Highly recommend this... - Highly recommend this experience! Crew was very nice and accommodating! They offered pick up at ward cove and downtown Ketchikan. After pickup we went by car to Salmon Falls and then on to the zodiac for an excellent ride on the zodiac. Our tour guide Teddy was phenomenal. The zodiac boats were in great condition and easy to drive/maneuver. After the experience we got treated to beer and snacks. Everyone was very cognizant of our ship departure time to ensure we made it back to the ship on time. We were then dropped off directly at our ship dock. Would highly recommend again!

Four tours more doors - Amazing logistics and customer service by this company. We did all 4 tours and I enjoyed the fast boat the best, however any of the tours they offer will simply impress.

A must-do experience - Seriously, one of the best experiences! Upgraded our tour at no cost due to an issue with launch site. Teddy was a great driver/host and Danyel was an awesome boat guide. Both are extremely knowledgeable and share lots of information about Ketchikan and the island. We drove our own small Kodiak, which was tons of fun! Danyel pointed out all kinds of wildlife including sea lions, harbor seals and eagles! She brought along herring and tossed out for the eagles, who flew right over head to grab the snacks! Was so peaceful and yet exciting and energizing at the same time! Highly recommend!

Fun driving your own Zodiac - Danielle was a great tour guide. One of the biggest highlights from our trip is when she fed the bald eagles right in front of the boats. She was an excellent teacher and navigator. She also had some great knowledge of the wildlife and region. The boats are really fun to drive. We saw lots of bald eagles and some harbor seals. Sounds like whales are pretty rare in July and more common in June. We only had 2 people on our boat and the other boat had 4 people.

Great time on the water in the zodiac fast boats! - The meeting point, pickup location can be more specific, rather than just cruise ship docks, adding “Berth 3” to the location would have been helpful. A quick message on the app and we received that clarification, as our ship arrived at berth 1. The zodiac boat ride experience was fantastic in a very beautiful portion of the ocean in Ketchikan. We saw bald eagles, seals, sea lions, and whales, all while zipping around the islands in our fast boats. The group size was just right, and Andy was a great tour leader. The refreshments at the end were a nice finishing touch. We had a blast.
