Excursion Overview

Sip, Stroll, and Soak in the Spirit of Ketchikan

Want to truly get to know a place? Share a drink with the people who call it home. This lively and informative 90-minute walking tour invites you to explore the heart of Alaska’s First City the way locals do—one pub at a time.

Led by a true Ketchikan local, you’ll journey through the town’s storied past with gripping tales, historic photos, and a few legendary characters along the way. At each of the three hand-picked pubs, you’ll enjoy your choice of one of their most popular drinks—whether you’re into local brews, craft cocktails, or something a little stronger.

This is more than a pub crawl. It’s your backstage pass to the real Ketchikan: a town steeped in frontier spirit, quirky charm, and the kind of rugged hospitality you won’t find anywhere else. Pull up a stool, hear the stories, and get a taste of everyday life in this unforgettable rainforest port.

What a fun time plus a nice walking history tour of Ketchikan, especially if you've visited before and looking for something new. Really enjoyed each pub's specialty cocktail. Don't think because of the word "pub" it is all about beer.

This tour is awesome. Not only did we learn about the history of the older established pubs, we also learned about the history of the town. I highly recommend this tour. You will be doing some walking. Highly recommend. Joey from Alabama.
