Yes Bay

Nestled amidst the Tongass National Forest, Yes Bay, Alaska is a sight for sore eyes. Take a break from the ship and explore the surrounding wilderness. Hike through lush trails teeming with wildlife, or rent a kayak and paddle across the crystal-clear waters, keeping an eye out for seals and bald eagles. While shopping options might be limited at the port itself, the nearby town of Ketchikan, accessible by ferry or scenic seaplane ride, boasts a treasure trove of local stores. Here, you can snag a handcrafted souvenir from the Ketchikan Totem Heritage Center or indulge in some retail therapy at the lively Creek Street. After a day of exploration, treat yourself to a delicious seafood dinner at the Ketchikan Fish Market, savoring the freshest catches Alaska has to offer. Nightlife in Yes Bay is low-key, but you might find friendly locals to share stories with over a beer at the cozy Yes Bay Lodge.
