Amazing Alaskan Experience
Wonderful experience and super friendly staff! Would highly recommend to everyone! We got to eat so much delicious food, the view was amazing of the ocean and forest. We will be back. I loved the camp fire and smores too. Thank you so much for such a great Alaskan experience!!

A local must visit in Ketchikan!
I wasn't sure what to expect but this was a wonderful trip into the woods and back in time. Our guide was friendly and welcoming. Our time was filled with conversation and laughter. The grounds are gorgeous and rustic. There are some indigenous artifacts of years gone by (I don't want to spoil the story) The aesthetic is great. This is a fruition of of the team of owner's dream after seven long years of hard work. Every morsel of the food was amazing and memorable. From the salmon chowder to the Caribou everything was so yummy. I definitely recommend and if I'm ever back if Ketchikan I would go visit again.

Cozy with amazing views and delicious food!
It was so much fun. The food was absolutely delicious and the whole set up cozy. The view…AMAZING! Very close to port so most of the time was at the place. Super friendly people and the chef even shares some of his recipes.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner?
+
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 Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner?
+
Around 8 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner 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.

+

Does Ketchikan Fireside Feast: Open-Fire Salmon & Reindeer Dinner include hotel pickup?
+
