We are a Haida Alaskan Native Owned and Operated Guide Service here in Beautiful Ketchikan, Alaska. Let Us Share Our Culture and Way of Life with you as we tour parts of Ketchikan and the surrounding area. Learn how to spot medicinal plants that have been used by the Tlingit/Haida peoples for thousands of years and learn about their benefits. You will also learn How to Read the Characters of the Totem Poles, what they mean, and their history. See eagles in their nests and other wildlife such as Whales, Deer, Bears, Sea Lions, Seals, and plenty of salmon. We do our best to ensure a high chance of spotting wildlife but it is not gauranteed. This is a private group style tour so there is a lot of felxibility in terms of routes and preference of stops. We will accomodate your pick-up and drop-off locations so reach out to us for pick requests if needed! We look forward to meeting your group and giving you a taste of our culture and Ketchikan's Beauty! (Group size is limited to 14)
