About
Welcome to Ketchikan’s on-of-a kind 4/4.5-hour long Land and Sea tour package. Climb aboard the “Eagle One” our intimate vessel while we embark on a scenic wildlife viewing adventure. Soak in the wonders of Alaska on this excursion. Our crew and drivers will make sure you have every opportunity to capture all Ketchikan has to offer. Make sure your cameras are ready as you keep a lookout for Humpback Whales, Orcas (Killer Whales), Seals, Sea Lions, Eagles and Salmon “Jumpers” while making our way out of town. Also included, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and pre-packaged snacks. Yes, there is a bathroom onboard!!
Starting the ground portion of the tour in our spacious 2 13 passenger vans. We will depart for Herring Cove to view Black Bears foraging for their favorite “Wild Alaskan Salmon” that are returning from the ocean to the Herring Cove creek to spawn. This area always has an abundance of Bald Eagles hunting for salmon as well. After Bear viewing in Herring Cove, we will jump in the van and head for the Saxman Totem Park. The park has the largest collection of standing Totems in the world. The history and craftmanship will delight anyone of all ages. There may be an opportunity to visit the large old Clan House, watch the Native Dancers or take a guided tour around the park.
While on the way back into Ketchikan. We will stop at Creek Street for a short walk on the boardwalk that runs along the creek. Creek Street offers history, charm, and shops that you might get lost in. The creek has a large salmon return in the summer months. You can watch the fish swim up the river to the fish ladder while you make your way along the boardwalk. After we make our way back to the van, we will head north of town to the Totem State Park that showcases more authentic Alaskan carved totems. We could also visit Refuge Cove and walk along the wooded trail that follows the beach if requested by our passengers. We are happy to make the ground tour whatever you would like it to be. You can customize your time so you can experience what you want, like hiking along beaches, lake treks and hitting the local trails.
We try our best to get you to see Whales and Bears that visit our area in the summer months, but we do NOT Guarantee sightings on our tours. We do hope to keep our whale sightings percentage rate at 90%.
Booking Notes
This tour will operate in most weather conditions.
Our tours regularly encounter amazing marine life, and we’re proud to have about a 90% success rate for humpback whale sightings—a number we work hard to maintain! That said, wildlife is always on its own schedule, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. Every trip is a unique experience, and refunds are not provided if wildlife is not seen.
##Please arrive 30 minutes before your tour start time to check in. We'll be waiting for you inside the Berth 2 Visitors Center at Booth #16 (address: 131 Front Street, Ketchikan AK).
##Please Note: If your cruise ship is docking at Ward Cove, please allow extra time to reach our check-in location. Ships at Ward Cove provide a free shuttle into downtown Ketchikan, which takes about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and unloading. Once you arrive downtown, it is an additional 7–10-minute walk to our check-in booth. Because of this, we recommend planning to leave your ship at least 1 hour before your scheduled tour so you can arrive for check-in 30 minutes prior to departure.
Cancellation Policy
No refunds will be made on cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to tour departure. If we cancel due to weather, there will be given a full refund.
