Embark on a 4-hour guided kayak adventure to Clover Pass, spending approximately 2 to 2.5 hours actually kayaking. We offer flexible scheduling that will accommodate almost every cruise ship timetable. This magnificent water passage, surrounded by numerous rainforest islands, is located around 15 miles north of the city. Your guides will ensure you experience areas less frequented by crowds and often with superior weather conditions. You will be exploring 3 picturesque islands where the lush rainforest meets the ocean. Clover Pass is part of the Tongass National Forest, the largest of its kind in the U.S. On most trips, you’ll encounter the local Steller sea lions, seals, bald eagles, various bird species, and a wealth of intertidal creatures. Occasionally, humpback whales, orcas, porpoises and leaping salmon might cross your path. On rare occasions, you may even spot Sitka deer or black bears near the beach.

Although we cannot promise specific wildlife sightings, Clover Pass is unrivaled for wildlife encounters near Ketchikan. Furthermore, our microclimate, located north of the city, frequently offers drier weather and smoother water conditions compared to the city center.
