Ketchikan Private Saxman Totem Park, City & Herring Cove Wildlife Tour

Excursion Overview

A multi-stop, private and personalized experience in Ketchikan, Alaska

This personalized private tour will take you to the Saxman Native Village Totem Park. Here you will find the world's largest collection of Totem Poles. Some of the poles were moved here from the old Cape Fox Lodge and are over a hundred years old. Browse the park and learn the stories and history of these grand historic works of Native Art. Learn of traditional tools, paints, and techniques of Totem Pole carving as you watch carvers perform their craft at the Carving Shed.

The next part of your journey continues on a scenic 9-mile coastal drive to beautiful Herring Bay, a quaint area that takes you far away from the crowds and people. Slow down and take in the sites and sounds of the beautiful wildlife viewing area. During salmon season, black bears, eagles, herons, and fur seals are often spotted in this area. View the salmon just a few feet away as they fight their way upstream from June through September. This tour also includes Creek Street and our famous "Red Light District".
