Bear Watching at Traitor's Cove The Traitor's Cove flightseeing adventure combines two of Alaska's greatest resources - fish and black bears - and treats you to an unforgettable experience. Margaret Creek Fish Ladder has the busiest aquatic thoroughfare in the area during the summer months, as countless steelhead, coho, sockeye, and pink salmon thunder upstream over the steps of this legendary fish ladder. And where there are fish, there are black bears, so this Ketchikan day trip offers a really good chance to view bears and salmon together from the comfort of an outstanding observation platform! After a 20-minute scenic flight, join your knowledgeable, friendly guide who knows the area, the plant life, the history, and the teeming wildlife. During this Ketchikan shore excursion, experience a flightseeing adventure that features everything you've heard about Alaska. Afterward, you fly back to Ketchikan. This tour is arranged by permit only, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
The first cruise ship appeared in Ketchikan 114 years ago, and it has been a favorite port ever since. You can tour the area by boat, bus, horse-drawn trolley, or even a restored 1955 Chevy. The most famous part of town is Creek Street. The homes once comprising the red light district are now filled with arts, crafts and gift shops. Totem poles are everywhere, with 24 at Saxman Native Totem Park.
For all Alaska tours, we recommend layers of clothing, with the top layer being water-proof. Guests should wear comfortable walking shoes that may get wet.
