About this experience
Enjoy a private tour with locals by booking with Tlingit Tours. We bring you to beautiful destinations for those memorable pictures of Ketchikan. We can drive to the waterfall, salmon ladder and go find bears.
Learn about our native culture by visiting the Totem Heritage Center or Potlach Park.
Mountain Point is great for more pictures when you absorb the natural beauty of the ocean and surrounding islands, hopefully see whales that will create more excitement!
Tlingit Tours can also customize tours to meet your needs. Some want just to see wildlife or learn about the native culture.
See Ketchikan in comfort with your family and friends.
