Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to see wildlife on this excursion?

A: The best time to see wildlife in Ketchikan is typically in the summer months, especially June through August. During this time, you can expect to see more seals, whales, and eagles. If you go in the fall, you might catch the salmon migration at the salmon ladder, which is super cool too! Just keep in mind that wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.

Q: Are there any age limits for this excursion? Can kids join?

A: This excursion is family-friendly and kids are welcome! Just make sure they can sit still for a couple of hours. There's no strict age limit, but younger kids might need some extra supervision. It's a great way to introduce them to wildlife and culture!

Q: What should we wear and bring for the excursion?

A: Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in Ketchikan. I'd recommend a light rain jacket, comfortable shoes, and maybe a hat or sunglasses since you'll be outside a lot. Don't forget your camera for the beautiful sights and wildlife! Also, bringing a water bottle is a good idea.

Excited for the Wildlife and Culture Excursion!

I'm planning to gift my parents the 2-hour wildlife and culture excursion in Ketchikan! They love nature and art, so this seems perfect. The stops at the totem heritage center and the salmon ladder sound amazing. Anyone have tips on what time of year is best? Also, how's the parking situation by the meeting point?

Just did the excursion and it was awesome!

I took the wildlife and culture excursion in Ketchikan last week, and it was such a great experience! We saw seals at Herring Cove and the totem poles at the heritage center were so impressive! The guide was super knowledgeable too. Definitely worth it for anyone visiting!
