Forget the crowd, forget being on someone else’s schedule, forget seeing all of those sites that you aren’t interested in! It’s time to enjoy Ketchikan courtesy of Adventure Audio Tours – your tour, at your speed, to the sites that you are interested in, and allowing you to stop and enjoy all that Ketchikan has to offer whenever you happen upon it! The audio tour highlights 37 stops that have been identified by Historic Ketchikan, Inc. as having historic significance or interest to local visitors. You will discover fascinating tidbits about Ketchikan's mining, fishing and logging past, not to mention additional information about Ketchikan’s aviation history, our infamous “Bridge to Nowhere”, our underwater baseball field, and Ketchikan’s sordid past on Ketchikan Creek. Walking Ketchikan's streets entreats visitors to views of the work of native carvers and their apprentices sculpting including poles, canoes, paddles and masks. Renowned as the salmon capital of the world, Ketchikan is a haven for anglers and naturalists.

An Adventure Audio Tour will guide you past some of Ketchikan’s most significant historical and cultural destinations.

That’s the beauty of an Adventure Audio Tour excursion! The tour gives you the basics and then gives you the freedom to explore on your own!
