Overview

Broaden your horizons with Clan House Tours: We are an Alaskan Native (Haida) owned and operated guide service in beautiful Ketchikan, Alaska, specializing in small VIP tours that will enhance your knowledge about the rich culture and history of the Haida & Tlingit people. You can’t experience Ketchikan without spotting some wildlife, so we have 3 stops just for possible sightings of bears, salmon, and eagles. You will also learn all about the history behind the iconic totem poles of Alaska as we explore the Totem Heritage Center and hear legendary stories that have been passed down for generations. All our vans are equipped with microphones so everyone can enjoy the great narration of everything Ketchikan and Haida. We will also show you what medicinal plants and berries are edible as we travel through the Rainforest in our comfy van. Traveling with us means no questions are left unanswered and that you leave Ketchikan satisfied with your cultural experience.

Really good.

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was very good. Rebecca, our guide was both very helpful and informative. We saw wildlife, the Salmon run and where they come to die at the end of their arduous journey. As an added bonus we got to see Humpback whales feeding also Would recommend this tour.

Great tour, highly recommend.

Great experience, guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She took her time showing and explaining every place she took us and gave us plenty of time to visit each stop.

Thoughtful perspective on area’s people and history

Published on Sep, 2024

Dan, our guide, was fantastic. His connection to the land and people of the area made for a thoughtful perspective that we appreciated. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of the area and I felt like there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer — exactly what we want in a guide. Thanks Dan!

Support the locals!

Local company with interesting insights to history and location. Friendly tour guides and comfortable for all ages.

We saw the salmon run and a bear and totems as promised.

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide was passionate about his life in Ketchican and his very close connection to the indigenous people in the area. We saw the salmon run and a bear and totems as promised, but the stories and the education that accompanied those sighting is invaluable.
