Fun show and greatly skilled lumberjacks

Lupe_R, Sep 2025

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....

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.

Great time at the Lumberjack 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!

Not the Lumberjack Show

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.

Excellent!

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.
