Step aboard a festive trolley and be entertained by your guide’s engaging stories about Ketchikan, renowned as “Alaska’s First City” and the “Salmon Capital of the World.” As you traverse narrow downtown streets, you'll pass by colorful landmarks, bustling boat harbors and the scenic Ketchikan Creek. Your driver guide will share stories that provide a fascinating glimpse into the city's past and present, with special attention to its historical significance and lively atmosphere. Your first stop is the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary. Discover the beauty of Alaska’s temperate rainforest on this 40-acre private reserve, offering an up-close look at the landscape, wildlife, and culture that make this region so special. Begin with a private stop at Herring Cove, where you might spot harbor seals, bald eagles, and even black bears from a scenic viewing platform. Wrap up your visit with time at the General Store to browse for souvenirs and enjoy a drink at the cozy coffee shop or bar. This relaxed and enriching tour blends natural wonders, wildlife, and Native heritage for a truly memorable experience. Once reboarding the trolley, you have the option of returning to the ship or being dropped off in downtown Ketchikan to explore on your own and return to the ship at your leisure.
