Our guide, Daniel, was awesome. We went late in the season on an October cruise and even though the animal activity was less, he made our experience engaging and exciting. We went to the beach and he showed all sorts of amazing sea life to our kids in the tide pools. He took us to the salmon ladder and hidden waterfalls and we tried several times to see bears but they just weren’t there and that’s okay. He was a great guide, funny, and we learned all about life in Alaska. Strongly recommend!

We toured Ketchikan in a torrential downpour — but Daniel made sure we still had an amazing time!! We especially enjoyed the waterfall that was cascading with immense force! The van is super comfortable, and even with only only 5 of us, Daniel still used the microphone system in the van so we could all hear him clearly as he drove. He told lots of stories and answered all of our questions!

We had a wonderful morning adventure with our guide (Mike Quick?, my memory is bad). He showed us everything we had asked for and more. All 10 of our group were overwhelmed with his knowledge of the area, his stories, and especially his willingness to get his hands dirty so to speak, showing us all elements of the Ketchikan area. Very satisfied with an excellent tour!

We were picked by Chad upon arrival. He was very knowledgeable as native local guide. Our 3 hour was with rain. Chad tried to show us around but he seemed to be rushed. He offered to drop us off at the pier so we could get the shuttle back to our ship and so Ed more time worth him but he really only gave us 10 minutes ….. at exactly 3 hours time he dropped us off ASKED MY FRIEND FOR A TIP and drove off to pick up another group right behind us

This was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide Mike Quick was great. He took us around to all the great spots in Ketchikan. My father recently had surgery and was in a wheelchair and he accommodated his needs. We had a great time.
