One of the most
popular sites in Ketchikan is the Saxman Totem Village. This is Alaska's only
totem park with 29 authentic totems carved by Tlingit and Haida natives. The poles
were moved here from the original site in the 1930's and have been restored by
native carvers. To truly appreciate the unique and artesian qualities, a visit
to Saxman is a must when in Ketchikan. The
next part of your journey will continue on to Herring Bay, a quaint area that
takes you far away from the crowds and people. A small inlet cove that will allow
sites and sounds of the beautiful wildlife that only Ketchikan can offer. During
Salmon season, Black Bears, Eagles, Herons and Seals are often spotted in this
area. Be sure to keep your eyes wandering and your cameras ready! Your
last stop of the day will include a visit to Rainbow Falls. Immerse yourself in
the view of a 100 foot waterfall surrounded by a rainforest. This hidden treasure
is well known by the locals, but not the tourists. This
tour is very popular and has limited seating since we only do small specialized
tours in our vans and or mini coach. All of our vehicles have public address systems
