Ketchikan Bush Pilots Lounge Sights & Bites Tour

Excursion Overview

A true taste of Alaska in downtown Ketchikan!

At Bush Pilots' Lounge in downtown Ketchikan, immerse yourself in a true taste of Alaska with a multi-course, scratch-made meal featuring local delicacies like Dungeness Crab, Halibut, and wild-caught Salmon. Pair your meal with Alaskan beer or wine from our extensive collection, or enjoy house-made non-alcoholic drinks. Many ingredients are sourced directly from local fishermen, while others, like hand-harvested spruce tips, are brought in by Bush Pilots from around the state.

Located on the historic waterfront, the restaurant overlooks the bustling float plane docks, where local Bush Pilots take off and land. As you enjoy your meal, soak in the unique history of Bush Aviation displayed on the walls, featuring rare photos from local archives. Learn about pioneering flights to Alaska, the floating neighborhoods that once dotted the region, and the roots of Alaska Airlines.

For a one-of-a-kind experience, explore the owner’s painstakingly crafted 3D map of Alaska’s Inside Passage, highlighting over 2,000 place names and your Alaskan journey's must-see spots. And if you're here in the evening, you might just pick up some insider tips from the locals themselves.
