Awesome tour
Loved this excursion and loved Rick. We chose this over other cruise and inspired excursions and everyone we’ve talked to on the ship says we had the best excursion. Saw a bear learned all about the salmon saw the salmon trying to commit suicide of the salmon ladder learned so much about awesome totem holes. Such a great experience so thankful.

Totem poles and local history
Rick gave a fantastic tour of Ketchikan. He is knowledgeable, humorous and accommodating. We all enjoyed the history of potlatch and totem poles. Never knew The whole cycle of how salmon spawn, incredible. The waterfall and rain forest were an unexpected treat. Of course Creek Street. Also gave us great recommendations on where to eat from a local perspective. Highly recommend this tour.

Skip the crowded cruise excursion and do this!
Jason was great! Very knowledgeable about the area. We were able to see whales, salmon spawning, and even a mama bear and her cubs! We were on a cruise, but booked this private tour versus being with a huge group off the ship and so glad we did.

What a great and informative afternoon out with Jason. He was flexible and adapted the tour to suit us and was very knowledgeable, giving some extra time to see the black bears which was very much appreciated.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up cost?
+
Prices start at $505 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ketchikan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ketchikan is not rushed.
Is Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 168 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up?
+
Around 59 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ketchikan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ketchikan and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ketchikan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ketchikan?
+
Ketchikan runs short, cruise-timed excursions: Misty Fjords floatplane flights, Tongass rainforest zip lines, totem park tours, crab feasts and wildlife boats up the Behm Canal. On Outty we rank every Ketchikan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Ketchikan Electric Bike and Rain Forest Hike Ecotour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ketchikan?
+
May to September, matching the Alaska cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ketchikan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Customizable Tour in Ketchikan with Pick Up?
+
