Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
During the months of March thru August, āwe stop at the locks. At the Ballard Locks, you may see migrating salmon going through the locks system during the summer months, Sea Lions, Eagles and maritime traffic as they navigate this engineering marvel. Approximate time at the locks is a half hour, giving you time to explore the locks and fish ladder. (Note: This stop is not on tour September 1st-March 1st. See booking page for more info)
Winter Tour Notes
From October 29th thru March 1st, we do not stop at the locks due to the lack of boating activity and an empty fish ladder.
