Whale watching from our own boat! - Whale watching from our own boat! We had such a good time with our guide Ben. He was funny and informative and patient with some of the people who needed a little couching on how to drive their own boat. The boats were great, pretty much brand new! It was so nice to get away from the crowds in town. I think there were 6 cruise ships downtown when we were there! Zipping around following the guide was so fun and seeing the bald eagles in the nest was great, but sitting quietly watching a pod of 3 humpback whales feeding and swimming right past us was amazing! The resort setting with snacks and drinks provided was a delicious bonus! Thanks so much to Devon and his crew for making our weekend in Ketchikan so fun!

So much fun! - So much fun! Had a great time zipping around on the ocean driving my own boat. Following the guide made it super easy to navigate the waters near the coast without worry and he knew where all the best spots were to see wildlife nearby. All the gear is new and clean and I really appreciated the drybag so I could bring my camera. Nice to get away from town to as their were 6 cruise ships in port when I was there. Salmon Falls Resort is really pretty!

What a great tour! Better weather than downtown. - What a great tour! Our seaplane tour was cancelled because the weather downtown Ketchikan was so windy and rainy. Luckily we found the Ketchikan Kayak Company booth in the Visitors Bureau building and decided to take their new zodiac fast boat tour. They took us out of town to Clover Pass where the weather was so much better! The rain gear and the boats were all brand new and the tour only had 8 people on it. We got to take turns driving our own zodiac boat on the Pacific ocean and saw humpback whales, sea lions, sea stars and a bald eagles nest with two eagles sitting inside! The complimentary Alaskan beers and smoked salmon after getting back were delicious and our guide Ben was so great! Can't thank this crew enough for saving our afternoon in Ketchikan during our cruise stop. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - We had a great time with Stan. Each boat had a max of 4 people but we lucked out and got our own boat with just the 2 of us (just based on how many people had booked that day). My husband loved driving the boat and they let us zoom around as long as we stayed near the group. We also saw seals and eagles while we were boating around!

Fantastic memorable experience - We got to drive our own boat to explore the waterways and wildlife of Ketchikan. It was a sense of freedom to follow Ben in our boat to see sites you would not see from land. We saw bald eagles and harbour seals. Ben and Chris are very knowledgeable,caring and gave us a memorable experience

Great time! - So much fun! You may want a little experience with a boat like this so you can keep up but you can figure it out as you go. We saw seals and eagles and our guide Ben was great!

Ketchikan high speed boats - My family and I had an amazing experience on this excursion. Ben was a great tour guide- extremely knowledgeable with a great demeanor! He made it a lot of fun! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful water body to boat in and surroundings that were surreal. Thank you!
