Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been here 2014 on the Disney Wonder, but not since. So, look forward to it.

We were very cold by this point. I could have worn gloves on this day, but I didn't bring any for myself.

We had a a really great guide, Norm, who was a local and he is an indigenous person. Very knowledgeable, lots of information.

I would be wary of paying a lot for a tour where you will be enclosed in Ketchacan.
