Nils Utterback arrived in Ketchikan, Alaska over 31 years ago and has worked as a sailor, deck hand, cab driver and fisherman. Nils started his tour company sixteen years ago with one van, a friendly smile and lots of enthusiasm. Now he has a fleet of buses and vans to provide you with the best possible professional tour Ketchikan Alaska has to offer. For the short time that visitors have to view the sights, Northern Tours of Alaska is the company to choose. Through hard work and experience Northern Tours is now the leading independent tour company on the dock. Expansion has also brought employment to local talented employees.

His love of the great outdoors and the open ocean led him to The Alaska Ferry System where he met the love of his life, Diane. They work together to bring you the best Alaskan adventure possible in Ketchikan. They live in Ketchikan year-round with Sadie, their 9 year old Shepard/Husky mix, and Lily, their 6 year old cat.
