Discover the history and beauty of Ketchikan, the “Salmon Capital of the World” by land and sea, aboard a Duck amphibious vehicle. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through Ketchikan’s rustic streets. View the salmon ladder on Ketchikan Creek, the spawning grounds and even live salmon in season (mid-July to mid-September). Learn about the importance of the salmon industry to the region. Then, pass breathtaking Whale Park with its lovely flowers and unique totem. See Creek Street, where you’ll hear tales of Ketchikan’s colorful past and salty beginnings. Then, marvel as your vehicle becomes a boat and your Duck bus literally drives into the scenic harbor of the Tongass Narrows. Pass the local fishing fleet and motor down the channel for up-close views of canneries, sea plane docks, and the Ketchikan waterfront community. Take in the breathtaking scenery of southeast Alaska’s temperate rainforest, looking out for bald eagles and other majestic wildlife.
