Why take this tour?

You're the Captain Now! 
Hop aboard our military grade inflatable fast boats for a guided excursion on the Pacific Ocean in Alaska’s Inside Passage! Take turns at the tiller driving or hang on and enjoy the ride. There are many tours here that allow you to just ride along, this isn’t one of them. Small groups of up to 3 inflatable fast boats follow a guide boat through the jagged coastline islands of Southeast Alaska in search of bald eagles nests, resident seals and sea lions, an immense array of inter tidal creatures and, everyone’s favorite, bubble-net feeding humpback whales! Clover Pass features calmer waters and often better weather than tours running in downtown Ketchikan so we love getting you out of town and away from the crowds. 
Let's Go!

Redemption information

    DOWNTOWN CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS & Hotel Guests:
    Please proceed to the shelter at Cruise Berth 3. The shelter is on the dock next to the "Visitors Information/Restrooms" building and Sockeye Sam's Store.
    (NOTE: this is not the berth 2 Visitors Center).
    The walk is approximately 2-5 minutes depending at which pier you are docked. The address is 420 Water Street. Our guide will be present 15 minutes before all departures holding a RED sign that says "KETCHIKAN KAYAK CO."

    CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS ARRIVING AT THE MILL AT WARD COVE:
    After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the brick building "The Mill at Ward Cove." Proceed through the building to the right. Tour vendors will be greeting guests for excursions in the corner near the restrooms and the large overhead door. Look for your driver with a RED sign that reads "KETCHIKAN KAYAK CO."
    ***IMPORTANT NOTE!
    The MIll at Ward Cove is halfway between downtown Ketchikan and our Tour, this means departures from Ward Cove will look for our van driver 15 MINUTES AFTER THE SCHEDULED DOWNTOWN DEPARTURE TIME and guests returning to Ward Cove will be back about 15 minutes early.
