    THE LAST FRONTIER

    Experience Ketchikan

    ​
    Offering the Alaskan traveler the best value in three great Ketchikan Alaska tours. We are a locally owned business and have operated tours here in Ketchikan for 26 years.
     
    We have the newest and most comfortable vehicles of any independent tour operator in Ketchikan. All of our vehicles are clean, fully inspected and certified by licensed mechanics. You deserve to ride in comfort and style at an affordable price.
    
    Our most popular Ketchikan tour is our Potlatch Park, City Highlights and Wildlife Tour. This fun filled adventure offers two tours in one with a visit to a Native Totem Park 10 miles north and wildlife viewing at Herring Cove eight 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 either of these great tours.

          Our Newest Tour Attraction is the

       San Francisco Style Cable Car Trolley

    ​We are able to accommodate small or  large private groups. All private tours are 2.5 hours in length and you have the opportunity to choose your departure time. We also offer private 13 passenger van tours with all of our deluxe coach tour amenties at a fixed charter rate price. This tour package is very popular for those families on a budget and who prefer a private tour. The price is the same whether it be 2 or 13 people. Our vans are limited so it is recommended that you reserve and book your tour in advance. The price for this Private 2.5 hour tour, with driver/guide included is $725.00 USD, with a savings of $100.00 for early booking.​

    ​Give us a call at  (907) 247-8889 or email us at: northerntours@att.net if you would like to book a private tour. All individual bookings can be booked online through PayPal by clicking the individual tours in the top section or the View Tours & Book Now button at the top of the page.
     
    ​All tours originate at the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau centrally located at berth #2 and generally conclude there depending on the tour you choose.  ALL TAXES AND PARK FEES ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE PRICE.  Gratuities to your driver/guide are always appreciated, if you so choose.
     
    We offer deluxe MCI coaches, 25 passenger mini coaches, a San Francisco Style Trolley and late model 15 passenger vans that can accommodate private groups. Please check out Our Fleet for pictures of our vehicles. Our busses and vans are safe, clean and comfortable with large windows and public address systems. Our tours are fully narrated by experienced guides who are friendly local people that are happy to share their extensive knowledge about Ketchikan and Alaska with you.
     
    For those last minute reservations you can find us in the Ketchikan Visitor's Bureau at booth #12, located on the downtown dock, or visit us at the red tour shack next to the Tongass Dock Store #3.
     
    Our goal is to make your vacation a FUN and MEMORABLE one! We look forward to seeing you and your family here in Ketchikan Alaska.
