City Highlights Totem Parks and Sightseeing
We have two 13 Passenger van’s that can be booked out in small groups, big groups and or private charters that will pick you up on the docks and take you away from the busy city scene. There are many things to explore, and we want to make sure you get to see as much as you can while you are our guests. Come explore the largest standing totem park in the world. Some of the totems have been here for over 100 years. They have a great gift shop as well. Stopping at Creek Street is a popular destination to see salmon returning to spawn, with lots of unique shops to find that perfect gift. Learning the interesting history of the creek from its brothels, taverns, the fish ladder, and married man’s trail are just a few of the historic attractions that make the boardwalk a must-see highlight. If you’d like to private charter the van/van’s you do have an option to customize your tour so, please contact us before booking to look at rates and talk about what you’d like to see in Ketchikan.
