Are you looking to see the best of Ketchikan in a short time with a chance 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 disembark to experience the largest collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles. Your Guide will share the rich cultural story each totem tells while you walk around the grounds of the village. The next stop is at 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. The last stop is a short drive to Rainbow Falls where you will stop to enjoy a photo op in front of the beautiful falls. After a scenic coastal drive back to town, we will drop you at the historic district of Creek Street or back to where the tour began. You will love where we take you!

An enjoyable semi-private tour of Ketchikan with Juan!

5.00Our guide, Juan, made the tour very interesting and we learned some cool details about what makes Ketchikan special, the history, the culture, the natural beauty of the area. Because there was a small group of us, we took a very nice van around for our tour instead of the trolley, which worked very nicely. Toured the Totem Heritage Center instead of the outdoor Village, due to heavy rain at times, which was a nice swap. Enjoyed our time out and about with Juan, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others!
Waste of time and money!🙄

2.00Nothing really spectacular to see on this trip...the Saxmon Village that was supposedly included with this tour didn't happen...we sat across the road and took pictures.

5.00Great little tour!! I forgot our drivers name but he can call eagles....saw him do it!! Never heard such a weird "whistle" 2 1/2 of hours of non stop commentary except for 45 mins in Ketchican. Just a fun little excursion

1.00Unfortunately having travelled all the way from the UK bad weather meant that the ship could not dock in Ketchikan… we were only given short notice and therefore were unable to cancel our booking within the 24 hours … very disappointed at losing hard earned money and even more not being able to visit Ketchikan.

5.00We had a great tour. Our guide was so full of information. The sights were beautiful. We saw salmon, harbor seals, and even a black bear. He did a great job reading the totem poles at Saxman village for us. I highly recommend this tour
