Orca Cove Fast Boat & Sea Kayak Tour

The Orca Cove sea kayaking tour in Alaska offers a 3-hour escape from Ketchikan's crowds, showcasing wildlife like whales & eagles. Experience secluded coves and wildlife-rich islands by kayak with knowledgeable guides.

Alaska is a place to get away from it all &enjoy the serenity of the wilderness. This 3 hr excursion is a kayak & boating adventure that escapes the crowds in Ketchikan. Orca Cove is a 20 minute fast boat ride away from downtown Ketchikan & the entire experience is on the water. It’s the perfect experience for an adventure while giving you time to see Ketchikan during shorter port calls.
Spending the entire three hours on the water provides excellent chances to spot marine wildlife throughout the entire excursion. We often do see whales, sea lions, seals, bald eagles or even bears and deer along the coast. The immense array of inter tidal creatures are certainly a Southeast Alaskan favorite!
The true highlight of the Orcas Cove tour is exploring the secluded coves & rainforest islands by sea kayak with friendly, knowledgeable guides, although the local smoked salmon, hot drinks or cold Alaskan beers onboard the mothership after paddling are ranked a close second by many of our guests.
