"We had a wonderful time, especially on the Anan Creek excursion.  It was incredible and the pilot was great!  We highly recommend this tour.  People we talked to on the cruise who booked their excursions through the boat had totally different experiences...in Ketchikan they took them to Neets, as booked, and there were zero bears (which is what our guides said would be the case and that is whey they changed ours to Anan Creek).  Needless to say, we were glad we had used your agency.

 

We will pass your name on to friends who are traveling to Alaska.  I am so glad I found you.

 

Thanks for your help."

 KTN-149 - Prince of Wales Island Bear Viewing

 

No cruise ship tour to Alaska is complete without bear watching. Some bears have been spotted from cruise ship tours and even in the town of Ketchikan AK but it is unlikely that you will see these sly creatures unless you travel on one of our wildlife tours. According to Alaska wildlife biologists, bear watching shore excursions in Ketchikan are your best opportunity. In fact, the highest Black Bear population is found on Prince of Wales Island.
