Ketchikan Native (Yéil) Tours LLC - Ketchikan, Alaska

George Neuman

Our tour guide, Jody, was a wonderful host during our stay in Ketchikan! Jody adapted to a natural disaster (landslide) that happened the day before our tour. She pivoted and altered our planned events to avoid the affected area and ensured that we experienced all the wonderful sites that Ketchikan has to offer! Jody was charming and knowledgeable and provided great commentary. We saw bald eagles and a bear along with learning about the local culture.

We had a group of 5 and Jodi was fantastic. Extremely knowledgable and did an awesome job navigating the crowds! She knew just what hot spots to hit when! AND she even did an ‘on the fly’ stop for a friend who is a quilter to check out a couple of shops or 2!!

Honestly I can’t recommend this tour enough! We had a great morning!

Ketchikan Native Tours offers an excellent combination of breathtaking natural scenery, and fascinating local history. During the tour, you’ll be drawn in by the stunning views of Ketchikan’s lush forests, gorgeous ocean, and diverse wildlife. The tour guide was exceptionally engaging, adding to the experience with fascinating insights. The tour not only shows the area’s spectacular beauty (providing many photo opportunities) but also dives deep into the cultural history of the indigenous communities that have called this place home for centuries. This is the best way to spend your time while exploring off ship in Ketchikan!

Sid was amazing! She has a wealth of information regarding the local area and culture. She gave us clear instruction where to meet her at the cruise ship port. It was so much fun spending the day with her with our group of 6. Don't hesitate to book with this company. They took excellent care of us from start to finish. Absolutely 5 star!

We took this tour last week! Sid was a great guide and gave us lots of info about the places we visited. The totem pole park was very interesting, more so than I thought it would be honestly. The tour is really cool because you have the flexibility to go where you want, and if you don’t know where you want to go, they have suggestions. We just wished we booked a longer tour. We did the 2.5 hour tour and would have loved more time to explore.

Jocelyn Witsken

Last week we had the best tour with Sid. It exceeded our expectations. She was on time, extremely knowledgeable about everything Ketchikan, professional, courteous and fun. It was like having a local make you feel like in insider - which is exactly the point. We skipped the outrageous cruise ship melee and loved this tour we found on our own. Thank you, Alaska Native Tours! You made our trip a once in a lifetime event!

The tour was fantastic and our guide was personally knowledgeable about the culture and customs of the area. She shared stories that were personal and relevant, not scripted. The owner made sure we got back to our ship on time and picked us up after the lumber jack show I would recommend this company 100%!!!

Isaac & Melissa were awesome tour guides. Not only were they very accommodating to our group that ranged in age from 16-80, but they showed us some amazing places. Born and raised in Ketchikan, they had a lot of knowledge about the town’s history and culture. I highly recommend using them.
