    Hey, We are still here
    When you are giving your eighth tour of the day it is tempting to loosen up and have friendly banter with other staff like: spraying water, hitting, chatting with staff while clients sit. But it is the first tour of our life. We deserve your attention and best effort the entire time we are on tour.

    Stacey our guide was a hoot! Loved her delicate delivery on the milk and cookies subject. Wished we could have gone farther out on water.

    We were supposed to see the duck tour representative on the dock to check in. It was raining, windy, and cold, the representative didn't show up, after waiting 30mins we decided to leave. Never took the trip.

Don’t believe all the positive reviews. They promise a “gift” if you write a five star review mentioning the guides’ names before getting off the bus. (The “gift” turns out to be a tiny rubber duck worth five cents). The tour was decent but a walk on creek street is far more pleasant and you can see more on your own. After a brief ride on the water, we saw a couple eagles on shore, which was a highlight, then 15 minutes to wash the bus down, and another 20 minutes listening to the guide’s hopes to finish college and join some charity as part of her pitch for a tip (this is their standard strategy, though the story will vary, as you can see from other reviews). However, all that said, if you want a brief tour of town and your kids like an amphibious bus, it could something to consider, but note there are less expensive tour options.

Capt.Tony and Kailey made a great team. Both shared personal stories related to how they now work for this tour company, Clearly Kailey loves this job… she was funny, knowledgeable and kept the pace of the tour going so there was never any down time giving the passengers a chance to start their own conversation. Of all the shore excursions offered by Holland America, this was the best for moderate to easy needing guests. A+

Such a great time! Kessa (tour guide) was the perfect blend of sweetheart, funny and super informative! She alone made the experience worth it.

And Captain Tony got us around (on land and water) perfectly safe. And he had some great stories!

We really enjoyed checking out all the landmarks - and it’s quite awesome that their vehicle is able to function as both a bus(ish) and boat. Even on this rainy and foggy day this 1.5 hr tour was totally worth it.

Unfortunately I don’t feel that the four guide was very hospitable to our family with small kids. Also the jokes were very lame and everything was very rehearsed. (Usually I am a fan of yours and jokes but this was not one of those times.) Her and the driver spent a long time telling personal stories that were not interesting. Everything was rushed and didn’t see much if anything of interest. Spent a long time waiting for the boat to be rinsed off - like 10-15 mins sitting listening to personal stories. We were unable to get off at any point. I think it was a waste of money.

Loved the crew on our duck tour in Ketchikan. Sorry I can’t remember the captain’s name but he was hilarious along with our guide John Gunnerson. They both made the ride enjoyable and fun in addition to being informative on a rather rainy, not very nice morning. Both were delightfully interactive with the passengers on board
John even showed us pictures of his new wife and their wedding and talked about his future aspirations Good luck to you and your wife.
Would highly recommend this tour, especially with our Cap’t and John

We took Ketchikan DUCK tour that was booked through the Celebrity Cruises. We disembarked into a pouring rain and were worried that our tour would be a total loss. Our tour guide John and Captain Lance more than made up for the incumbent weather. Besides being an informative guide, John is also a natural entertainer. Before long everyone was having a great time and we totally forgot about the rain. The tour was great way to explore the city and the harbor in the short amount of time that we had in Ketchikan.

Keith and Lee did a great job of giving some history of Ketchikan, and told lots of corny jokes. Good trip for 1.5 hour tour. We saw a couple of Bald Eagle in the harbor.

What a great way to spend a morning. Stacey Lynn and captain Jonathan made the trip very memorable and took time to point out Harbour seals and different points of interest around the town! Really funny stories, lots of jokes and the fastest 90mins I've spent. Would recommend this trip to everyone.
