Offering the Alaskan traveler the best value with our tours. We have Ketchikan's only authentic Cable Car Trolley and are a locally owned business which has been operating tours here in Ketchikan for 29 years.
One of our more popular tours in Ketchikan is our Potlatch Park, City Highlights and Wildlife Tour. This fun filled adventure offers a visit to a Native Totem Park 10-miles north which was once a native fishing village and wildlife viewing at Herring Cove 9-miles south. This is a breathtaking scenic coastline drive which offers an opportunity to see much more of the island.
Our other two tours include our Wildlife Saxman Combo Tour, and our Wildlife, City and Totems by Cable Car Trolley. Experience Ketchikan’s historical, cultural, and colorful past with these great tours.
