Excellent service, knowledge, and a local business! - Local guide that is very knowledgeable, relatable, receptive to guests interests, and an absolute pleasure to be around. I have been Ketchikan numerous times and done quite a few things, but this was top tier. Cannot recommend enough!

Would totally go again! - Favorite excursion we did during our Alaska cruise! Super fun tour on the water driving our own boat and following our awesome guide Ben. Great mix of salty spray and mellow floating learning about southeast Alaska and the wildlife there.

Did this tour twice! - Did this trip twice! Had fun driving my own boat (I drove for half the tour and my friend drove the other half). Toward the end of our tour that morning we saw whales so we decided to stay and go back out on the second tour that day too! Saw an amazing whale show out there with humpback whales feeding a dozen times as they worked their way down the coast. Watching wildlife from your won little boat is so much cooler than riding along on the big whale watching boat! Great guide. Great gear! Everything was new. Thanks guys!

Can't wait to go back and stay at the Resort! - Had a blast driving our own inflatable boat! Such a perfect way to explore the inside passage and get right up next to the shore to check out remote eagles nests and see diving cormorants. I love birds! The Ravens are huge there too and make such cool sounds! The sea lions on the rocks were cute. Saw some humpback whale spouts as well but they were taking really long dives the afternoon we were out there. Will definitely go explore with these guys again the next time I go to Ketchikan. We want to go back and stay at the Salmon Falls Resort. What a beautiful place!

Loved it! - Fun trip. We were nervous at first since we were going to be driving our own boat, but they explained everything very well and the boat was super easy to operate. Following the guide and stopping along the way was a nice mix of adventure and learning about southeast Alaska and the wildlife and history there. Loved watching salmon jumping out of the water everywhere, so funny! All the gear seemed brand new and in great condition. Delicious smoked salmon and Alaskan beer at the resort after was wonderful too. Sure is a beautiful place. Thanks again!

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!
