You'll begin your two-hour tour with a short motorcoach ride to the Saxman Native Village where you'll experience the rich living culture of southeast Alaska's Native Americans. You'll want to be sure to bring your camera, as the Village offers countless photo opportunities and you will have access to areas not available to independent guests.

Once you arrive, a tour host will welcome you in the Tlingit dialect and you'll enter the Beaver Clan House. Inside, you'll get to witness an elaborate display of traditional songs and dances. Banging drums, infused aromas and regalia portray the stories of the fierce warriors of the village. But watching is not all. You'll have a chance to join the fun. It will be your turn to don Tlingit regalia and experience the thrill of joining the Cape Fox Dancers for the show's finale.

After the performance your guide will share the background of canoe making at the Canoe Canopy. Visit the Carving Center for an up close look at totem carving and paint making. The totem pole park is the last area to explore with detailed descriptions about the carved figures and cultural significance of each pole. A stop at the Village Store provides an opportunity to purchase some of the finest Native art available or a memento of your visit.

You'll then re-board your motorcoach for a scenic ride as you make your return trip back to your ship. You'll see Alaska's busiest waterfront, bustling with floatplanes and boats. You'll drive by infamous Creek Street, Ketchikan's former red-light district during the Gold Rush, and see historic residential areas and the turn-of-the-century style downtown area.
