The Top 10 Staff Pick Tours in Ketchikan

The beauty of our Ketchikan staff pick tours is that you know you’re in for a great day. Each one of these tours has been hand-selected by our dedicated team because they provide the best experiences Ketchikan has to offer. So, whether you’re imagining a relaxed day of sightseeing, or an action-packed afternoon of adventure, there will be a tour here to suit you.

The Misty Fjords Sightseeing tour is a fantastic opportunity to see one of the Ketchikan region’s most mindblowing natural landscapes from the air. Take a traditional Alaskan seaplane across to the mainland and gaze down over deep fjords, crystal-clear lakes, and craggy cliffs rising thousands of feet from the ground. This is one incredible tour!

For something completely different, try the Adventure Karts Expedition. Enjoy a narrated bus tour through downtown Ketchikan as you make your way to the 4x4 trails. Get kitted up, climb aboard your ATV, and prepare for a wild ride through the trails of the Tongass National Forest. Hear the engine roar as you dart through the tall Sitka spruces, keeping your eyes peeled for eagles, deer, and bears, and stopping en route for mindblowing views over the Inside Passage. 

The Hovercraft Eco Adventure and Wildlife Viewing Tour includes a super fun hovercraft ride over the scenic waters that surround Revillagigedo Island, all while suspended on a cushion of air. Learn about the region’s animals and plant life as you travel, keeping your eyes trained on the coastline for possible sightings of seals, eagles, and even whales! 

So, what next? If you’ve chosen your Ketchikan staff pick tour, you can go ahead and book online. Or, if you have questions, reach out to a member of our expert team for advice.
