2.5 Hour Tour in Ketchikan on the Tongass Trolley
Are you looking to see the best of Ketchikan in a short time with hopes of wildlife? The Tongass Trolley tour is for you! Enjoy the sights while your Guide shares Ketchikan's colorful history in a replicated 1800's cable car trolley. You begin the journey with a short drive past an eagle's nest to Saxman Native Village where you will see a collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles. Your Guide will share the rich cultural history while we pass through the village. After a drive down the coast your first stop is a small cove for an opportunity to see wildlife. Of course, wildlife is never guaranteed, but there is a good chance of sightings at this location. On to Rainbow Falls where you will stop to enjoy a photo op in front of the beautiful falls. After the scenic coastal drive back to town, we will stop at the Totem Heritage Center to view authentic native artifacts, regalia, totem poles and carvings. We will end the tour where we began, or at the historic district of Creek Street.
