KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA Port Reviews

Again, scooter not accommodated so limited to the souvenir building although this was a large souvenir building with lots of nice (but expensive things).

Loved the lumberjack show!

Time in port was too short. Only had time for an excursion but did not have time to see the town

Ketchikan was great, I did another rainforest walk and the Grey clouds seemed to make the trees and moss seem greener somehow. I couldn't believe the amount of beauty I saw.

Ward Cove is a nightmare, Ketchikan was cute. There was a second boat in port the same day and the line to get on a shuttle to get into town (20+ minute drive) was about an hour. We had heard to get off with plenty of time and we did make it to the lumberjack show on time but it was frustrating and annoying to get into town. Ward Cove itself felt undeveloped and disappointing. Ketchikan was cute but again most things were closed. We walked up to creek street and the history was interesting. We did the lumberjack show and it was popular and fun but a bit contrived - more for kids in my opinion.

If I remember, this is we went to Liarsville, panning for good, and had a nice buffet, salmon, chicken, rice. Very good food.

Again, great town but didn’t get to explore it due to ship’s short stop here. Excursion to totem pole park and wild animals was worth it.

Nice to walk around and liked to see the salmon swimming

Too short and you get there at 7am which is too early for anything to be open.

Jeep and Canoe with nature walk. The operators were fantastic, lots of information, beautiful views. Highly recommend.
