Satisfied - I recommend this tour to everyone. This is a must do experience. You have locals doing this tour so you get all the knowledge about the culture and history. We saw it all, bears, orcas, eagles and salmon. Very happy with this tour.

Great guide …great tour. - We had a great time on this tour. We saw the salmon ladder, bears, an eagles nest w/ baby eagles. We could not see any whales…but i am sure it will happen on a different day. Dan was great. His wife being a native Alaskan from royalty really gave us great insight into the the local culture. His explanation of the totem poles, the stories they tell, and their historical importance was very enlightening. We also saw native medicinal plants and learned about how the native community feeds its family while minimizing its impact on the planet. We would definitely reccomend. .

Family trip - We had an amazing experience along with Rebeca and her friend who translated to Spanish everything for us. I recommend you take it if you have little time in Ketchikan and dont want to miss the essential.
