1. Southeast Sea Kayaks
http://www.kayakketchikan.com
Independent company offering small group sea kayak tours - no experience necessary. 4 Hour Orcas Cove Trip is an excellent way to get away from town and see the beautiful surrounds - plus you get smoked salmon! Trips suit cruise ship visitors and independent travellers.
2. Totem Heritage Center
Totem Heritage Center, Ketchikan, Alaska
Walking distance from the cruise ship docks and downtown hotels. A walk up Creek Street and Along Married Men's trail is part of the fun. See totem poles being carved and learn about the art of the native people.
3. Creek Street
Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska
Even though there's always a crowd when the cruise ships are in, Creek Street should not be missed. It is picturesque and a genuine part of Ketchikan's seedy past.
4. Misty Fjords National Monument
Misty Fjords National Monument, Ketchikan, Alaska
6o miles by sea from Ketchikan, Misty Fjords National Monument is a spectacular wilderness area. Those with short time in town can add a Misty Fjord Float plane trip to Southeast Sea Kayaks' Orca Cove Trip for the ultimate Ketchikan Day. Visitors staying longer can take a tour boat to the Monument or an extended kayak trip.
