The BEST way to see Ketchikan!! - 10/10! Highly recommend! Clarke was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Really tailored the tour to our interests- stopped at Rainbow Falls, Creek St, Potlach Park and so much more! We had my 9 year old son with us and he did a great job holding his interest through the tour by creating “challenges” for him to complete for a prize at the end…my son absolutely loved it!! I booked this tour quite last minute and Clarke still arrived early and picked us up right at our ship. Texted us when he arrived and dropped us off right back at our dock. He made the process so easy and stress free! Do not miss this excursion!!

Will do again, Clark's tour is the best way to see Ketchikan! - I'm so happy we booked Clark's tour/Puddle Jummpers! It was a personal tour. Clark is a natural for sharing Ketchikan information. We were able to visit everything we wanted to see. Plus he shared the best places for souvenirs and FUDGE!! Saw lots of eagles, authentic totem pole/ buildings, a waterfall plus the historic areas/salmon ladder. Walked on the beach and even held a small crab. The pace was perfect! My husband was happy that we had no last minute port shopping. We found authentic art sweatshirts, salmon berry jellies and the best chocolate with blueberries! We had our 13yr granddaughter with us and she enjoyed it too. Definitely would do again!! Also no stress meeting up with Clark. He sent text messages as we were getting off our ship!

Perfect - Customizable Tour - Highly Recommend this excursion with Clarke - We had limited time in port, and Clarke made the most of that time. He picked us (2 adults and 3 kids) up in Ward Cove, and discussed what we would like to do for the day. We started off with a short hike at Settler's Cove and spent some time at the beach there as well. After Settler's Cove we stopped at Potlatch Totem Park to view the tribal houses and totem poles. Our last stop was the Downtown Ketchikan area, exploring Creek Street and other areas around Creek Street. We had time to grab a bite to eat during this stop as well. After these stops, Clarke dropped us back off at Ward Cove, making the trip seemless. He provided great commentary and a lot of knowledge during our time together, giving us the history of Ketchikan and background information of all areas we went to. He also had soda and water if we wanted. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough as we had the perfect day in Ketchikan. Thanks Clarke for a great, memorable day in Ketchikan!

Recommend! - We had a wonderful time! We wanted to go to see nature away from the tourists. Our tour guide was so sweet! She even came back to the port area to give us our binoculars that we left in her van.
