On this adventure, you'll experience the best of Ketchikan by land and sea. Enjoy three tours in one: explore Saxman Native Village, view the region's famous wildlife by boat, and savor Alaskan cuisine at a remote and historic location.
Your journey begins by motorcoach with a narrated panoramic drive through downtown Ketchikan. Watch for historic Creek Street -- a row of colorful shops in what was once the red-light district.
At Saxman Native Village, walk among the world's largest collection of totems, observe a Tlingit totem carver, and take time to visit the village gift shop before heading back to the bus to continue down the scenic coastal highway.
At the end of the road, enjoy the serenity of this remote location with a brief rainforest trail walk to the historic George Inlet Cannery. The self-paced exploration of this once-bustling maritime center includes a feast of Alaska cuisine and your choice of one locally crafted beer or a glass of wine.
The final adventure of this trio of excursions is aboard an Alaska-built wildlife viewing boat. While aboard, you'll explore the rugged coastline of the Tongass Narrows and glacier-carved George Inlet. There will also be an opportunity to visit Walden Rocks -- a seal haul-out and gathering place for bald eagles and a variety of marine birds. Whales, sea lions, and porpoises are frequently sighted during the cruise.
