Ketchikan Sightseeing Tours

Experience the Natural Beauty of Southeast Alaska

Ketchikan, Alaska offers some of the most incredible scenery you'll find anywhere. Towering, forest-covered mountains rise straight out of the ocean, creating a rugged coastline shaped by the Inside Passage and its rich marine environment.

This unique landscape supports an abundance of wildlife, and getting out on the water is the best way to experience it. Along the shoreline, it's common to see black bears turning over rocks for crab, feeding on shellfish, or grazing in the lush coastal grass. During salmon runs, bear activity picks up as they move into nearby streams to fish.

Sitka black-tailed deer, native to Southeast Alaska, are often seen along beaches and forest edges. They feed on fresh grass, kelp, and seaweed while taking in minerals from the shoreline.

Wildlife & Marine Life

Bald eagles line the coast in tall trees, scanning the water for baitfish. It's not uncommon to watch one swoop down and grab a fish straight from the ocean, and during salmon season, they're constantly active along the shoreline.

Our waters are also home to seals and sea lions, often seen swimming near the boat or relaxing on rocky outcroppings. In the right season, you may also encounter humpback whales or orcas moving through the Inside Passage following baitfish and salmon.

If you're looking for a private sightseeing tour, we can customize the trip to match what you want to see and do. Whether it's wildlife viewing, scenic cruising, or simply getting out on the water, we'll make it happen.
