Good Intro to Southern Ketchikan Island - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour to the southern part of Ketchikan Island. Our guide, Christopher, knows Ketchikan well, and he was able to fine several bears and several places where the salmon were running. We also visited a beautiful beach and Totem Heritage Museum which had a fascination collection of historic totems.
