11 Free (or nearly free) Things We Did in Ketchikan, Alaska

[@Rebec80]

Thank you for sharing. Your reading of the information for that statue when you just got off the ship is so appreciated. What a lovely way to start a vlog about the port with some of their history and honoring its people.

[@ianhenzel7690]

This is most definitely one of the better videos out there about how to have a good time while in port in Ketchikan. Appreciate that it's real and no hype!

[@RochelleAdamson]

Love that quote. Worry is a waste of imagination.

[@TWTTV]

Same. Love it. 💕

[@SightsSpice]

The scenery is beautiful and looks so peaceful! I love it

[@lordoffaiyum9727]

I may take a job out there. Sounds amazing.

[@TWTTV]

The scenery is so peaceful there. Love the waterfalls beautiful. The creek that flows through Creek Street is beautiful too.

[@memyselfandiamangel2006]

Liking and commenting! Yay!!!!!! Ketchikan was my favorite! Thank you for sharing your journey

[@karenbrown2775]

I live here almost 48 years now. Thanks for sharing our town town in a great light.

[@KeepingUpWithTheGriffins]

Alaska looks so coldddddd but it's pretty out there. Hopefully one day we will visit. That lake view was amazing! The salmon market looked real interesting.

[@FunandBudget]

Yes...it was August and we had to break out the Fall and Winter gear...LoL

[@Blue-rw9kj]

I worked at Barney Lind's Printshop in Ketchikan in !971, had a good ol time up there.

[@janicehopper6115]

Great video!! Very informative. So glad I found it before purchasing any of the excursions. We are going in August and the Salmon Market will definitely be 1 of our stops.

[@MrzCRiley]

Nice gift. I listened to a sermon about this, this morning...hmm I got some work to do. Like everyone the scenary is beautiful!

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

This looks like such a unique town. The crab fries look amazing 🤩🤤

[@Buddy69Love]

Thank you for sharing your Ketchikan Journey.

[@maryvandevander5832]

[@marthamac9741]

Great video and much appreciated. Headed there via cruise in 2 months and taking notes. ✌🏽

[@Jason-33W]

Great video. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

[@thefunandadventureactcharl3592]

Lovely coverage

[@FunandBudget]

Thank you!

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

Omg 😳 that smoked salmon cracker with the salsa… I need it. Lol I always thought I wanted to go to Alaska for the wilderness… now I want to go for the food. Lol

[@SittinginaTree]

LoL...trust me, go for the wilderness - the food wasn't anything to write home about

[@AandESeetheWorld]

Really enjoyed your video, seeing things we missed when we visited Ketchikan in 2019. But we are going back in September, so we WILL be getting that mug 😂😂

[@SittinginaTree]

LoL..thanks for watching

[@SightsSpice]

So smart to just get off the boat and see the prices. The cruise ships are ridiculous with their prices always

[@tianaandrews4763]

I use to stay there for two years I miss it so much

[@thefunandadventureactcharl3592]

I love water falls

[@MrActionjs]

We're going on our first Alaska cruise in September. Thanks

[@SightsSpice]

Those crab fries 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@JC-lx8bt]

My mom saw the tv and said that guy looks like Paul Pierce! 😂

[@SittinginaTree]

LoL

[@Ms.Mee777]

Great video! Where did you get the crab fries?

[@SittinginaTree]

I don't remember...I'd have to rewatch the video to find out

[@vernelllevingston1800]

This was good It is beautiful over there You guys need to go back just to do a tour on the food itself And my mom always wanted to go to Alaska So it gives me something to think about thank you guys

[@SittinginaTree]

Alaska is definitely different...I want to see the Northern Lights one day

[@vernelllevingston1800]

Yummy!!!!

Crab fries ? It sounds tasty

[@mskrislewis]

What is the location name where you saw the black bear and the waterfall?

[@SittinginaTree]

I cant recall...but the town is small enough that i am certain any local would know

[@arlenepoet5253]

@@SittinginaTree The black bear was seen out at Herring Cove (or The Alaska Wildlife Sanctuary, it is about 8 miles out the road south from your cruise ship. The waterfall is located 2 miles further, known as Mile 10 Waterfall.

Heyyyyy!

BEE*U*T*FUL!!!!! tfs 😍😍

[@John-ti1ys]

If you look harder at Ketchikan creek you can see the discarded needles that get tossed into the creek from drug users allot of heroin and meth activity especially park avenue by row of yellow houses

[@SittinginaTree]

Oh wow...didn't even notice

[@5rgyyuyrgg]

If Alaska was bought by America in 1867. Why did it not become a state until 1959?

[@MrzCRiley]

OK Dolly!

[@MrzCRiley]

I am glad you understood that..I can jack up a comment.🤦

[@aumj97]

Thank you my birthday present is a trip to Alaska we arrive on the 20 of July through 26 of July I'm going to be 70 .This is the best present ever . We are fishing for 2 days . We're staying in a cabin . We also rented a car .I can't wait . I feel like a little kid waiting to go to Disneyland . My son and grandson are going with us . Your KZbin video gave us great ideas on this trip .thank you so much for the information God bless

[@SittinginaTree]

Thank you so much for watching and happy 70th birthday to you!!!! Love that you are going to have this experience.

[@thefunandadventureactcharl3592]

Will you tell me what camera you use?

[@FunandBudget]

Its a Canon g7x mark II

[@kidmaxima4life]

Wow I had no idea Alaska was owned by Russia at one time.

[@AsiaCierraBudgets]

$13 a can!!!!????

[@arlenepoet5253]

It is crazy expensive, indeed! I justify it by realizing if I bought a boat, a fishing license, gas, harbor fees, it would cost a lot more! :) My favorite is to mix a can of sockeye with an equal amount of chopped walnuts. Add some craisins, liquid smoke and a little mayonnaise. Wonderful dip or sandwich material!

[@AsiaCierraBudgets]

@@arlenepoet5253 that sounds delicious as a dip!!!

[@TheMoodyArtistChannel]

I would have definitely bought that Starbucks mug. Enjoyed the tour!

[@thefunandadventureactcharl3592]

Alaska as a cruise, what adventure we have as Americans. I love it.

[@DJ9THETRUTH]

This is such an extremely informative, beautiful and helpful video all at the same time!🖤 Beautiful scenery, enjoy the cruise family and making memories together!🖤 #TheTruthHere

[@thefunandadventureactcharl3592]

That is a great camera view of the dead fish. It zoomed in and was really clear.

[@uDubRiceBoy]

[@hourglas39]

Wow, you bringing us some history. Never knew that the US purchased Alaska from Russia. Wow, nice tour on Dolly's House & too funny about the flowers being made from condums. 😂😂😂😂 Nice on the tour bus savings too.

[@kidmaxima4life]

The scenery is everything!

[@PhuongMalkin]

Ketchikan Creek st is beautiful ! We just came back from a cruise with a stop in Ketchikan and we really enjoyed it !

Nice to see people are visiting again! Glad you enjoyed your time in Ktown!

[@lynmaliglig]

Beautiful Alaska wow 🤩

Thank you for the great video. You meant the ship? A boat fits in a ship but a ship does not fit on a boat.

I LOVE your narration!!

[@lisaedenshaw-krieger4241]

Hi... loved watching your video. You're great at narrating! I'm from Kenya, Professional Tour Guide of my own company!! Tlingit Tours. Looks like you had a great time! Made me hungry for salmon!

[@SittinginaTree]

So awesome! Thank you for being here...our Kenya series is coming out now :-)

[@seeesspee]

So cool!

[@therealunclep]

Thanks for the video. I'm wondering, did you feel confident about getting back to the ship/dock area ontime when you took your shore excursion? That is one of my biggest concerns when not booking through the ship.

[@SittinginaTree]

Absolutely. I rarely do excursions with the ship and have never ran into issues making it back on time :-)

[@johncrosby2131]

In the Caribbean if you book tours and excursions through the ship you won’t get let behind. If you book on your own, you’re responsible for getting back to the boat on time. Good info in your video. Lots of ideas.

[@SittinginaTree]

I rarely do ship excursions and have been on over 20 cruises. Never left behind.

[@kidmaxima4life]

Just beautiful

[@benitamann6594]

Thanks for this video. going next week on my cruise and my daughter collects the starbucks mugs....how much were they? I didn't hear you say and didn't see the question asked in comments...? thanks in advance...

[@SittinginaTree]

It was about $20 (i just referenced my notes...lol)

[@benitamann6594]

@@SittinginaTree Thank you, I appreciate it. Hope she has some when we go through.
