Set out from Ketchikan along the scenic North Tongass Highway, where the Tongass Narrows and lush coastal rainforest frame your journey. A guided walk through Totem Bight State Park leads you along a half‑mile forest trail lined with restored Tlingit and Haida totem poles. Step inside a replica 19th‑century Raven Clan House to learn about Native Alaskan society and traditions.
Continue to a secluded hilltop venue surrounded by evergreens and sweeping water views for a fireside culinary experience. Chefs prepare locally sourced dishes over open flames as you watch seafood sizzle and meats roast, sharing stories of Alaskan life and cooking methods. Savor a multi‑course buffet in this unforgettable setting before returning to port.
