Daniel is awesome! 5 star tour - We had an incredible experience with Daniel as our tour guide in Ketchikan! Even though he hasn’t been doing this for very long, you’d never know it—he was knowledgeable, confident, and made the entire tour feel effortless. He customized the tour based on what we were interested in, took great photos for us along the way, and kept us engaged with fascinating stories and history of the area. He even gave us some excellent local food recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommend Daniel to anyone visiting Ketchikan!

Great sights and driver. Shad was a great guide. - Great private tour for our party of 11. We saw killer whales, bears, bald eagles and a deer. Shad was a great tour guide and driver with hilarious insights and local information like where to get the best jam. It was nice to be led by a local with clear joy and enthusiasm for Ketchikan. As a private tour, we were able to linger at places to enjoy the sites. Would highly recommend it to any other large families looking for a better experience than a large cruise tour.

Fun and informative tour - Fun local tour with a local resident. Loved that our extended family of 12 had a private tour of the area. Saw a black bear and enjoyed hearing about the history of the island and town.

AMAZING DAY IN KETCHIKAN! - Our group of 13 had an amazing day (despite the drizzle and rain) that far exceeded our expectations! Shad was able to share his lifetime of Ketchikan knowledge with us! We saw tons of wildlife (dozens of killer whales, salmon swimming upstream, eagles and Sitka deer), visited a totem pole park, and got a great feel for “the real Ketchikan” - away from the busy, commercial cruise ship docks! HIGHLY recommend this excursion!! Would absolutely do it again!

Best day of our cruise —Thanks to Aaron! - We booked this tour through Viator, and it ended up being the best day of our entire cruise. Aaron was an exceptional guide—extremely informative, friendly, and engaging. Having lived in Ketchikan his entire life, he pointed out hidden gems, explained local traditions and told captivating and unforgettable stories. He exceeded all expectations, and we even had the incredible luck of seeing a black bear! Highly recommended.
