Excursion Overview

Paddle the protected waterways of the Clover Pass

From downtown Ketchikan, take a trip north to the Clover Pass Resort. Here you will experience a much quieter, local vibe and even the weather seems to typically be much nicer. Our guides will paddle along with you as you travel through the protected ocean waterways of Clover Pass. This route will have you circumnavigating 2 to 3 small islands that feature an immense array of inter-tidal life, a bald eagles nest, and resident sea lions and seals. There is also a potential to encounter many types of migratory birds, Sitka deer, Pacific porpoises, humpback whales and even Orcas as well!

With a maximum of 6 guests per guide, our kayak tour is a special experience that is both intimate and educational. With such small groups on each tour, we are able to provide the benefit to our guests of spending more time paddling on the water than other water tours and have no desire to make our guests feel rushed throughout any portion of the experience.

The truly unique aspect that sets our tours apart is our terrific team of guides. The crew we have features mainly local guides who have experience working in various industries throughout the winter.

Guides were knowledgeable and beyond friendly. We met the owner of the company and he was a great person and good to talk to. Dips and hummus served at the end of our tour was phenomenal. Overall a very wonderful experience. And it was even raining the whole time!

Rough water and rainy, but the guides were excellent getting us to calmer waters and close to wildlife. Whales, sea lions, seals, salmon, and eagles...great day!!
