Sightseeing

Things to Do

Seeing the sights is easy in Ketchikan. Even if you just stand in the middle of town and look out over the waterfront, Pennock Island off to the west and Deer Mountain to the east, you've already taken in more natural beauty than most people do in a month. But there's so much more to see! Sightseeing tours abound, in both Spanish and English. All you have to do is choose your preferred mode of transportation—motor coach, boat (catamaran or duck), van, car, taxi, or trolley. If strolling is more your speed, choose a guided walking tour.
