Jason was the perfect Captain! He showed my family and I the hidden side of Alaska. From old fish runs, to tucked away local places to eat, and the beautiful Alaskan sunsets. He showed us an amazing time. If we go back to Ketchikan, Wave Maker Tours is the first place we are calling!

Don’t miss this tour!!!!!
Our private boat tour in Ketchikan was hands down the highlight of our entire trip. Instead of the crowded, commercial experience that many tours offer, we were taken to remote, untouched areas that showcased the true beauty of Alaska. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes we've ever experienced.
Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing this special place with us. He even surprised us with a few unexpected extras along the way, which made the experience even more memorable.
A special mention goes to his wife, who made the most amazing snacks we've ever tasted! Their hospitality and personal touch made us feel like guests rather than customers.
If you're visiting Ketchikan and want an authentic, unforgettable experience, skip the crowded commercial boat tours and support this wonderful family-run business. We couldn't recommend them more highly

Wonderful Day on the Water
Jason provided the four of us a fun day of fishing and sightseeing. His experience on the water made us feel at ease while fishing and enjoying the native wildlife. We would highly recommend this tour experience in Ketchikan.

Amazing!

We've lived in the Ketchikan for nearly four years, but we truly didn't know the area until we took this private tour with Jason. From the start, the experience was incredible. The boat is fantastic- spacious, clean, and easily gliding over the waves. I was initially worried about my wife, who sometimes get seasick, but she was perfectly comfortable. Jason is a true professional; you can feel his passion and expertise in every detail of the tour. Having lived in Ketchikan for over 20 years, his knowledge of the region is unmatched. We saw stunning wildlife and delved into rich history of Ketchikan. Our favorite stop was Loring - exploring the Old Ketchikan area was absolutely captivating. Don't miss out on this tour!
