| Planning Your Trip |
There is a lot to do in the Ketchikan area. If you're not fishing you may want to do some sea kayaking,
go flight seeing, visit some of the totem parks, or just go shopping. Ketchikan has all of these activities
among many others. The first thing you will need to do, however, is figure out how you are going to
get here. There are no roads to Ketchikan so if you are planning on driving you will need to take a
ferry.
You can get on the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry in Bellingham, Washington or Prince Rupert, British
Columbia. Another way to get to Ketchikan is on a Cruise. Cruises are nice but they are usually just in
town for the day. Most of the major cruise lines pass through Ketchikan and can be accessed on our
links page.
