- Cancellation notes
- Full payment is due at time of online booking. Cancellations due to weather are rare, but are at the sole discretion of Ketchikan Kayak Co. If you miss your tour due to ship/flight schedule changes (e.g. if your ship skips this port or if your flight is cancelled or changed and you can't physically be in Ketchikan for the tour) or if we cancel due to high winds, you will receive a full refund. NO TOURS IN KETCHIKAN CANCEL FOR RAIN.
- Cancellations made prior to 7 days of tour date receive a full refund.
- Cancellations made by the guest within 7 days of the tour are not eligible for a refund, for any reason, unless we are able to resell the seats.
- If your ship is late or decides to depart early we always do our best to accommodate the schedule change and make sure you can take the tour, do not automatically assume the tour is cancelled/refunded. Those scenarios are rare in Ketchikan, but we can often work with the change. If we can't get you on tour with us due to a ship schedule change or if you have another experience booked the same day and have to choose between the two due to the schedule change, you can provide us with the booking details for the other tour/experience that you've chosen to do and we'll refund your tour with us.
- This is our official policy but we know things happen in life and vacation can sometimes be stressful. Please contact us with any changes and we'll do our very best to work it out.
- Ketchikan hosts cruise ships 7 days a week all summer and we usually have 3 to 6 ships in port a day. Almost none of them stay over night. So our tours with a max of 10 or 12 guests are very small while there are thousands of guests in port daily. We take your limited time here on vacation very seriously and we know we rarely get second chances.

#Below are some details about your activity:
**What to prepare for:**
Please dress for the temperatures on the day of your trip. The best advice for gearing up for any excursion along your cruise is to bring layers. Quick dry material is always better than blue jeans.
We provide rain pants and jackets. We recommend you wear clothing that would be appropriate for outdoor hiking, and shoes that will fit comfortably inside the space of a kayak. Dry bags are also provided for cameras and incidental items.
PICKUP FOR DOWNTOWN CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS & OTHER GUESTS: *(Cruisers Docking at Ward Cove see next paragraph!)
After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the shelter at Cruise Berth 3. The green roof 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 map and photos attached make this easy to find. The walk is approximately 2-5 minutes depending on which pier you are docked. Our driver will be present 15 minutes before all departures holding a YELLOW sign that says "KETCHIKAN ZODIAC ADVENTURE."
FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS ARRIVING AT THE MILL AT WARD COVE:
***This excursion DOES NOT provide transportation to and from the new dock in Ward Cove.
You will need to take the shuttle buses provided to/from downtown Ketchikan.
The shuttle will drop you off at cruise berth 4 and it’s about a 5 minute walk along the dock to meet us at berth 3. (See above instructions for berth meeting details).
After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the brick building "The Mill at Ward Cove." Proceed through the building. You will need to go outside the building to find the shuttle buses to take you downtown.
Norwegian Cruise lines almost exclusively dock at Ward Cove. Guests from the Encore and the Bliss have had no issues taking our tour at 0800 or 0900 downtown using the shuttle buses from Ward Cove. Other ships/cruise lines may have longer port calls and more options for departures.
If you need assistance or are unsure about your Ketchikan itinerary please call or text Orca Cove Alaska Outdoor Adventures at 907-225-1258.
If you need assistance, call or text the Ketchikan Kayak Company at 907-225-1272.
*Remember to turn off airplane mode when you pull into port to aid in communication should there be any delays or should any issues arise the day of your excursion. Some wireless users may need to enable roaming on their phone, but US wireless users should not receive roaming charges in Ketchikan.
WANT TO SPEND THE DAY WITH US?!
Some ships itineraries are in Ketchikan long enough to enjoy both our Zodiac Adventure and our E-Bike & Hiking tours in the same trip. The combo tour total dock-to-dock time is 6.5 hours from departure and allows time between tours for our smoked salmon snack along with other local & vegan options and beverages at our marina.
You can reply to your confirmation email to inquire about this option for your stop in Ketchikan or feel free to text 907-225-1272 with your questions any time.
**Guided Tour Details:**
You must sign a liability release waiver before taking a tour.
Thank you for choosing our tour. We know you’ll love it out here!

- You can reply to your confirmation email to inquire about this option for your stop in Ketchikan or feel free to text 907-225-1272 with your questions any time.
