About this tour

Trade the bustle of town for the forested scenery of Ward Creek on a guided Ketchikan nature walk. This 210-minute hike pairs the fresh air and atmosphere of Southeast Alaska with conversation, local history, and time to take in the trail.

Follow a thoughtfully chosen route to scenic spots suited to reflection and photos. The small-group setting makes room for a more personal outing, while bottled water and trail snacks help keep you going.

The hike calls for a moderate level of fitness and is not recommended for guests with poor cardiovascular health or those who need walking assistance.

Meet your guide beneath the covered awning at the Berth 3 Visitor Center and look for the Island Girl Hiking Co. sign. Ward Cove passengers should reach out by text or phone. Choose this Ketchikan nature walk for a grounded way to experience Ward Creek’s scenery and history.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
