Best thing we did in Ketchikan! - We had such a great time! They were so accommodating and the whole experience was amazing! Jaden was our guide and he was so great! We got to see a bald eagle, seals, and some cool Alaskan homes. The boats were comfortable and easy to drive! We got lucky and had a sunny day so we got to see a lot of the inlet! 10/10 would do this again, by far our favorite thing we have done in Ketchikan!

Excellent way to see the wilderness! - Our driver, Beth and tour guide Emily were fantastic! Both were super knowledgeable and friendly and enjoyed engaging in conversation. The whole process of getting to and on the boat was seamless. It’s a super professional operation and we felt very comfortable driving the boat. They provide you with wet gear if you prefer to wear it. We saw a sea lion basking! After the ride, they take you back to the cannery and let you sit and enjoy the wilderness while tasting Alaskan beer and wine!

Great expedience. - We were blessed with a warm, beautiful sunny day so we didn’t need the supplied boots and HH provided rain gear. The walk from the drop off point was beautiful and a short trek to the pier. The zodiac boats provided are better than expected. They have padded seats and steering wheels. We half expected the zodiacs where you have wooden benches and steer by a handle. Emily was our guide and you can feel her passion and excitement for what she does. She truly loves it. We saw eagles, beautiful waterfalls, salmon leaping from the water and an abundance of seals. We did not see bears but the tour before or did, so while we missed them, they are there. Becca served our snacks which was a selection of meats and cheeses along with a choice of wines, bears or locally made sodas. We would definitely do this tour again.

The zodiac quest is an unforgettable tour!! - The zodiac quest tour is a must do for anyone visiting Ketchikan. Huge shout out to our guide Emily. She made sure everyone had a blast. We were lucky enough to get to spot a bear, some eagles, seals and other wildlife. We couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Exactly what we wanted in Alaska excursion - We met our ride at the docks, and were taken to an old salmon canning factory. We received excellent instruction and our trip was totally awesome. The boats are so fun and seeing Alaska from the waterway was amazing. We saw a lot of Harbor Seals and a beautiful waterfall. Emily is very knowledgeable about the local culture, nature, and economy. After the trip, we experienced Alaska beverages with explanation which was awesome. The old cannery has character and holds its own interesting history on top of the Zodiac Boats and tasting. My only concern was locating the guide at the docks, we had to call AdventureVue. Once we left our cruise boat, my cell phone and reception was limited. So maybe check with AdventureVue before the trip to know exactly where to meet. We met them at the “rock statue” by the visitor center.

Brilliant experience - A fantastic trip along the waterways. My wife and I had our own zodiac and the look of joy on her face as she was driving the boat was priceless. The staff were very knowledgeable & the beer/wine tasting at the end fantastic and set us up for a very different afternoon sightseeing tour of Ketchikan itself
