Returning to downtown Ketchikan, you can be dropped off at Creek Street to stroll the boardwalk, do some shopping, or continue the ride back to return to your cruise ship.

PLEASE NOTE: The Trolley Tour in Ketchikan does not operate on Saturdays and offers only morning departure times. In the event that your ship docks in Ketchikan on a Saturday or arrives after 11:30 am, the Potlatch Totem Park, Alaskan Wildlife, and Ketchikan Highlights Bus Tour will be substituted for the trolley tour. This alternative tour follows a nearly identical itinerary, visiting Potlatch instead of Saxman, and is conducted via van/coach rather than a trolley. Additionally, to compensate for the change, the tour is extended by an extra 30 minutes in duration.
