Are you ready to be an Alaska Boatman in your own Zodiac type rigid hulled inflatable boat (RIB)? On a Zodiac Tour with us you can bring along your first mate and be the captain for a part of this three hour guided tour. Follow the guide in your fast boat through rainforest islands keeping an eye out for wildlife: Whales, seals, eagles, sea lions, bears.
The boat is a 14-foot zodiac fully equipped with console steering, seats four with a max speed of 25 knots. Motor into a beach, climb onto land and break for hot drink and a snack. Then, for your return, hand the helm over to another boatman. You will pass rocky islands where humpback whales and orca frequently surface and when in season, go deep into bays and inlets where salmon spawning streams attract black bears. This is an excursion for the spirited traveler with an opportunity to drive your own boat among the islands north of Ketchikan.
You may get cold. You may get wet. Wildlife sightings are not a guarantee, but you will see beautiful sights and be exhilarated by the speed of this zippy and fun 4x4 of the sea!
"We did a Zodiac Boat Trip with Clem. She was an awesome guide and took us to several great locations. She was very knowledgeable about the local area."

"Six of us did the zodiac boat tour in Ketchikan and it was fantastic. Clementine was our guide and she was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about the area, very personable and fun to be with. It was fun driving our own boats and we were fortunate enough to see hump back whales."

"We took the Zodiac Boat Tour in August 2022. Trevin was our guide, he was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable on the wildlife and landscape. My family of 3 took turns driving our boat, our 13 year old had a blast!! By luck, we were actually the only people signed up that morning; many other companies would cancel or force you into another group/activity, I truly appreciate that they accommodated us. The hot chocolate and cookies were also a nice surprise! Highly recommend this tour!"
