour
July 21, 2017
Our guide, Mike, provided us with a terrific overview of Ketchikan. We saw eagles in trees right over our heads, salmon in the tidewater below us and a bear searching for salmon for lunch. We walked to the shoreline and saw crabs and 70' tall water algae. Later we saw a salmon fish ladder, a couple of water falls and then spent time checking out the totem poles. We finished off the day picking and tasting blueberries and salmon berries. A very enjoyable tour!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mike. ( I think I remember his name). Small group of nine with one gentleman needing a wheelchair. Mike worked very hard to see to his needs and take care of the rest of the group at the same time. Good knowledge of the area and very patient but persistent in helping us see wildlife and the beauty of the region. Good tour.

Wildlife Galore
July 07, 2017
We had a wonderful time touring with a small group. The salmon ladder was beautiful and in true rainforest fashion, it poured while we were there. Our tour continued and the rain stopped, we were fortunate to see bald eagle in its nest high above in the cottonwood tree. We continued on and went to a small lake where there were children swimming and a wedding at the park with a beautiful husky. We then were on the hunt for seals when a bear walked near the water and proceeded to swim across the lake! We stopped as there were 2 girls on the other side that couldn't see the bear, so our guide yelled out to them..their mom had a little souvenir stand which we purchased local jellies and fudge then carried on to the beautiful waterfall and a large group of bald head eagles snacking on some garbage. Even our guide was excited at all the wildlife we encountered. A lot of history was shared and our last stop was at the totem pole park. Highly recommended!
