Overview
For many, Alaska is a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and so is this. You’ll start on the water in a heated vessel, cruising for sneak peeks at whales, eagles, and seals. You’ll land in a remote corner of the Tongass National Forest, where a boardwalk floats you above the mossy floor. When you’re finished exploring, you'll head to the onsite lodge for an Alaskan seafood boil, all your senses in extravaganza mode.
- Float through Alaska's maze-like inlets, your captain pointing out wildlife, including whales
- Step foot into the Tongass National Forest, the largest in the U.S.
- Taste fresh Dungeness crab, Alaskan shrimp, clams, and more local specialties
- Easy meetup with your captain at Ward Cove or downtown Ketchikan

It was a very nice trip, easy and enjoyable. We had one whale sighting (saw the tail, haha) and almost guaranteed you’ll get a close up of eagles. Nature walk was nice, all on boarded planks so wheelchair accessible. Not for someone looking for a vigorous hike but very pretty. Food was yummy!

The staff were all very friendly. Gus, our driver, was very engaged. Even though there was an accident involving one of the other busses, they ensured we were able to complete our full excursion and got us back to our cruise ship in plenty of time. Bridger, the guide, dropped several tidbits of information. The seafood boil lunch at the Silver King Lodge was tasty and SO filling. The walking tour of the Frank Hendershot Memorial Trail was stunning. So glad we were able to enjoy that. We also spotted some seals on our back tour before we got back to the docks, which is apparently a rare encounter.

From the moment that Candi agreed to accommodate me when I needed to change my tour time, in order to get my flight, I knew that I was in great company! She and her cute dog drove out of their way to pick me up because there would be no bus available for my new time. When I arrived at the tour site, I was treated like a dear friend. They were so hospitable as we waited for the tour to start.
Speaking of the tour, Justin was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable, funny, energetic and personable! I don't know how he did it but he made everyone feel equally important. As we traveled by boat out to the Silver Lodge, he gave us great information about the sites as we passed them. He pointed out an eagle's nest; talked about the submarine testing site as we passed by; and pointed out a crowd of seals! Captain Sonny was very accommodating as he slowed down and sped up in perfect harmony with Justin's monologs.
We walked an easy hike through the Lodge backwoods, on a wooden boardwalk. Then, oh my, that seafood! It was fantastic!
On the way back to our start, we saw a seal eating fish near the dock! That was a bonus moment to end with!!

Thank you, Marilyn! You ARE a dear friend - it was wonderful getting to know you and spend a little time with you. We wish you nothing but FUN on all your journeys to come and hope that our paths cross again one day!
All the best from Shauna and the entire Adventure Ketchikan team

Changed our scheduled time to an earlier time to close to our ship arrival for us to make it on time. Even though we called and notified tour we might be late we were left behind after being told they would wait. We were only 10 minutes late and called several times letting them know our status in getting to shore.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
I'm so sorry you were unable to get to the meeting location in time for the departure. We did delay the other 44 guests as long as possible but it is imperative that we stay on schedule and a delay of just 15 minutes can cause some guests to miss their all aboard time post tour. We must consider all guests in every scenario, as I'm sure you can understand.
While we do appreciate your disappointment in not being able to get to the tour, it is unfortunate that you have chosen to review us when you did not actually experience the tour. Also, your money was refunded in full immediately.
Hopefully you were able to do something enjoyable during your day in Ketchikan as there are so many choices in our beautiful little town.
All the best

We lucked out and had the greatest weather. Saw eagles flying off their nests to catch fish, seals, and almost a whale. The seafood fest was great finish. Our guide Rainy did a wonderful job.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you so much for sharing these kind words. I've sent it along to Rainy - and I know she will appreciate it. We hope the rest of your cruise is just as great!
All the best

The food was excellent. And a good amount.
All around a great excursion.
