Overview
Hop aboard your own zodiac boats for a guided excursion on the Pacific Ocean in Alaska’s Inside Passage! Take turns driving (21+) or hang on and enjoy the ride. There are many tours here that allow you to just ride along, this isn’t one of them. Small groups of up to 3 zodiacs follow a guide boat along the dense coastal islands of Southeast Alaska in search of bald eagles nests, resident seals and sea lions, an immense array of inter tidal creatures and everyone’s favorite, humpback whales and sometimes Orca too!
Learn about the history of Ketchikan at Creek Street, view the Saxman Totem Poles and Native Long House from the water, venture out into Nichols Passage in search of marine mammals and ocean going adventure!
Great waterproof gear provided from head to toe.
Let's Go!
We’re only interested in experiences where you can take control and do the piloting, paddling or peddling. There are many Ketchikan boat tours that allow you to just ride along, this isn’t one of them! Small groups of up to 3 zodiac boats follow a guide boat along the vibrant coastline and islands around Ketchikan, Alaska. Your guide will introduce you to a bald eagles nest, and explore the vibrant intertidal creatures and flora of the rocky coastline.
Although summer is the dryer season, you’re exploring the Tongass National Forest, it’s the second largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon, so we do get our fair share of rain. We have you covered though!
Waterproof bibs, jackets, gloves and boots are provided for the ride.
Launching from our downtown dock is super convenient and means no sitting in a van during your short port call in Ketchikan, get out exploring quick! (Other zodiac tours in Ketchikan can have you sitting in van almost an hour roundtrip).
Most tours stop at scenic Creek Street and learn about the history of Ketchikan. Most tours also stop at Totem Row and view the totem poles and native long house from the water. You'll raft up with the guide boat 3 - 6 times during the tour to watch wildlife and interact with your guide but you'll spend quite a bit of time cruising, exploring the coast, looking for whale spouts and enjoying zipping around with our new Yamaha outboards. That's why you book an ocean going zodiac tour after all!
