It’s really good value for the show. The competition is fun , dynamic and it feels easy to follow. I did like that there is food inside for a fee and they even give you a special promo for the buffet. The competitors are really fun to watch .
Really fun show. The lumberjacks were very skilled and funny too. The line was long but moved quite well
The experience was fantastic! However, Viator charged additional $30 more per ticket than what Princess Cruises was offering for the same show. I didn’t find out until less than 24 hours before the event, at which point, I could not obtain a refund. This was one instance Viator was 30% more expensive than purchasing directly from our cruise.
It was cheesy and dumb fun!! Very lighthearted, very interactive, and an enjoyable family experience.
My young grandchildren loved it and I loved seeing the joy on their faces!
They said it was one of the best thing they did on the trip.
The city is super cute. Lots of shopping and cute lil shops. The lumberjack show is probably the highlight of the city so it’s a must do. And most conveniently located right next to where ship docks.
This was a fun non excursion experience in Ketchikan. The show was impressive as the tasks done look very difficult. There was lots of audience participation and great jokes along the way. I thought the price was a bit high, but still an overall good and fun experience. The lumberjacks are very talented and the host Lasagna Joe was charismatic and funny. It doesn’t hurt that the lumberjacks are cute too. This is a family friendly restaurant experience that I do recommend. Fun.
Show goes rain or shine. Audience is under covered bleachers. Good hot dogs. Very friendly cast and crew. These are indeed athletes. We enjoyed the show.
The Great American Lumberjack was awesome. After we were unable to locate the tour guide, the staff was very helpful to make sure we were able to see the show and also go to the George Inlet Crab Feast. A big shout out to Rebecca at the Lumberjack show. It was fantastic!
My poor rating is for Viator and their inability to fulfill the contract. I paid ahead of time and was told that a voucher with pick up time would be emailed and I never received an one stating what time or whom to meet at the port location. I have been told by Viator that according to the company who know one was able to get a hold of on the day of the shore excursion. Very disappointing.
The Lumberjack Show is so much fun! Make sure to bundle up for the early show! The guys make it so much fun. Fun for all ages! The trolley ride is nice. You get to see a lot without walking forever! Cole, our driver was very informative and very nice.
