Customer Reviews

Jun 2022 - Duane F.

Our guide, Ben, found some great spots for photos. He provided technical assistance as well as history for the area. Would highly recommend this tour.

Jun 2022 - Kathleen B.

I can not recommend this excursion enough. Not only did we visit beautiful spots around Ketchikan and learn about the area, but I learned great photo techniques that I did not realize were available on my IPhone. My husband brought a camera and he got some fabulous photos as well.

May 2022 - David P.

Well done with a small group tour in Ketchikan! Some good techniques for better picture taking - you do not have to be a pro. Wish we had an extra hour.
