    Tourist thing to do in Ketchikan

    Total tourist thing to do but fun just the same

    We usual stir away from tourist areas and tourist draws while travelling but I decided to trust trip advisor reviews on this one. Was it hooky? Yes! Was it a true portrayal of a lumberjack competition? Probably not! Were the jokes obviously rehearsed vaudville? Yes!...More

    Lumberjack Show

    We had a great time at the Lumberjack Show. The Lumberjacks were not only personable but also amazing in the feats of strength and agility. They were also a lot of fun.

    The show was well paced and featured handsome and athletic young men showing off talents with axes and saws. I booked it as a cruise shore excursion.
