If you’re arriving by cruise ship, start your day at the Ketchikan Visitors Center to pick up a complimentary travel guide and walking tour map. Choose a guided experience that suits your interests—whether it’s a scenic land or water tour, or a half-day fishing adventure—all departing from the downtown area. Afterwards, stroll the Salmon Walk Trail through downtown and along Creek Street, discovering local attractions and spotting wildlife along the creek. Pause for a casual bite or a drink with a local before returning to your ship, refreshed and ready for your next Alaskan destination.
