What to Eat and Do in Ketchikan Alaska in One Day
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
After a planned float plane tour was cancelled, the creators pivot to a UTV excursion and a food-focused itinerary in Ketchikan, Alaska. The day begins with a visit to Jellyfish Donuts, where they enjoy fresh, warm donuts. They then travel through the Tongass National Forest for a UTV adventure, navigating muddy terrain and potholes to visit a waterfall and Mahoney Falls. Despite the rain, they find the experience enjoyable and encounter local wildlife like deer. Following the excursion, the creators visit a fish house to eat halibut tacos, salmon chowder, and Dungeness crab. The afternoon includes a walk through the historic Creek Street boardwalk and stops at local breweries, including Bailey Brewing Company and Boden Street Brewing. They conclude their day with a final drink at Alaska Legends before returning to their ship. The creators reflect that the off-grid UTV experience provided a meaningful connection to the Alaskan landscape, ultimately preferring the spontaneous adventure over their original plans.
