The Top 2 Kayak Tours in Ketchikan

A kayak adventure is a fantastic way to spend your Ketchikan vacation time, enjoying the clean and fresh Alaskan air, the serene waters of the sheltered islands around the city, and - of course - its diverse wildlife. Kayaking is an easy sport to get the hang of, so you don’t need to worry if you’ve never tried it before. The feeling of liberation you’ll get from exploring at your own pace and under your own steam (or paddle!) will make the effort you put in well worth it. Join one of our Ketchikan kayak tours for standout vacation memories!

On the Ketchikan Kayak Eco Tour, you’ll explore the western edge of Revillagigedo Island. This area is super sheltered so you can expect calm waters and easy paddling. An expert guide will lead you on an exhilarating adventure, showing you the unique elements of this coastal ecosystem, while also spotting native wildlife like porpoises, sea lions, and Sitka deer. You’ll return with loads of stunning photos, a full heart, and an enhanced understanding of Ketchikan’s beautiful surroundings. 

The Orca Cove Sea Kayaking tour explores an area south of Ketchikan where you’ll spot loads of marine life while paddling around a remote Alaskan island. This is one of our most popular kayak tours, because it packs a full day’s worth of activity into only three hours, leaving you plenty of time to explore Ketchikan on your return. Once you’ve made your way to Orcas Cove, you’ll get settled into your tandem kayak before gently paddling around a picturesque island shoreline, keeping watch for seals, starfish, and jellyfish along the way. As well as marine animals, there’s also the potential to see bald eagles, humpback whales, and bears on this wildlife-rich excursion.
