Anthonyparchman, Sep 2026
Great wholesome fun
The tour met on time at ward cove. The bus ride was narrated with local history. We received good instruction on the preparation of pizza. Our pizza was delicious and served with local soda. After that a talk on the history and methods of sourdough bread production. Overall it was a wonderful family friendly experience.

Memories captured here!
Saint was so knowledgeable about the nature, history, and geography - not to mention the tips he shared about capturing our once in a lifetime photos! Waterfalls, salmon run, totem history - too many memorable moments to name them all! Would give him 10 stars if that was an option! I am so grateful and would 💯 recommend to anyone!!

Never saw Burlesque before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I thought it was cute. Quite campy and silly but fun. It was actually a great inro to Creek Street, where we walked later. So all in all, it was a treat.

Went on the Bear Adventure by Land and Sea with cruise ship. It was amazing to see the bears and to be guided by Jane. She was so knowledgable and friendly and passionate. Jane is really a natural at guiding and you’re very lucky to have her in the company.

Great way to explore Ketchikan!
Phenomenal way to see Ketchikan. Cape Fox was excellent and Charlie our guide was a fantastic tour guide. We saw bald eagles, historic sights, and a secluded waterfall. He was very informative and interactive with our group of 15! The mini bus option was accommodating for our group of varied ages. Tour picks up and drops off at cruise terminal making it a very convenient option if looking for something to do independent of the cruise ship.
