Ketchikan Duck Tour Excursion Reviews

Enjoyable tour, much more to Ketchikan than we knew from previous visit. Take the Duck tour first, then walk.

It was fun. A little expensive for what you get, but, hey...they gotta make a living. Tired humor, but, the information was interesting.

A "Willie Nelson" look-alike drove the duck boat. Very entertaining banter between he and the tour guide. We saw salmon spawning, got a nice, informative tour of the town (including the 1800's red-light district and history of it), and a tour of the harbor area. Worth the money and time. Enjoyable excursion.

Lumberjack show - good, clean campy fun. Then we took a bus to Rain Forest for hike. Really informational. Only saw bear skat and rescued animals (owl, eagle, raindeer). Very enjoyable day.

Two guides were very funny and knowledgeable. This is a good way to see the town and marina. I saw a lot of bald eagles. Cruise line charged too much though for all excursions they offered though, but at least they posted a sign acknowledging that the price of excursion tickets include a 20% or more commision that goes to Princess. Wal-Mart offers a free shuttle to the "world's second smallest Wal-Mart".

The DUck Tour was a bit corny, but very fun, Lee, our tour guide was funny and knowledgable. Drove through the town and saw many sights. When we got in the water, that is where we had about 7 bald eages VERY close. When they flew above our boat, it was an amazing sight. MANY stores, mostly high pressured jewelry stores.

Ketchikan was an interesting stop full of local history and sites. Many opportunities to see Totem poles here. We took the duck tour which was very interesting, and gave us a good look at the city and huge marina. Our tour boat broke down just as it was trying to get out of the water, but the quick thinking staff got us on our way with out too much delay. The guide stayed in good humor throughout the 'crisis' Things not to miss are Creek Street, and some of the beautiful totem pole carvings throughout the tourist district.

Interesting and funny. We got to see Ketchikan from the water as well as the land.
