I was born and raised in Ketchikan as was my family! My grandfather was a commercial fisherman in Ketchikan for 50 years! Fun to see this! ❤️

My family and I are taking an Alaskan Cruise on celebrity next year. Thank you for his awesome video with ideas on where to go. Keep up the awesome work.

Wow, that was fantastic. I think I’ll take the same path you did. Thank you so much for the time and effort you and your family put into making that.

7:40 Dang , it's a free show if you peek through the gate ! LOL

This is a fascinating video! Thank you for posting.

Thanks so much for taking us on such a fabulous walk around Ketchikan with you. We will be there next year on a HAL cruise, and your video has really upped the excitement level. Cheers

VERY NICELY COVERED THE PLACE.VERY VERY INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL.KEEP IT UP.

I used to work at Oosterdam, during assignment got chances to visit Ketchikan. You bring the memory back. Thank you for share🙏🙏

Thanks for the informative tour! Can't wait to visit!

Very nice video. My wife and two daughters will be heading on an Alaskan cruisetour June 2020. I appreciate all of your videos and the information you are sharing!

We’re headed there on our very first cruise! This video was very helpful - Thank you!

Nice video! Walked right by our old house!!! Love our old hometown, Ketchikan is beautiful!

Great video. I was in the US Coast Guard, stationed in Ketchikan during the mid 90s. Best smoked sockeye salmon I've ever tasted!

My aunt & cousins moved to Ketchikan last month, can’t wait to visit her this summer.

Thanks for the town orientation. Very helpful as we study up for our Celebrity Cruise in August 2021.

Loved your walk. I miss Alaska and hoping that we can return this next summer..2021! Ketchikan is one of my favorite ports...I work onboard Princess as a seasonal worker during the summers. This was a vey nice reminder! thank for sharing.

Heading up in June '22 to cruise. This is one of our ports as well. Thanks for the advance tour!

Good video, AND I caught that GREAT quip about "BLIND FAITH"-What a great Band they were, you old 'ROCKER" You!!

You are always so full of grand information! You're exceptionally helpful! I'm a bit surprised more viewers haven't found you! Keep enjoying and sharing. Many of us appreciate you!

This was great. We are headed there in July for our first cruise ever. Enjoyed the video so much.

This is a very good and informative video. Thank you

Myself and family are going on the Westerdam in 3 days! Thank you so much for this video!!!

Another great video . Thanks .

Thank you so much. I am saving this video for my trip

Good video. Made me add Ketchikan to my upcoming trip. Thank you

Dangit! I'm actually going on an Alaskan cruise in about 2 weeks. You should've scheduled it there and did a "fan meetup" haha. Thanks for the video!! Perfect timing.

Was very disappointed that the weather cancelled our trip to this port. Thank you for showing me some of what I missed.

Sir, you're a natural guide! Ty :)

Thank you so much for sharing😊

Loved the tour of Ketchikan.

That was fun. Thank you.

Funny video.. love the dry humor. Great tour

I love your video. Enjoyed it and thanks!

Thanks. Going there in 45 days. Think I'll walk the port because of your video

Great intro to Ketchikan... ! TY Janet & Gareth :)

I visited 3x. There is a very nice museum and nature center. I enjoyed the walk through the city park.

Ketchikan is my first port that i used to sign on in ncl cruse line as a cook way back 1996 i was only 26 yrs old and i cannot forget that moment in my life how i wish i could visit again one day thanks for your beautifull vlog bro from philippines.

"These people again" 😂 I loved your commentary on this video of this charming city.

This is awesome thank you so much great information we are taking an Alaskan Cruise and this video was amazing

Nice I was born in Ketchikan, you walked right past my aunt's house. Great video, haven't been home in years.

Excellent narration! I will be going there in 3 days. I was there in 2016 and din't know about the tram. Now I will go up to the Cape Fox Lodge and walk down just like you did. Just subscribed Thank you!!!

Thanks for the info!

That was very helpful. Thank you :)

We are going to Alaska in Sept 2021 so this Video is very helpful😊

This is inspiring for me as well as I do my initial research for an alaskan cruise. I hear Juneau, AK is a good stop along the way too. But I def. want to see Ketchikan and get souvenir salmon treats. . lots.

Hi. I’m 58 now. My family moved to Ketchikan when I was 5. From Southern California. Only stayed a year or so, but I remember the salmon stacked in the creek. Thanks for sharing

💯💖💖 thanks for sharing..❤️

We're going on an Alaskan cruise next year and your videos are very helpful! I'm a new subscriber and look forward to watching more. 🚢

thank you for sharing. one day i'd like to go and see it all for myself :D

I enjoyed most of your video. I just saw this from the many videos people have posted. I am going on The HAL Zuiderdam April 27, 2022. Its been 3 years since I sailed to Alaska. That cruise was on the HAL Westerdam in a suite which was really nice. This time I am sailing in a balcony. Keep up the good videos. Maybe your wife can do a little narrative :).

Going to Ketchikan in May on the Encore. Great video

Great video and info, subscribed :)

I loved this. I lived there as a child. Was the Thai restaurant still there? My grandparents had a shop that used to sell fudge . Man . All the feels. I miss them

I went to Ketchikan on a cruise back in August, but the ship was only docked for 4 1/2 hours, so there wasn't much time to explore. I just walked to the Safeway and then went back to the ship. What I saw I liked, though.

Great video - very interesting,,

Thanks very helpful

Nice tour

Going to Alaska next year but after watching a lot of videos on the weather up there I might have to rethink this .

Hi guys, was following your cruise to Mexico on Discovery Princess then saw these in Alaska, I'm on the Discovery Princess to Alaska in mid May this year. Getting really anxious now!!!

Great Video

Excelant video . . . . . i saw its place so v vv happy to see it

Looks like a great port. I'll be there June 2023.

very nice well done.

I worked as a tour guide in Ketchikan the summer of 2019. It was a wonderful 7 months. Almost every afternoon I enjoyed a fresh cappachino in the NY Cafe. Delicious appetizer dinners at Cape Fox or crepes after six. Yummy.

Great video thanks

I love Ketchikan Alaska! Best food and people were great...

Ketchikan resident here. I enjoyed your video. You seem like a pleasant person and did a good job with the town tour. You got a few things wrong but they weren't too important. Except, most the stores in the area you walked are not locally owned. A few are though. Yes always try and find the true local stores when traveling. Too bad you were here during all the construction. It was awful. And the weather was very typical that day. 140 to 160 inches of rain a year. That's 11 to 13 feet, that's less than when I moved here, it was 15 feet back then.

Thanks for the video. It's a lot like actually being there. It seems like a tourist trap.

I tend to favor the Great Smoky mountains and east coast ranges, but I like this as well. The climate in summer is better in Ketchikan than the east coast too. Thanks for the video.

I been up there several times on a cruise ship but I never seen that many cruise ships in Ketchikan the most I have ever seen was 4 most of the time only 3... We always did excursions, the lumber jack show, totem bight, whale sight seeing boat ride, and I think they had a helicopter sight seeing ride..... Also lots of shopping....

Wow, 1pm is early to depart from a port....6pm, 8pm and 10pm are our departure times from the 3 ports (Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan) on our Alaska cruise with Holland America in 3 months...that seems reasonable!

My sister and I are going on The Norwegian Encore Alaska Cruise June 2021 and we will only be in Ketchikan for 6 hours. I'm not sure why. That doesn't give you much time to explore. 7am to 1:15pm. Saving this vlog to help us find our way around quickly.

I do tours all summer long I work from 6:amto 6pm and where you saw that red builing on the corner by main st. that whole stripe used to be where our saw mill was it was there for quite some time as with our pulp mill and logging back from when we started out and got all these up and running we had an island filled with muti millionaires and then things started getting shut down we had businness on every block and only one main jeweler's before Julie's and a lot of places shut down it was then a walmart came in and all the businesses shut down downtown and it was a sad sight the high cost of low prices but since then we are getting locally owned and operated businesses up and running again thank goodness my Husband and I are self employed so it helps us to be able to take time off in the summer to go fishing camping etc., and that was awesome when he said shop local thank you for that,whenever my husband and I go south we do as much local shopping and eating out in the lower 48's we understand the importance of this

Thank you for your video. This is awesome! Can you tell me how long it took you to navigate through the 3 miles? Was the signage adequate for a newbie?

So beautiful Ketchikan & too anauncer great I liked I think stay here sonice ,glad,funny from Thane, India

Nice video. Very informative and fun. What camera stabilizer do you use?

i been at lumber jack show the rest looks like every money trap but that what make the wheels turn i guess neat video A+

This is my hometown and if anyone is planning on coming up on a cruise you'd wished you all flew up so that you had more time here because 4 or 5 hours touring around just isn't long enough there is so much to see and for you avid hikers as my family and I are you'll love our trails and our mountains and those of you whom love boating etc., on the waters you'll have a blast here my family and I do everything outdoors all summer long we go ; camping,hiking, fishing,gold panning, scavenger hunting and have barbeques in our backyard oh and our view from our backyard is Deer Mountain and it's our view when we wake up in the morning and if you love zip lining well,we have that as well,so hope to see you this summer 2022 have fun and be safe

You showed us a lot with great narration.I didn't see a Harley Davidson shop is there one within walking distance?

Catch me if you can, I've been here 2 years ago, we went to Lumberjack show and we rode the trolley to the statue.

Nice town!

I’m actually a local of Ketchikan and I’m just kinda giggling about this. Because he was right he headed towards the main staged town but in the winter the main part of town is the other way where the only mall is. And the only McDonalds.

Just thinking if you guys come again I could take you to ward lake and the totems parks just a thought

Very helpful tour. Would like to know what time of year you were there (sounds like Spring?) and how long you were in port. Also, other than a coffee shop or two, didn’t see many restaurants? Thanks.

Great video, we will be there Aug 2nd 2022, so hopefully we might catch the end of the salmon run.

I want to move there so much! I'm a wood carver an artisan if you will. I love the wild and want to change of atmosphere. I love rain cold extra.

From most of the Alaskan cruise videos I've watched, I'm beginning to believe that neither Skagway nor Ketchikan wouldn't exist without the cruise industry

We had fun exploring Ketchikan.

What season was this? I’m going next week, and I’m not sure what to pack.

What season is it?Is there an immigration check at the port?

May I know when did you go? In the video it looked very cold! lol

Do they have bear walking close to this city? is it safe to walk close to trees in quiet places here?

Take a shot every time he says Lumberjack Show! 😄

May I trouble you Sir , too ask what month this was? We are travelling in August up that way and wondering what sort of weather we may encounter.

Hello there. Does anyone know what time of the year this video was taken? UKposts no longer gives the date videos were posted.

What month did you go there? I'm planning trip there this year and trying to find the best month to go.

Hi, does Ketchikan have good internet connection?

I live in ketchikan and my dad has been a fisherman for about 35 years and the ooster dam i havent seen since this video was uploaded

What time of year was this taken?

There’s a great crepe restaurant there!
