Excursion Self drive zodiac adventure tour at Ketchikan

Experience the rugged natural beauty of Alaska in a unique new way during this unforgettable, half-day RIB-boat excursion.

Depart the pier for the approximately 30-minute group transfer to your awaiting, 14-foot (4.2-metre) Zodiac rigid inflatable boat (RIB). Upon arrival, receive your safety instructions and begin your guided sightseeing excursion through the pristine rainforest islands north of Ketchikan. Along the way, take in panoramic vistas of your surroundings, and look for whales, seals, eagles, sea lions, bears, seabirds, and other wildlife that inhabit this region.

During your picturesque excursion, a stop is made at an area beach or estuary for a hot beverage and a snack. On the return ride, hand over the helm to another boatman, and pass by rock islands where humpback whales and orcas frequently surface. When in season, ride deep into bays and inlets where salmon spawning streams attract black bears. At the conclusion of your journey, re-board the group transportation for the approximately 30-minute drive back to the pier.
