An incredible Ketchikan tour! Cheyenne was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area. We especially loved all of the wildflowers and berries. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ketchikan.

Our tour exceed all expectations! The location was easy to find, all materials for our art class were provided, and the artist is quite famous! We learned an indigenous beading technique, and got to take home our own project. We were honored to be taught by someone with such skills!
Elora
Beading with Savannah was absolutely amazing! I’ve never had the chance to book such a unique tour. My 2 daughters and I talk about how this was our favorite activity in ALL of ALASKA!
We are so lucky there were spots open for this tour, there was only 3 spots open all day, so we got the later tour. Everything was included to create our beaded patch, and we enjoyed the food and drinks included
