Ketchikan Zodiac Adventure | Same Day

Excursion Overview

Join us for a spectacular Zodiac trip!

Explore part of Alaska's Inside Passage leaving from the dock of Ketchikan on this exciting Zodiac excursion.

This is an adventure and eco-tour for the spirited traveler! Rain, gusty winds, boat spray, and bumpy rides are very common. You are likely to see marine life, migratory waterfowl, and Alaskan birds of prey. Majestic whales and bears have also been seen from our rafts.

"Zodiac" is the term used for all inflatable watercraft. They are exceptional heavy-duty boats built to be safe in rough conditions. These boats have proven to be the most agile and unique platform to carry small groups of people into a powerful and rare life experience on the last frontier.

Each boat carries 4 people and one passenger (21 years of age or older) will pilot the zodiac craft while following a trained guide in their own zodiac. Every trip begins with a shuttle from the Ketchikan cruise ship dock directly to our outpost. You will also be provided with gear, flotation devices, and safety instructions.
