Trying something new!

Wendy_B, Jun 2026

So much fun and so many scents to choose from. A little over an hour and we had each made a candle with beautiful results. The staff are helpful and gave us tips and tricks along the way. If you’re looking for something different to do and only have a couple of hours to spare, this would definitely be a great choice.

The Best Thing In Ketchikan

amy_c, Jun 2026

This was an incredible experience. It's a small business that they have lovingly created, and it shows in everything they do. The shop was spotless and adorable. Everything from the ceiling paper to the local handmade art and gifts that are available gives off the best kind of vibe. She teaches you not just how to scent match, but which kinds of scents might overpower one another. There are literally carts full of these different scents you can try when you're looking for what you want. She has them grouped by category, and it was extremely easy to find the one's I like most. The most difficult part was having so many options that I couldn't decide! Naturally, this meant I needed to make more than one. Not only did I learn some very cool information about Ketchikan ane candle making, but I ended up with one of a kind stickers, a pair of the most incredible hand-dyed fur earrings, and an enamel pin. I even liked a single scent so much that while I was creating my candles the shop owner was able to hand make me one in just that scent for purchase. I was able to measure out the ingredients, mix them together and pour them myself! They're located so closely to Creek Street that I was able to leave them to set while I went shopping and came back when they were set. The best kind of souvenirs are both useful and come with a good story. Every time I light one of these I will remember the joy of creating something myself, the attentive and kind way the owner treated me, and the beautiful town of Ketchikan. This was the best experience I've done on this trip, and it was ao affordable. I know the next time I visit, I will definitely take the opportunity to take the class again.

Custom candle making

We had a great experience making our candles. After smelling many scents, it was fun to narrow it down to 3 that were put together to make a custom candle. Nice “souvenir “ to bring home from Alaska to Texas.

If I could give this zero...

Stephanie_P, May 2026

If I could give this zero stars I would. We showed up at the place for our 11 am reservation 40 minutes early. The business was not open and no employee ever showed up. We called the shop multiple times and no one answered. We ended up calling Viator customer service at 1115 and canceled the reservation.
