Are you ready to be an Alaskan Boatman in your own rigid-hulled inflatable (RIB) boat? Bring along your first mate and be the captain for a part of this three-hour guided Ketchikan Boating Alaska Cruise Excursion.

Your Zodiac Shore Excursion guide will meet you at the cruise pier in Ketchikan and drive you approximately 25 minutes to the boat excursion basin located outside of town along the scenic coast. Here, you will meet your boating shore excursion guides who will get you geared up. You will then receive a safety orientation before boarding your 14-foot zodiac. Your boat is fully customized and equipped with console steering, it seats four and has a maximum speed of 25 knots.

Departing the dock, you will follow the excursion guide in your fast boat through the Alaskan rainforest islands keeping an eye out for wildlife: whales, seals, eagles, sea lions, and bears. As you bounce across the waves with the occasional spray in your face, you will have incredible opportunities to see the beautiful Alaskan scenery up close.

During your cruise, you will motor onto a beach, where you will take a break complete with a hot drink and a snack. If you want, for the return hand the helm over to another boatman.

You will pass rocky islands where humpback whales and orca are known to surface when in season. Tides permitting, you will go deep into bays and inlets where salmon spawning streams attract black bears along their shores looking for a seafood meal. This is a boating adventure excursion for the spirited traveler with an opportunity to drive your own boat among the islands north of Ketchikan. The total time with the boats is approximately 90 minutes including the stop.

Returning to the dock, you will have approximately 20 minutes to sit down, use the facilities or check out the small shop. You will then transfer 25 minutes back to Ketchikan and the cruise pier.

Please note: You may get cold out on the water, dress accordingly. You may get wet. Wildlife sightings are not a guarantee, but you will see beautiful sights and be exhilarated by the speed of this zippy and fun "4x4 of the sea"!

It was exhilarating sensation going full speed across the chilly waters with so much nature around you. Of course you cant help to stop and glance around. The highlight of of our trip was when we saw a pod of humpback whales!!! We were told by our guide Kevin that it is the season when they are migrating back to Alaska and that if we were lucky we would see one but we saw 5 including 1 calf! It was a beautiful image.

I've been to Alaska before but this is by far the closest to a real Alaskan experience, we knew that wildlife sightseeing weren't guaranteed but we were lucky enough to see a few black bears. Second time booking through this website, We will certainly do it a 3rd time.
