Ketchikan, Alaska Port Reviews

Loved Ketchikan! We did not book an excursion, just walked the city, then took a short hike. Great shopping, lots of eagles. Beautiful stop with plenty to do.

OH MY...I blew my travel budget at this port which is my favorite. Bought 2 pieces of native Alaskan art, l a beautiful bentwood carved/paintned box and the other a very unique 36-38" totem. So worth this port call to visit and explore.

Third time to Ketchikan, so I just did the walking tour following the free map available at the Visitors Center right at the pier. Lots of history and great architecture on the walk - Creek Street, Married Man’s Trail, the Fish Ladder, Totem Heritage Center, etc.

Go to the visitor center and pick up a walking tour map. It will take you through Creek Street, a charming town with lots of history.

This is a busier port. We took the city bus ($2 one way)to Totem Bight ($5 entry fee). We got there before the coach loads of people arrived and it was magical. If you let the rain stop you, you won't see anything in Ketchikan. There are plenty of souvenir shops in Ketchikan to do last minute shopping.

The Great American Lumberjack show comes with just about every shore excursion. I started out not really into it, I was all about the crab feed, but it was included so…. why not? I quickly figured out that we go to The Great American Lumberjack Show to admire the hunky guys. I thought I was bad at the age of 54 taking 500 pictures of their gorgeous arms, until my teenage niece told me she had taken about 5000. If you like eye candy, I HIGHLY recommend The Great American Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan Alaska.

Loved!! We did Misty Fjord Flight seeing on the seaplane. It was incredible! They do water landing in middle of fjord and you get out of the plane and stand on the pontoons and take the most amazing pics you will see! I would highly recommend. Town is really quaint. We walked around a bit after the flight and had ice cream. The have a town bus shuttle that you can get on anywhere in town and they drop you back off at boat.
