Ketchikan by horse drawn trolley

[laniriveira]

Does anyone know if Ketchikan by horse drawn trolley is still being offered? I googled it and a website came up showing that you have to book thru your cruise line. I went to Carnival's website and it's not showing up. Can I buy tickets once in port?

I hope it goes out of business. It does nothing but clog local roads.

We were in Ketchikan last summer, and I don't remember seeing a horse drawn trolley. I enjoy horses, and so usually notice horse drawn trolleys. Maybe I just missed it.

I think it may have moved....I do see this offered in Victoria

 

The "Paddleboat" that was in Ketchikan a season or two has moved to Seattle and is now the "Queen of Seattle" Paddleboat

 

 

we are still trying to figure whether to go on the Paddleboat or the Duck in Seattle LOL

 

Maybe these tourist attractions move to cities that are more year round (Victoria/Seattle?)

 

I also found some good horse carriage rides in Victoria...I realize this is not everyone's cup of tea but I do enjoy them. From what I see the companies in Victoria take good care of their horses and equipment

 

The horse trolley I saw was offered thru Carnival in Victoria and is $49

 

I do see some sort of "trolley" tour in Ketchikan, motorized <grin>...hth

The Horse Drawn Trollies was not in operation last year and as far as I know, will not be in operation this season as well. If I hear any different, I'll be sure to let you know - but I don't anticipate them being back. Sorry! :-)
