A definite adventure experience!
Definitely bring your walking shoes or comfortable footwear that you’re OK with doing a bit of hiking in.
Do not expect great food. A lot of the foods are hearty dishes, pasta stews, etc …
My experience as a Black person was OK. I didn’t really receive any ill will however we are not great in numbers there so there were a lot of people who will look at you with curiosity.
The scenery is absolutely fabulous. It is a photographers dream.

Traveling While Black
I was on the Seven-Day Alaskan Norwegian Cruise in May. One of the ports was Ketchikan, Alaska. We were there for approximately five hours.
Ketchikan is the city of Salmon. Unfortunately, we weren’t in Ketchikan for a long time. We did a city tour excursion, which cost $40. Our tour guide took us to different spots in the city. We learned the history of the totems and salmon. It wasn’t Salmon season, so there weren’t any salmon in sight. We were told Salmon season starts in June. I was sad that we didn’t stay in Ketchikan longer because the small town has a lot to show.
Before we arrived in Ketchikan, the cruise took us to the Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve. Glacier Bay was the most beautiful view I have ever seen! The glaciers, the sky-blue water, the animals, and the snow. Everything was marvelous! If you want to see the glaciers, I recommend you go in 10-20 years.
