We went on tours in every port...a "whale watching" longggg boat ride in Juneau that showed a few split second glimpses of a whale back, very far away, then in Skagway a very longggg train ride that had a few interesting facts, but mostly woods and snow. While they were nice tours they did not show us the Alaska my... More

An Excellent morning spent on the water, definitely worth taking! The staff provide you with everything you need to keep you warm and dry, they ensure safety with equipment, video and instruction. Being able to have a zodiac for just the two of us was so nice! The tour itself was excellent, it was both scenic and informative. We returned... More

Ash was a great guide. We learned so much about Ketchikan. Even though it rained all the gear they gave us kept us dry and warm. Highly recommend these friendly people!

First - I'm a local, I live in Ketchikan. All last summer I watched the zodiac boats go by and it looked like fun. So yesterday I took my whole family (2 adults, 2 kids ages 9 and 11) to Ketchikan Outdoors for a little bit of fun. This was an amazing adventure. They provide all of the gear -... More

Loved this tour. We were on a Holland Cruise ship that does not offer this excursion but found it by looking through trip advisor. My friend and I had a blast. The owner came and picked us up on his speed boat and took us to their building. Once dressed in waterproof clothing we boarded a Zodiac with one other... More

Had a blast. Cold and wet as hell but just as they advertised. You don;t go to Alaska for the nice weather. We wanted the full blown Alaska and we got it. Took my wife and 3 kids ages 8 to 13 years and took off in our boat. Wife got stuck with guy who could not drive a boat... More

We loved this tour because it allowed us to have an upclose look at the natural beauty of Ketchican. We saw eagles, seals, & best of all humpback whales. Our guide was very interesting because he was raised in this area and was very familiar with the local wildlife. We loved his enthusiasm and his willingness to be flexible based... More

My husband & I visited Ketchikan in August on a Princess cruise to Alaska. This particular excursion was great! We showed up early in the morning and were outfitted in what appeared to be an enormous amount of protective clothing....later realizing how very important this step was!! We had a beautiful day, sunny & quite mild. However, after spending several... More

The tour was very good. Felt safe and qualified to operate the kodiaks after a few minutes... Would have been nice to see more wildlife. The only negative was not able to hear the guide at times. Would recommend!

If you are in Ketchikan you must make time for this experience. This was the best excursion we had during our Alaskan cruise. This was the first time we have ever received a free copy of our photo taken by the excursion operator. Everyone was so friendly and thorough. The inflatable motor boat was a blast to operate and our... More
