Just 90 minutes north of Seattle by plane lies Ketchikan, where an Alaskan adventure awaits you. Enjoy pristine rainforest, abundant wildlife, fascinating native culture and more in Ketchikan. Located on Revillagigedo Island, Ketchikan is Alaska's southernmost port of call for vessels traveling the Inside Passage. Large passenger ships dock in this port, enabling their guests to explore the town and surrounding area.

Originally a fishing camp, the town took its name from Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the area. Historic Creek Street runs along part of the creek. Lined with restaurants, galleries, and gift shops featuring Alaskan crafts, this street gives visitors a taste of Alaskan history. Not far away, The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show showcases competitions in logrolling, speed climbing, chopping and ax throwing!

Ketchikan brims with history. Its parks and museums display arts and crafts of Native Alaskans, including the world's largest collection of totem poles. Magnificent displays of totem poles and clan houses can also be found nearby at Totem Bight State and Saxman Native Village.
