Alaskan Cruise Excursion

Published on Oct, 2024

I meant to write this review upon our return from our cruise but things got away from us! This excursion was wonderful. The team were so nice and accommodating and being on the boat was a fun experience. We saw several eagles and eagles nests and totems along the coast line. Unfortunately, we were not able to see the lighthouse due to inclement weather, but the team were concerned more so about our safety. We still have an enjoyable time and would do it again!

Local tour

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a nice cruise of the local area on a small boat. Captain McNeil did aa great job pointing out the local features - eagles, lighthouse and totems. They serve the best hot coco!

Great day on the waters of Ketchikan

Published on Sep, 2024

Captain Jeff and crew were very skilled, knowledgeable and courteous. Captain Jeff made the commentary very interesting and related stories of growing up in Ketchikan.

Great excursion with great guide & staff

Published on Sep, 2024

Last week we went on a Disney cruise-booked excursion that was ran by Lighthouse Excursions. We had Captain Jeff Karlson as our guide. It was a fun trip and the staff were very friendly & helpful. We were able to see some local wildlife and amazing views during our sailing excursion. They served salmon dip & refreshments during our trip. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area as he was from Ketchikan originally. I highly recommend this excursion if you're looking to do something in Ketchikan either via local tourist or cruise ship booking.
