Are you looking to see the best of Ketchikan in a short time with hopes of wildlife? The Tongass Trolley tour is for you! Enjoy the sights while your Guide shares Ketchikan's colorful history in a replicated 1800's cable car trolley. You begin the journey with a short drive past an eagle's nest to Saxman Native Village where you will see a collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles. Your Guide will share the rich cultural history while we pass through the village. After a drive down the coast your first stop is a small cove for an opportunity to see wildlife. Of course, wildlife is never guaranteed, but there is a good chance of sightings at this location. On to Rainbow Falls where you will stop to enjoy a photo op in front of the beautiful falls. After the scenic coastal drive back to town, we will stop at the Totem Heritage Center to view authentic native artifacts, regalia, totem poles and carvings. We will end the tour where we began, or at the historic district of Creek Street.

Our tour guide Christopher was a hoot! He was dedicated to making sure all the tourists had a great time. He was so knowledgeable and informative about everything along the tour and he gave all the information in a fun manner. It felt like being driven around by your best friend. I highly recommend this tour.

Due to a small number of people they used a passenger van instead. Worked well as we were pick up and dropped off at the ship.
