These tours run in 2 high top transit vans with water and small snacks available. Our guides are very knowledgeable about the area will answer questions during tours and at each stop. We pick up at Ward Cove 30 minutes prior to tour time and Downtown at tour time. First stop is Rotary Beach this stop gives great scenery with small sea creatures. (Sea stars, small crab, Small Fish) This beach is rocky flat shoes are best. Next is Herring cove this is the best spot to find Black Bear, Eagle, Harbor seal, and Salmon. Last is the South end Waterfall this does have a small inclined hill of about 5 feet. (The waterfall is visible from the van) We do not guarantee Wildlife. The best time for wildlife is mid June-end September. Also provided for those rainy days rain ponchos. Guarantee back to ships on time.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Alaska Wildlife Waterfall Tours?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tours, but they are generally more suitable for kids ages 8 and up. The rocky beach and the small hill at the last stop might be challenging for younger children. Just make sure they can walk well on uneven surfaces. Safety is a priority, especially near wildlife!

Q: What should we wear for the Alaska Wildlife Waterfall Tours?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking on rocky surfaces, especially at Rotary Beach. I recommend bringing layers because it can get chilly near the water, even in summer. If there's rain in the forecast, the provided ponchos are super handy! Just be ready for some adventure!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is bad, the guides will usually reach out to you to discuss the options. They try to be flexible, and if you can’t make it, they’ll help you reschedule for another day. Just keep an eye on the forecast and plan accordingly!

Just did the Alaska Wildlife Waterfall Tour and it was AMAZING!

I went on this tour last week and wow, the views at Herring Cove were stunning! We saw a black bear from the van, which was such a thrill. The snacks were a nice touch too, perfect for snacking while enjoying the scenery. I recommend wearing sturdy shoes for Rotary Beach. Totally worth it if you’re in Ketchikan!
