“Lots of fun, fun for the whole family the captain was great and Vesner was superb as the narrator.....”
A 2.5-hour Ketchikan wildlife and totem-pole tour with salmon viewing, tidepools at Rotary Beach, Herring Cove sightings, and Saxman Village.
“Shane was awesome. He knew everything we asked about, was super fun, and definitely knew his stuff. He knew exactly where to look for the bears, Eagles, and was a really nice guy.”
Ketchikan photo safari with a small group, guided stops at Creek Street and totems, and practical camera and iPhone tips in 3 hours.
“Well executed tour. However, after completing a long yukon alaska multi stop trip we found the sights a bit underwhelming. Ketchikan is very touristy. The guide was very informed and on time and helpful. It was not his fault we found the stops less impressive than we expected. I would not recommend such a tour for the sights if you've just completed a similar land ship cruise.”
Kayak Clover Pass in Ketchikan on a small-group eco-tour, spotting sea lions, humpback whales, eagles, and tidepool critters with snacks included.
“We really enjoyed this trip! We saw lots of bald eagles, beautiful scenery, and at the end we had humpback whales all around us! I would recommend an early time if you want the calmest waters. Really appreciate the guides!”
A smaller Ketchikan boat trip for whales and wildlife with indoor seating, live narration, snacks, and binocular help, plus stopovers like Metlakatla.
“The tour operator changed the time of the tour by an hour. I was never notified of the change. In fact the morning of the tour I received a reminder from Viator of the tour that listed the original tour time. The tour was an hour later. Had the operator moved it to an hour earlier I would have been a no show. We saw very little wildlife and zero whales. I understand that the tour operator can't guarantee whale sightings.”
Hands-on Aleutian Ballad crab tour from Ketchikan. 3 hours in calm Inside Passage, touch live catch, hear Deadliest Catch stories.
“Captain David, Captain Ron, and Big D were the best! Amazing, touching stories, great demonstrations, an all around incredible “salty life” experience!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
