The Top 20 Recreation Tours in Ketchikan

Ketchikan recreation tours cover a huge number of activities, from offroading to ziplining, and from biking to fishing. Because there are so many incredible places to see, activities to enjoy, and animals to spot near Ketchikan, the difficulty will be picking just one activity to try! Take a sneak peek at some of our favorite recreation excursions and see which one appeals to you most. 

The Mahoney Lake UTV Offroad Safari offers a fantastic full-throttle day of offroading. From boarding your ATV to sampling a snack of reindeer sausage on your return, this tour will be a ten-out-of-ten for fun! Explore the trails that weave through the mountainous terrain of the George Inlet Fjords and Tongass National Forest, whizzing past lakes and waterfalls - some of the most spectacular scenery you’ll have ever seen!

Perhaps you’d rather try your hand at the thrilling Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Expedition. Take in spectacular views as you fly down endless speedy ziplines crisscrossing between treetop platforms. Keep your nerve as you traverse the aerial skybridge - snapping photos along the way if you dare!

On the Alaska Fishing: Cook your Catch excursion, you’ll learn all the tricks of saltwater fishing from local fishermen before trying your hand at this quintessentially Alaskan activity. Take your catch of the day ashore to a pretty beach where it’ll be cooked up and enjoyed by an atmospheric campfire. 

This gives you a little taster of the kind of activities you can enjoy on a Ketchikan recreation tour. There are plenty more below - take a look at them all and choose your favorite!
