Ketchikan Zodiac Boat Adventure

About this activity

Launch from our downtown Ketchikan dock aboard your own Zodiac Boat, just a couple minutes away from the cruise docks.

Follow your guide and explore the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska. Most tours take in views of Historic Creek Street, the Totem Poles at Saxman Native Village, and cruise the Tongass Narrows searching for bald eagles, seals and sea lions and often humpback whales and sometimes migrating pods of Orca!

Enjoy zipping across the water with the salty breeze on your face. Every tour pace and route varies, but most tours stop and raft up with the guide boat 3 or 4 times during the tour.

Waterproof Bibs, Jackets, Boots, Gloves & Dry Bags provided for the adventure.

This is a guided, self driving excursion on the water. Up to 4 guests may be in each vessel. If you are a couple you may be paired with another couple on the tour. We provide the opportunity for our groups to have up to 2 guests per boat to have time to drive on the tour if desired. Must be 21+ to drive.
