Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Vos bateaux sont à quai à l'intérieur de Ward Cove, qui était autrefois le site de la plus grande usine de pâte à papier des États-Unis. Des vestiges de l'ancienne usine de pâte à papier peuvent être vus à votre arrivée à votre quai, ainsi que de l'eau. Vous en apprendrez davantage sur les industries qui carburaient autrefois à Ketchikan alors que nous quittons votre quai pour nous diriger vers des eaux plus sauvages.
Voir la belle maison de clan autochtone de l'Alaska et les mâts totémiques de l'eau. Vos guides partageront avec vous l'histoire du parc et discuteront des cultures autochtones dynamiques de Ketchikan en Alaska.
Pendant la première partie de votre voyage, vous verrez de nombreuses maisons locales parsemer votre rivage, certaines d'entre elles même sur leur propre île! Nous vous parlerons du mode de vie unique de vivre isolé en Alaska.
Regardez le phare historique de Guard Island depuis l'eau, avec une vue panoramique sur le paysage marin au-delà. Votre capitaine discutera de son architecture unique et partagera avec vous une partie de son histoire.
Observez la plus grande forêt tropicale tempérée du monde depuis l'eau. Nous naviguons le long du littoral sauvage de vos îles éloignées, qui sont densément peuplées d'épinette 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 votre bateau d'excursion!

Captain Tom, and crew Jared and Alex and driver Dan were also personable and friendly. It was almost like we stepped into family. Very accommodating. The descriptions of the things we saw, gave us an insiders appreciation of the Eagles totems and the lighthouse. The history of the region came alive. And the snacks on board were delicious. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fun, intimate excursion on a boat in the waters near Ketchikan. One suggestion is to be early enough for the excursion to get on the main deck, which is outside seating (if weather permits).
Very relaxing trip. We saw Eagles, Seals and beautiful scenery.,
So glad you found it relaxing :)
Had a great time. Captain was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job pointing out eagles, totems, and lighthouse. Also gave us lots of local information. Crew was very nice and helpful as well.
Thanks for the great review!
We had a wonderful, relaxing boat cruise viewing the USCG lighthouse and spotting majestic eagles and adorable harbor seals. Captain Kyle and his genuinely friendly crew made the trip special with their knowledge and warm hospitality. The salmon snacks were an excellent touch that elevated the ride. Thank you Captain Kyle, AJ and Alex. A perfect outing—highly recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!
The best time I've had in Alaska!!! Love this excursion, bald eagles 🦅 and even a humpback whale 🐋
Wow! Thank you so much for the great review! So glad you had fun, and its always amazing to see a whale :)
Captain Tom Frazier and his crew provided us with an amazing experience! Captain Tom gave us great narrative & historical context on the the totem poles we were shown. We were shown a huge eagles nest on one of the small islands on the lake. While we saw individual eagles throughout the tour the absolute best viewing of multiple eagles was on the island where the lighthouse was located. At least 7 eagles were flying around, circling and interacting with each other mid-flight. It was quite a exhilarating sight! In addition to the eagles, totem poles, and lighthouse, we were also treated to beverages and light snacks on the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ketchikan, Alaska!
Great information, service and delicious Alaska style snacks. The views are outstanding, worth every minute!
We booked this excursion through a Norwegian Cruise and it was FANTASTIC. Went on it this morning. It completely exceeded our expectations. No bus ride involved - got on the boat directly from the pier at Ward Cove. Everyone on the boat was very nice and friendly. They served hot chocolate to start the trip, and I really enjoyed the snack during the trip of smoked salmon and their dip (which they give the recipe for!) with crackers. The guide and narration was great. They pointed out multiple eagles and eagle nests along the route. I got photos (bring the longest lens you have!) of at least 10 different bald eagles on the trip. In trees, on the shore, on a buoy, and perched on the lighthouse. Well worth the money - highly recommended!
Excellent tour. Captain Bailey and crew were outstanding. Captain Bailey’s breadth of knowledge about Ketchikan is impressive. We saw numerous eagles and a pod of orcas. The hot chocolate and salmon snacks were delicious. I would 100 percent recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ketchikan.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! It's great to hear that you had such a good experience. Captain Kyle Bailey is one of our longest serving captains and grew up in Ketchikan. We're grateful for all of his experience and knowledge. We hope to see you again next time you visit Ketchikan!
My wife and I enjoyed the "Lighthouse, Totems and Eagles" excursion very much. Knowledgeable crew, great scenery, and wonderful snacks. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the review and the recommendation! See you next time :)
