Overview

Your adrenalin will be pumping when you captain a four- or six-passenger Zodiac, a rigid-hulled inflatable boat offering speed and agility. The adventure begins with a tour by van through historic downtown Ketchikan. Look out the windows as your scenic drive travels past totem poles, Saxman Native Village, and the beautiful coastline of the Tongass Narrows to the Beaver Falls Salmon Cannery. Upon arrival, breathe in the fresh air as you walk the mystical rainforest trail to the Zodiac. After a safety briefing, you’ll bundle up in rain gear, rubber boots and a life jacket, step inside the sturdy Zodiac and follow your guide out to the beautiful George Inlet Fjords. Soak up the pristine scenery, and marvel at the rich wildlife. After cruising for 90 minutes, you’ll return to the cannery for snacks and refreshments.

Probably the best tour I’ve ever taken in Ketchikan. This is my third time being here so this would be my third excursion, and this was by far the best so awesome being able to drive your own boat with your people and having the tour guide in front of you talking on walkie-talkies. Got to see so much wildlife miss the whales but we’re very early in the season. all the people that are affiliated with this company just make you feel so at home. They are so friendly, knowledgeable, and warm. Fabulous tour for the young and old.

We decided to do something really fun at one of ports on our trip and boy did we pick the right place and the right people. They pick you up at the port and transport you to the excursion. The road to get there is a true Alaskan road so go ahead and take a Dramamine before you leave the ship if you get car sick. The bus driver talks about the local area like a small tour - he was so friendly. Everything is provided - even tall boots and waterproof pants and jackets - if it’s raining. Helmets are a requirement - duh - They teach you some simple hand signals so you know when to slow down and when to stop. Theres a guide in the back just in case you get too far behind or have issues. You get a great little meal at the end - that is also included. Honestly it was probably some of the best chili I’ve had - they said it’s from a shop in town. But that’s enough of a general review. Here’s a real personal review. We had a small group. The 3 in my group and 2 people from another country - who I am positive got more than they bargained for with us Americans (Floridians) - only 5 total so we had a little more leeway than they usually do. It rained the whole day and it 100% made the trip so much more fun. Chris led the trip and KC followed to make sure everything went as it should. We splashed through giant puddles the entire time. The boots and water gear was so necessary - as were the windshields and windshield wipers lol - we stopped at a look out point and got some fools gold and a gorgeous view. We headed on and crossed a bridge with a picture perfect stream? And saw some super cool carved rocks that marked a tribes fishing area - we headed in to the turn around point and saw a deer and SO many waterfalls up above. Then we decided to go see the lake - it was a quick walk from the path. Turns out it was a little more flooded than the day before and we had to cross a few streams. My aunt decided she didn’t want to go because she didn’t want her shoes to get wet but Chris offered to give her a piggy back ride. Yall. They were SO CLOSE but the wet sand shifted and they went down - Chris face first into the water for a what seemed to be a brief time for me but probably felt like forever for him. Both of them were soaking wet. Everyone else dying laughing. And he couldve crawled under the earth from embarrassment. But this is nothing new to us - this kind of thing happens all the time when we go somewhere - we either take a field trip (get lost) or make a fool of ourselves. After we finally convinced him it was not a big deal. We headed back to the site. We drove straight there - splashing through all the puddles, watching the views fly by, and genuinely having a blast. Got the best reindeer dog and chili and defrosted for a bit before getting back on the shuttle to go back to port. The driver - different than before - took us along a road with the most gorgeous views. He stopped on a bridge and out over the water on a fallen tree was a gorgeous Bald Eagle. We got to take a few pictures and then we were off. I would absolutely recommend this experience. And I’d tell you that you were making the biggest mistake ever if you chose not go because it was raining.

Chris H. was great. Incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Views were breathtaking and many photo ops. We got lucky and had a clear and sunny day in Ketchikan. Bonus for a September outing. I highly recommend.

Chris was an excellent guide! He looks like Mark Ruffalo the actor! Drove the zodiak boats, saw seals and eagles! The scenery was breathtaking! Tried caribou and craft beer. The blueberry beer was delish! This was my favorite excursion in Alaska! Go Bills!
