This was THE BEST tour ~ one of the highlights of our Alaskan cruise. We would do it again in a heartbeat! More

It was great! We had a wonderful time. Others have described the tour better than I can, so I'll just say we really enjoyed it and it exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Luke, was very entertaining and informative. The Zodiac was peppy, comfortable and I always felt safe with Luke looking out for all of us. We were in... More

My family and I booked the two and a half hour Zodiac tour with Ketchikan Outdoors. It was fantastic. We walked to their storefront, watched the safety video and were suited up in water proof clothing and warm gloves, socks, hats and goggles. There was no doubt that these folks were serious about keeping us safe and dry. After that,... More

Most assuredly, the best way to see Alaska while on a cruise! Ketchikan is a sleepy looking town with a whale of an attraction (and eagles, and salmon, and seals, sea lions, starfish, etc.) – we saw every one of these within a stone’s throw from our personal Zodiac boat. Although most rave about the things they see while up-close... More

This spur-of-the-moment tour was such a good decision. We went on the four hour option and it literally flew by as we piloted our own Zodiac out of Ketchikan and into full-on nature. Whale spouts, eagles swooping down to grab a fish that our guide Luke tossed out, starfish up close, a fabulous snack break at a camp in the... More

We took the two and a half hour tour with Ketchikan Outdoors and loved every minute of it! Sarah and her family and crew do such a wonderful job setting you up very quickly. They provide you with enought warm gear and the chances of getting wet are quite slim. There's a safety video before you leave. We sighted humpback... More

On July 31,2011, we had a great time, driving a jet raft for watching wild lifes in Ketchikan waters. With our guide Hale's super professional ability and patience, we had closely seen all interesting animals, including humpback whale, seals, porpoises, white eagles and many more not even on our list. Beautiful views and lovely creatures, what a fun. So we... More

I lived in Ketchikan for several summers and never got to fully enjoy the scenery. Upon a return visit to Ketchikan, I went on the Ketchikan Outdoors tour and could not be happier that I did! Sarah, Emilie, and Matt helped get us ready for an extraodrdinary day on the ocean where we got to drive our own zodiak boats!... More

My family and I took this excursion form our cruise ship. I have experiece with boats, so this was a dream for me. My wife was a little worried in that it is described as a "strenuous activity. She was also worried about being too cold. She had the best time! You are given plenty of gear to keep warm... More

We took a two and a half hour Zodiak tour and had a blast! Sarah outfitted us to keep dry and warm and we were off on the best adventure we had this year. Luke was our guide and led us to see bald eagles, seals, porpoise and then close encounters with humpback whales. He let us choose what direction... More
