So next up on our Alaska cruise we have reached the port of Ketchikan.
Ketchikan is known as the “First City” of Alaska. Not because it was the first city settled in Alaska, but rather the first city you arrive at while taking the inside passage north.
The city is also known as Alaska’s first city and the Salmon Capital of the World. It’s nestled on the 12th largest island in the US and is the southeastern most city in the state.
In this video we invite you along as we show you what is available to do and give you some ideas for if Ketchikan is a stop on your Alaska cruise.

Maybe I’m weird, but I love going to grocery stores when traveling. You learn more about daily life there than in a souvenir shop or a tour.

Hey Everyone hope you enjoy the video of our port day in Ketchikan. Has anyone else made a stop here on your Alaska cruise and what did you do with your day here? Also what did you think of Kev's Lumberjack skills ? 🤣 would anyone else like the idea of having a go?

When you faced the hill and turned right to go to the row of colorful houses, if you had gone left, passed the tiny waterfall, and walked around the bend, that is where you see thousands of spawning salmon. The water is only 4” deep or so.

The Salmon sculpture pointing at the creek rapids is cool. As for size, you'd be amazed to see real Chinook (king) salmon in the creek, they can be almost as big as that.

I’ve been to Ketchikam twice, but in August & September. Lovely weather then. We had a friend in Juneau, but their bus system is great too.

@jennib11 Жыл бұрын

I was there one year at the very beginning of September and the salmon were spawning and it was amazing to see!! Ketchikan is one of my favorite ports!

@OneCouplesAdventure Жыл бұрын

Amazing 😁 we would love to go back when the Salmon are spawning

Loved your review of Ketchikan!! My favourite town in Alaska (haven’t been to Sitka) never did see the Lumberjack show but have done the Aqua duck tour and Dolly’s Museum. (Worth the $10) when you return, hopefully the fenicular is repaired and you can take it up to Deer Lodge and then walk down Married Mans trail and see the salmon spawn on the fish ladders!!

Loved your visit to Ketchikan, Kev and Stacey. Interesting reason for building it on piers. Enjoyed seeing the totem poles at Whale Park. The trash cans too! 🤣🤣Does remind me of a can of salmon. Great axe throwing Kevy! You'll go back to Johnson Creek and they'll have a parade waiting! 😁😁Fun watching the pro's too. The salmon looked delicious. Fun visit. Thanks for bringing us along.

Haha thanks Dave and Kathy, how cool would that be a parade waiting lol 😁 Alaska was a wonderful place. Hoping to get over to the US again by the end of the year all being well. We've got to try crose paths at some point too. Hope you're both well

Another fantastic Vlog guys! Think we're becoming your biggest fans... Really looking forward to seeing your round up video of the cruise. Out of curiosity... Will you give a price breakdown of the whole trip? An Alaskan cruise has been high on our list for a long time.. and a cost breakdown would be super interesting and helpful 😊

@OneCouplesAdventure Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Stephen. And yes definitely. There's still quite a few videos to come out yet but then we will sit down and explain how much everything cost and how we booked it all as I think it would be really useful for people to know how much an Alaska cruise would be as when we first started looking we had no idea lol

Thank your lucky stars for the cruise industry. Ketchikan used to be the ugliest town in the world! I used to work and live in South East Alaska and Ketchikan was the absolute worst, not that any of the towns in SE were exactly great. 180 inches of rain a year, that's an average of 1/2 inch per day. Sunny days are rare and beautiful, anything else is completely dismal!

Hi thanks so much and no don't mind you asking us at all. There's no particular reason really, in the 18 years we have been together we have never really drank. None of us have ever liked the taste of anything and its just never appealed to us. Then over time we just cut it out completely. We are massive foodies instead lol 🤣
