Awesome day! - Matthew was an attentive and knowledgeable tour guide. He patiently handled our group of 10, with ages ranging from 8-88 years old. He knew all the best spots for local wildlife; we saw eagles, seals, and even a bear!

Dale and the entire experience is fantastic! - Dale was absolutely incredible! From start to finish he provided an excellent experience for our entire large group including ages 5-85 and everything in between! He was knowledgeable & friendly and really cared about providing an exceptional experience for us. He even went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, tailored our time for US, and even set up our unusual request to find the perfect spot to spread the ashes of a loved one- there are really no sufficient words to describe how perfect this experience was!

Best custom tour - Daniel expertly customized the tour for our group. We had a 3 1/2 and 71/2 to 82 year old. Everyone was happy and found the sites interesting and worthwhile. He was knowledgeable and wide ranging. The tidal pools were amazing. We saw eagles and bears. The totem village was fascinating. Overall a total perfect tour.

Best Tour in Ketchikan - We had a great visit to Ketchikan and spent our morning with Paul. He met us with a joyful greeting and the rest of our time together did not disappoint! We saw totem poles, beautiful nature scenery, seals and even a waterfall! This private tour is an awesome way to get out of the crowds and to feel really VIP on your travels. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island with us! The Johnston family

Great tour! Highly recommend! - Great tour! Highly recommend. Paul was very knowledgeable and friendly. He met us at the welcome center at Ward Cover (Norwegian). We went to a waterfall, stopped to see bald eagles and then the totem poles. Had a 14 passenger van, so fit our group nicely.
