Shore Excursion #3 - Ketchikan

Begin your Ketchikan adventure with a "splash" as you ride on Alaska's only "Duck" tour. A modern, state-of-the-art amphibious vehicle will take you through the rustic streets and literally into the scenic harbor for a fun-filled adventure that will showcase all the best that Ketchikan has to offer.













See picturesque Whale Park with its beautiful flowers and antique clock; travel by the salmon ladder on Ketchikan Creek, viewing the spawning grounds and live salmon in season; loop through the Totem Heritage Center, where you'll discover and listen to tales of Alaska Native totem poles and stop at Creek Street and learn of Ketchikan's colorful past and salty beginnings. Pick up your feet and put your hands in the air as you drive (literally) into Ketchikan's bustling harbor.

You'll motor down the channel for up-close views of local fishing canneries, seaplane docks and Ketchikan's waterfront community. See neighboring islands and the spectacular scenery of Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest. Bald eagles are everywhere when in season and there's always a chance to view other local wildlife. Your guide will entertain you on your journey aboard this Coast Guard-certified and inspected amphibian that doubles as a boat and a bus.
