Ketchikan Jeep Safari and Canoe ride

[bwarren]

Has anyone ever done the jeep excursion in Ketchikan that ends with a canoe ride? It sounds great, and I was about to book it, but I thought I'd ask y'all for advice first!

It doesn't get raves, that I have seen??

Hmmm...what do you think is the best excursion in Ketchikan (other than those that involve small aircraft!)

We will be Ketchikan from 6 am-noon, so whatever tour we pick (Diamond Princess) all leave very early. Has anybody ever done the Salmon Falls Jet Boat Excursion or Wilderness Exploration & Crab Feed?

My "best" probably are flights.

Native culture is excellent- it's a great walking city. Perhaps pickup the free walking tour map at the dock visitor center?? There is also the Wal mart shuttle bus.

Salmon Falls- yes.. loved it but love that sort of trip.. If you are "into" native culture etc. you might do the walking thing or go out to Saxman but if not, the kayaking, jet boat etc. are great. Weather that early in the a.m. could be iffy for flying. We have had port calls there early and others that didn't arrive till 10-12:00. It can be very foggy early a.m. but it's unpredictable as is everything weatherwise in Alaska.
