Description
If you want to see Ketchikan without being rushed or stuck on a set route, this private 4-hour van experience is a great way to do it. You’ll have your own comfortable vehicle and a local driver, and the day moves at whatever pace works best for you.
The experience is flexible by design. Pickup is right from your cruise ship or hotel, so there’s no extra planning or meeting points to worry about.
Once you’re on the road, you decide where to go. Many guests like starting in historic downtown and Creek Street, walking along the wooden boardwalks, and stopping at shops or viewpoints along the water. Others prefer heading out to paved scenic overlooks above town for photos, or visiting cultural spots like totem parks or local museums. If something catches your interest, you can stay longer. If not, you simply move on.
What most people appreciate is how relaxed the day feels. There’s no crowd, no fixed schedule, and no pressure to keep up with a group. Your driver adjusts the timing as you go and helps you get around efficiently while you focus on enjoying the scenery and the stops you’ve chosen.
Whether you have a short window in port or a full day to explore, this is an easy, comfortable way to see Ketchikan and make the most of your time here.
