The Top 10 Boat Tours in Ketchikan

A Ketchikan boat tour is an exciting way to discover this special part of Alaska! Whether you’re interested in sightseeing, wildlife spotting, or fishing, we have an adventure that will suit you and your family. Ketchikan is located on an island - in fact, this whole region of Alaska is made up of islands both large and small. So, it’s no surprise that boating is the ideal way to explore, especially as many islands aren’t accessible by roads. Check out our boat excursions and you’ll see what a variety of experiences we offer. 

You’ll struggle to find a higher-rated excursion in Ketchikan than the Bering Sea Fishermen’s Tour. Join the Aleutian Ballad fishing vessel on an epic journey where you’ll learn about the life of Alaskan fishermen, hearing tales of adventure on the high seas. Watch as fishermen haul in crab pots full to bursting with all kinds of ocean goodies - prawns, halibut, octopus, and those prized Alaskan crabs. Hold various ocean creatures in the holding tanks, or simply take a seat and soak in those incredible views. 

If you want a little bit of adrenaline and a lot of nature, then the Rainforest Island Adventure could be ideal. Begin onboard an inflatable Seahawk boat with a fun ride along the coastline of Clover Pass, spotting all kinds of animals en route - whales, porpoises, sea lions, and harbor seals - you name it, you’ll probably see it here! Then, on arrival at Bretton Island, you’ll enjoy a guided nature walk, taking in a scenic portion of the Tongass National Forest before finishing up with a picnic on a beautiful, remote beach.
