Ketchikan Lumberjack show Excursion Reviews

Corny but fun

Provider: Independent Operator

Wasn't real sure if I would like this show, but it was great!

Provider: Celebrity Cruises

This was totally worth while except the guide was not good, he gave us directions on how to get there in a town to when we have never been before, i think that the guide should have lead us to where we were suppose to go.

Was a combo tour of a city tour (via motorized trolley), the Saxman Totems, & the Lumberjack Show. Only downside was the rainy weather that day BUT everyone stayed nice & dry at the Lumberjack Show (covered area with heaters above).

The lumberjack show was a bad excuse for trying to hustle tourists. There were several young men attempting to convince us there was some sort of competition between them. They did a few stunts that were mildly interesting, but not worth the time or money to us. Very young children might be amused.

This lumberjack "contest" was quite a kick. The humor was silly, but the skill demonstrated was fantastic. Most people (especially the kids) had a great time.

Provider: Princess Cruises

Lots of fun. I think our grandsons, who went on fishing trip instead, would have enjoyed it. Wish we had more time in Ketchikan.

A lot of fun for the whole family. If you have young children (5-10), save room in your luggage for a large chip of wood given out as a souvenier.

Lumberjack show was rather lame. Mostly boring. Good for little kids. Skip it and go on a different excursion.

This was a Disney exclusive excursion. I wasn't sure about going to it at first, but the kids talked my husband and I into it. It was actually very good. The lumberjack performers were very good, and personable. They gave the kids an opportunity to join in their performances.

If lots of muscular men chopping wood and doing some pretty silly comedy lines seems fun, take your camera along and enjoy. Unfortunately the lumberjacks were not shirtless.

After a Self walking tour we went to the Lumberjack show. Although it is aimed, primarily for the younger crowd, we enjoyed it as well. The show is a bit Hokey but in order to do the stunts these guys definitely have to be in good shape and watch what they are doing or there could be serious injuries.

we did the early lumberjack show and the duck tour, as brochure stated that you would be able to do both Both were fun and entertaining, and suitable for all ages

Provider: Holland America Line

This show was entertaining, even though it was drizzling on us throughout the show. The only problem was we were not in port that long and the vast majority of the time in port was taken up with the show. But bottom line it was an entertaining show.

This is just silly fun!

It was a short walk from the peir to the lumberjack show. The show is entertaining with various lumberjack skills demonstrated. The trolley tour drove around the town telling about the history of the town, then we went to the totem pole park. many totem poles were there and a working shop to see the totem poles being made. We found the best deals for souvenirs in Ketchikan. Be sure to get the discount book and use the coupons.

The lumberjack show as very entertaining.

Provider: Royal Caribbean International

Lots of fun to watch especially if you have kids. Its an outdoor show but is covered and has huge heaters in the rafters which really make it pleasant.

Provider: Norwegian Cruise Line

The show was entertaining and fun. It was very close to the ship so not far to go.

Provider: Disney Cruise Line

Trolley and lumberjack show was good too! Learned about totem poles, and saw authentic lumberjack games from long ago!!.

Provider: Celebrity Cruises

The Lumberjack Show was pure cheese but it was fun! To enjoy the show you need to accept the competition premise, lose you inhibitions, cheer your team, and play along with the performers. The audience did joined in with a high level of energy, and we had a great time. We spent the rest of our time in Ketchikan walking around town and looking at the totems and eagles. It was another good day for us.

Really enjoyed the Saxman Native Village, but the lumberjack show ran a bit long for my taste.

Provider: Norwegian Cruise Line

Very interesting show and they involved the audience and made them feel like they were a small part of the show. Very family oriented and would highly recommend It.

In Ketchikan, we shopped as this is the premier place for shopping of all the ports and we also watched the Great American Lumberjack Show. This was really enjoyable. Bald Eagles were flying above the show arena:-) We also walked to Creek Street which is another must see - it is the old bordello area for "working girls" now turned into shops. We took the tramway up the mountain and hiked down "Married Man's Trail" back to Creek Street. We also saw "Dolly's House"...she was the main prostitute that bought her house for $800 and turned it into a brothel. She also provided alcohol for the men folk ;-) It was $15 for all of us to see this and worth the 30 minutes to see it as it's pertinent history for Creek Street.

Very funny and entertaining

Provider: Celebrity Cruises

Because of the weather we left the show early to avoid the people returning to the ship. There is not enough time for a combo tour including the Saxman Native Village.

Provider: Carnival Cruise Lines

It was entertaining for kids and the elderly. It was kind of cheesy for me and my hubby.

Provider: Carnival Cruise Lines

I found Ketchikan very nice. We walked all around the town and took the lift up the a lodge where you could get good views of the city and took pictures of the Totem Poles. We had great weather and did some shopping. Then in the afternoon we went to the Lumberjack show and I found it quite entertaining. It was covered and had heaters in the stands as it was very cold that day. It was packed with 450 people in the stands.

Provider: Celebrity Cruises

Very fun. Lumberjacks are competitive and they really get the audience involved. Lots of good lumberjack jokes. Highly recommended.

Provider: Princess Cruises

Cute (kitchy) one hour show with plenty of typical jokes but was lots of fun. The two teams of lumberjacks put on a good show.

Provider: Princess Cruises

Ridiculous and stupid.

Provider: Princess Cruises

Very entertaining and a lot of laughs.

Provider: Royal Caribbean International

Fun and interactive with the audience. We've seen the pros on tv and wanted to see the exhibition in real life. Those guys are real athletes.
