Muumuu Posted February 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Is one port better for shopping for gifts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted February 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2018 While there are shopping opportunities in all of the ports, Ketchikan has not only stores such as Diamonds International, but interesting and funky shops along Creek Street. And Ketchikan also has the Tongass Trading Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCrewBear Posted February 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Since I've done it before, in the ports other than Ketchikan I will only buy something very unique and special that I run across. If I need to "stock up" on things for friends or relatives at home, Ketchikan is the place. Tongass Trading is *HUGE* and has about anything you might want. Their prices aren't bad either.

AKStafford Posted February 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Be careful about what you buy. If want an authentic Alaskan made item, look for the official "Made In Alaska" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstrong Posted February 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Ditto for tongass in Ketchikan. Best prices you will find in Alaska. Look for their coupon books as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted February 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Tongass Trading Company has two levels, Tourist stuff on the ground floor and upstairs with outfitting stuff for locals. Ulu knives without the Alaska logo are much cheaper upstairs. Tongass Trading Company is at the left of image below and adjacent to the pier: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I would look at all the ports. If you wait you might realize you don't like what you see in a specific port. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
