Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nos bateaux sont amarrés à Ward Cove, qui était autrefois le site de la plus grande usine de pâte aux États-Unis. Les vestiges de l'ancienne usine de pâte à papier peuvent être vus à l'arrivée à notre quai, ainsi que de l'eau. Vous en apprendrez plus sur les industries qui ont autrefois alimenté le Ketchikan alors que nous quittons notre quai et que nous nous dirigeons vers des eaux plus sauvages.
Admirez la magnifique maison du clan natif de l'Alaska et les mâts totémiques depuis l'eau. Nos guides vous raconteront la légende de l'un des pôles et discuteront des cultures indigènes vibrantes de l'Alaska de Ketchikan.
Au cours de la première partie de notre voyage, vous verrez de nombreuses maisons locales parsemant notre littoral, certaines d'entre elles même sur leur propre île! Nous vous parlerons du mode de vie unique de vivre à distance en Alaska.
Admirez le phare historique de Guard Island depuis l'eau, avec une vue panoramique sur le paysage marin au-delà. Notre capitaine discutera de son architecture unique et partagera avec vous une partie de son histoire.
Admirez la plus grande forêt pluviale tempérée du monde depuis l'eau. Nous naviguons le long du littoral sauvage de nos îles éloignées, qui sont densément peuplées d'épinettes de Sitka, de pruche de l'Ouest, de cèdre rouge et jaune et d'aulne rouge. Vous aurez de nombreuses occasions d'observer la beauté de la forêt depuis notre bateau d'excursion!

Our trip was fabulous, lots to see and the snack was delicious.
Captain Tom and his crew were great very accommodating and kind. They made sure we all saw the eagles and totem poles and gave a very detailed tour. My brother is deaf and they even have a binder with all the information they share printed out. The snacks were great too, the Salmon spread dip was yummy. Thank you for such a good experience. Holly
The entire experience, from start to finish, was wonderful! The scenery was breathtaking! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. A very enjoyable and relaxing experience.
I had paid for myself and two friends to take this excursion. I question why do they allow children under the age of 5 years old screaming for two hours. Not only was this kid screaming but throwing dirty napkins over to our table. This kid was out of control. You could not hear a word about the history, nature or the total excursion. Two hours total screaming. They served nice little nibles of smoked salmon and a pate. When we got back to our cruise ship we all were vomitting and the other issue. THIS WAS TERRIBLE Most important this kid was not wearing a life vest
Thank you for taking the time to write about your time on board, and for sharing what you did in fact enjoy about the trip even though your overall experience was negative. We're quite proud of our locally-sourced, on-board snack. I am disappointed that you were unable to hear the narration due to the screaming child, and I understand how frustrating that would be. Our captains put a lot of effort and passion into their narratives. We provide a family-friendly experience that offers something to enjoy for the youngest, first-time traveler up to the well-traveled, centenarian guest, and we do not intend to change that going forward. As the father of a 1-1/2 year-old myself, I understand how difficult travel can be for a young one. A disrupted schedule, a skipped nap, a rushed meal and a lot of stimulation can make for a tough experience for little ones. However, we welcome young children aboard every day and find that the vast majority of them are well-behaved, engaged and attentive. In this regard, I do feel this review was less a review of our business and more a review of the parenting-style of the guests you shared the tour with. That said, I will follow-up with my crew about diplomatic ways to help curb the level of disruption on board the tour. Finally, regarding the life vest, we have Type I USCG-approved child life vests stowed in clearly marked locations throughout the vessel. There is no requirement for children to wear life vests at all times because our vessels are enclosed. The outer decks are equipped with rails and fencing that prevent the accidental fall of children and adults alike. We undergo a rigorous US Coast Guard inspection every year, and this is one of the things that they examine each time they are aboard. Once again, I'm sorry that this child's behavior disrupted your experience. I sincerely hope that the next time you visit Alaska you find yourself able to relax and enjoy every bit of your travels.
We got to see totem poles, a lighthouse, eagles and also some deer, sea lions, and orca whales!! What an amazing day!
Interesting and beautiful tour. Plenty of binoculars provided. The crew were really nice and it is obvious Captain McNeil is passionate about what she does and her home of Alaska. She shares lots of great information and insights. And we were treated to lots of local snacks and great hot chocolate, which we did not expect.
This was a great experience! WE saw TONS of Eagles, and a couple of sea loins....The crew on the boat was expectational! The snacks and drinks were much better than expected actually some of the best feed we had on our whole trip! Also the gentleman Dan who drove us to and from the ship was spectacular as well!!!
Very friendly transport to and from! Captain was very knowledgeable and showed us every eagle there was to see and let us know about landmarks! Price was reasonable
Great trip, the best hot chocolate and the guides and driver were outstanding.
Very worthwhile. The narration was excellent. Full of great information. The boat was extremely comfortable.
Thanks for coming aboard!
