OVERVIEW

Cruise the scenic Tongass Narrows to downtown Ketchikan and enjoy a sampling of locally brewed beer along the way. The views will be spectacular the entire time and a naturalist will be on board to point out and describe the wildlife. Bald eagles, porpoises and seals are often spotted as the waterway is protected and makes for an ideal habitat. Bawden Street Brewing will provide 2 beer samples for the tasting, which may include a blonde Belgian-style ale and a brown porter with a hint of blueberry. As an alternative, champagne is available. During the hour or so that it takes to reach Ketchikan, the crew will offer suggestions and a detailed walking map to maximize your time there.
