Overview
Broaden your horizons with Clan House Tours: We are an Alaskan Native (Haida) owned and operated guide service in beautiful Ketchikan, Alaska, specializing in small group tours that will enhance your knowledge about the rich culture and history of the Haida & Tlingit people. You can’t experience Ketchikan without spotting some wildlife, so we have 3 stops just for possible sightings of bears, salmon, and eagles. You will also learn all about the history behind the iconic totem poles of Alaska as we explore the Totem Bight Historical State Park and hear legendary stories that have been passed down for generations. All our vans are equipped with microphones so everyone can enjoy the great narration of everything Ketchikan and Haida. We will also show you what medicinal plants and berries are edible as we travel through the Rainforest in our comfy van. Traveling with us means no questions are left unanswered and that you leave Ketchikan satisfied with your cultural experience.

Itinerary
1. Ketchikan City Highlight's
2. Walk with us beneath the Tongass rainforest canopy on the short trail to the Clan House, where the forest itself becomes part of the story. Along the way, your guide will bring the rainforest ecosystem to life—towering trees, native plants, fungi, and the salmon that nourish this land and its people. Keep watch for ravens and eagles, who are often seen and heard in this area. At the Clan House, you’ll step inside a traditional home of a Clan leader and extended family, where history, identity, and teachings were passed from one generation to the next. Outside, the totem poles stand as carved stories in cedar. Here you’ll hear the story of the Devil Fish Pole and the Raven-Fog Woman Totem Pole, including how Fog Woman gave the people the gift of returning salmon each spring, summer, and fall. This is more than a walk through a historic site—it is a living story of forest, family, and culture.
3. This famous bear viewing area is the perfect place to spot black bears and eagles fishing for salmon. There are many mother bears that bring their cubs here as well so be on the lookout!
4. Possible Whale sightings with tidal poles at low tide. Scenic view of Nicholes Passage and the Gateway to the Gulf of Alaska.
5. A short stop at Creek Street with Historical facts of days gone before statehood.
