Wilderness Zodiac Quest

Overview

Your adrenalin will be pumping when you captain a four- or six-passenger Zodiac, a rigid-hulled inflatable boat offering speed and agility. The adventure begins with a tour by van through historic downtown Ketchikan. Look out the windows as your scenic drive travels past totem poles, Saxman Native Village, and the beautiful coastline of the Tongass Narrows to the Beaver Falls Salmon Cannery. Upon arrival, breathe in the fresh air as you walk the mystical rainforest trail to the Zodiac. After a safety briefing, you’ll bundle up in rain gear, rubber boots and a life jacket, step inside the sturdy Zodiac and follow your guide out to the beautiful George Inlet Fjords. Soak up the pristine scenery, and marvel at the rich wildlife. After cruising for 90 minutes, you’ll return to the cannery for a complimentary flight of 49th state craft beers or sodas and a snack!

What a great experience. We absolutely loved going out on the zodiac boats and checking out the scenery. We were lucky enough to see a bald eagle close-up. Morgan was our tour guide and she was fabulous. We felt very safe and absolutely enjoyed the snacks and craft beers when we got back highly recommend.

We had the most amazing day with Morgan. We born it vessels With only two people per group which was amazing.I do believe if it was more than two people per group, it would have felt very cramped. We went out on the water and had the most amazing time and amazing weather. Morgan showed us different eagles. Different water falls in a newly fallen landslides. The scenery was amazing, and we we're able to steer our own vessel the entire time. We did not stop smiling from ear to ear the entire excursion. We got back to the dock, and they provided locally sourced ciders, ears, wines and non alcoholic drinks. They also provided local cheese ans raindeer deer meat. The location was phenomenal. And you took a little nature, walk to get there over multiple waterfalls.In rainforests, we would highly recommend this tour again

Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. First time driving a boat and it couldn't have been more fun! Bonus flight of beer or wine at the end was a nice touch.
