    My wife and I recently took a tour with Lighthouse Excursions during our day in Ketchikan while on our honeymoon and had a wonderful time! The whole team was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We learned so much about the area and were able to see lots of wildlife! I was especially excited to see the lighthouse as I am big into maritime history and spent many years living in Nova Scotia, it was so cool to be able to see it up close from the boat! The hot chocolate and snack plates were also a very nice added touch. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ketchikan!
