Explore Ketchikan’s waterways, wildlife, and Native culture on a private local-guided tour with snacks, binoculars, and scenic stops.

About this tour

Discover Ketchikan with lifelong local guides on a private outing that trades a crowded bus for a more personal look at Southeast Alaska. This three-hour Ketchikan wildlife and totem tour follows scenic Tongass Narrows, where mountains and waterways frame the journey.

Along the way, take in beaches, lush rainforest, and opportunities to spot marine life and wildlife. Your guide shares stories about the area’s history and community, then introduces the region’s Native culture at Potlatch Totem Park. Snacks, binoculars, ponchos, and booster seats are provided, with juice packets and a climate-controlled, non-smoking vehicle adding comfort along the route.

The experience is designed for guests of all ages and physical fitness levels. Meet at Dock 2 outside the Ketchikan Visitor Center, near the rock statue; if arriving at Ward Cove, take the free shuttle to downtown first. Choose this Ketchikan wildlife and totem tour for a relaxed, locally guided way to see the landscape and learn about the place. Book your private tour and make room for an authentic day in Ketchikan.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 5 reviews. 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.
