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.

Q&A

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather is bad! Just reach out to Ketchikan Kayak Company, and they’ll help you find another date that works. They’re pretty flexible, so don't worry too much about it. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy, just in case.

Q: What should we wear for the Zodiac tour? Is it cold out there?

A: Dress in layers! Even in summer, it can get chilly on the water. The tour provides waterproof gear, but I recommend wearing thermal layers and maybe a hat. Also, bring sunglasses because the glare off the water can be intense. You'll appreciate being prepared!

Q: Is this experience good for kids? What’s the age limit?

A: The Zodiac adventure is recommended for ages 12 and up, mainly because it's fast-paced and requires a bit of coordination. Younger kids might find it tough. But if you have teens or older kids, they'll have a blast zipping around and spotting wildlife. Just keep in mind that drivers have to be at least 21.

Thinking about the Ketchikan Zodiac Boat Adventure for my boyfriend's birthday!

I’m really considering booking the Zodiac adventure for my boyfriend’s birthday next month. We’ll be in Ketchikan, and the idea of zipping around the Inside Passage sounds amazing! I’ve heard they sometimes see whales and seals, which would be so cool. Is it as awesome as it sounds? Anyone done it recently?

Anyone know the best time to go on the Zodiac tour?

Hey everyone! I’m looking at the Ketchikan Zodiac Boat Adventure for our trip next month but not sure what’s the best time of year to go. I’ve read summer’s nice, but does anyone have tips on timing? I wanna see as much wildlife as possible!
