Best what you can do when visiting Ketchikan
We spend one day in Ketchikan while cruising the Alaska coast. Out of the huge variety of excursions offered for Ketchikan we chosen the Neets Bay Encounter by Land & Sea as it was promising a real natural experience.
We has been very lucky with the weather as it was outstanding beautiful for the time of the year.
Our bus transfer from Ketchikan Port to Glover Pass was safe and quick. From there we got on the boat bringing us to Neets Bay. We’ve been a small group which was great - giving us much space on the 36 seating boat. Our Guide was fantastic as he was very experienced about the area and he shared a lot of his knowledge. So the boat ride took a while but the scenery and the beautiful sunshine made it a really nice ride.
Arriving at Neets Bay felt like arriving far from civilization. Only reachable via Boat or floatplane.
Our guide and Captain Pete escorted us through the Alaska Rainforest til we reached the outlook to spot the bears strolling around and getting some salmon out of the river.
It was just such a great feeling standing close to the real wildlife without any kind of a fence between the bears and us.
We could have stayed for hours watching the scenery and the nature but as always… at some point our captain said that’s time to walk back to boat.
So we did soaking in this great environment spotting eagles, seals, sea lions etc.
The boat ride back to Glover Pass was as great as the earlier one. Such beautiful ever changing views.
We really did enjoy this excursion and I would say that even the price is on the higher side it is really well invested money!
We would do it again and do recommend this tour with no doubt.
This was the last tour they have done for the 2026 season - so we were very happy and lucky to be part of this last one!
Thank you very much!

Awesome excursion
Very comfortable boat ride with an informative guide, who was as excited as us when we saw orcas. Loved our time with the bears- wished it was longer. A nice small sized group there, so was great viewing for everyone from the platform. We scored bigtime because as well as seeing 7 black bears and the 3 orcas we saw a humpback whale, a deer, a mink, harbour seals and sealions.
This experience was the highlight of our cruise.

Amazing trip.
It’s was an amazing trip we saw so much wildlife. We saw orca, seals, sea lions, and humpback whales on the boat ride there. Then at the salmon hatchery we saw so many bears catching and eating salmon.

Bear Encounter
Wow what an amazing experience to do in Ketchikan! This tour took us out to a salmon breeding farm and right along side of the farm was some huge black bears having a great time catching salmon in the river. Just incredible to see these beautiful animals in a natural environment doing their thing. A must see tour to do!

Absolutely brilliant !!
From the knowledgeable Lori who drove us from the main port out to Neets Bay to Nate the very capable skipper of our vessel; the comfortable Miss Allison the trip was brilliant.
Charlotte our guide filled us with amazing facts about the wildlife, local area, indigenous tales she was so exuberant and patient with some guests not wanting to listen.
The trip certainly met my expectations with close up encounters with bears and Stellar Sea Lions. Sightings of Bald Eagles and Humpback Whales - it was brilliant. Thank you all very much ❤️

An Unforgettable Day
This excursion was the highlight of our holiday. We were lucky enough to see sea lions, bald eagles and lots of bears! The two guides that we had were clearly passionate about wildlife and very enthusiastic in sharing their knowledge with us. We had the most amazing day and would not hesitate to book this tour again, if we are ever able to re-visit this beautiful part of the world.
