Overview

Board your inflatable zodiac boats right in downtown Ketchikan! See Ketchikan from the water and avoid the crowds. Follow your guide and explore the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska. Most tours take in views of Historic Creek Street, the Totem Poles at Saxman Native Village, and cruise the Tongass Narrows searching for bald eagles, seals and sea lions and often humpback whales or sometimes pods of Orca!

We've got you covered with all new gear! This excursion starts out by getting you outfitted in Bibs, Jackets, Boots, Gloves & Dry Bags provided for the adventure. Then we load up and run through a safety talk before launching out on the protected Pacific waterways.

This is a self driving excursion on the water. Up to 4 guests may be in each vessel. If you are a couple you may be paired with another couple on the tour. We provide the opportunity for our groups to have up to 2 guests per boat to have time to drive on the tour if desired. Must be 21+ to drive.

After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the shelter at Cruise Berth 3. The green roof shelter is on the dock next to the "Visitors Information - Restrooms" building and Sockeye Sam's Store. (NOTE: this is not the berth 2 Visitors Center). The walk is approximately 2-6 minutes depending on which pier you are docked. Our driver will be present 15 minutes before all departures holding a YELLOW SIGN that says "KETCHIKAN ZODIAC ADVENTURE." If you are docking outside of downtown at Ward Cove the shuttle buses will drop you off at cruise berth 4. It's about a 6 minute walk from berth 4 to berth 3.
