No refund and callous response from owner.
We could not go on this tour due to our cruise being cancelled.
We requested a refund, but were told that it was Viator's problem, not his. Then he went on to say "I truly believe that none of the ships should have even been canceled." (sic)
We were not even offered a credit for future use. Needless to say that we would never book with this operator again.
Ketchikan wildlife tour

This was an amazing tour with dominic, we saw bears, bald eagles and beaches and star fishes. He was so knowledgable and helpful. So nice, van was clean, he also explained everything so well.
Great job to you all. Well done.
Ok City/History Tour But...

First, the good - our driver/guide Ray was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and the wildlife. The tour was in a 13 passenger van and was very comfortable. We saw Totem Poles, and he explained the history behind the designs, but this does not stop at Saxman Village.
The not so good - the title is somewhat misleading - there was no opportunity to customize this tour, as you are actually booking with a large Ketchikan wildlife tour company (they also own Dolly’s on Creek Street). This is a set tour. We found out we could have paid less by booking with that company directly on Viator, or pre booking, or even walking to the booth on the pier.
We saw 2 bald eagles, though we did stop at an overlook to see if we could see whales (none) and later at Herring Cove to see bears (none). Not their fault the animals weren’t there to see, it was just the wrong time of years.

This is the wrong tour company.
You took a tour with Ketchikan Wildlife Adventures.
Just What We Had Hoped

We booked with Dom a day ahead. Really enjoyed his 3 hour tour. Even saw whales and a black bear! He is knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly enjoyed sharing what he does. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ketchikan Adventure Tours!
