Great learning experience
Angel was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. It was an issue finding the pick up point. The visitor center is not on Main st but on Front Street. Great excursion though.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the response! We're glad you enjoyed the experience, and we'll forward your commentary on to Angel!

Not worth paying for wasting precious time.
We spent most of the time on the bus. The windows were tinted dark, so hard to see anything. We went to a beach where there wasn't much t see. I think it would be better to spend the time walking in Ketchikan and even to the totem poles.
Response from the operator: Good morning, I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. While we can't guarantee everyone enjoys this excursion, we do try to offer transparent marketing that clearly explains what we're doing with the time we're on tour, including driving around parts of our city and visiting Saxman Village. I hope that the rest of your cruise was enjoyable, and I hope your next visit to Ketchikan is a more positive experience for your party. If you'd like to elaborate on what exactly occurred during your tour that made it a negative experience, you can contact my office at reservations@discoverketch.com

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $112 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 Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour?
+
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 Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour?
+
Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saxman Native Village & Ketchikan City Tour 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 Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Shore Excursion: Rainforest Canopy Ropes and Zipline Adventure Park. 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.
