Zodiac Fast Boat Adventure

Overview

You're the Captain Now!
Hop aboard our Zodiac inflatable fast boats for a guided excursion on the Pacific Ocean in Alaska’s Inside Passage! Take turns at the tiller driving or hang on and enjoy the ride. There are many tours here that allow you to just ride along, this isn’t one of them. Small groups of up to 3 inflatable fast boats follow a guide boat through the jagged coastline islands of Southeast Alaska in search of bald eagles nests, resident seals and sea lions, an immense array of inter tidal creatures and, everyone’s favorite, bubble-net feeding humpback whales! Clover Pass features calmer waters and often better weather than tours running in downtown Ketchikan so we love getting you out of town and away from the crowds.

Enjoy a beautiful spread of smoked salmon dip, warm crab and brie, hummus and other snacks and complimentary beverages (Beer, wine 21+ with iD) from the amazing view at the Salmon Falls Resort Restaurant after your time on the water.
Let's Go!

We planned a zodiac trip for some coworkers to be able to get out on the water together and try out the experience of the zodiacs. For many of us, it was our first time. Stan, our guide, was so helpful and sociable. Especially for it being a trip where we all knew the area and work together. He fit right in and made sure the experience was fun and informative for us as well. We saw plenty of wildlife in a shortened trip. One of us had to work, but we had a great time. We exchanged stories about our experiences seeing whales in the waters we were floating in. We also looked through binoculars for seal on the rocky beaches/bays. Spotted some bald eagles of course. Would love to have another trip on the zodiacs. A plus for Stan to lead.

Great excursion. They made it really easy for us coming off of our cruise ship, zero hassles. Our driver and boat guide were so friendly and accommodating. I was able to operate our boat easily with no prior experience. We saw eagles, sea lions, and a bear! So awesome. My mom was VERY hesitant to do this excursion and it ended up being one of her favorite parts of our trip. It is not physically demanding and boats are VERY easy to operate, suitable for any age or fitness level. Great opportunity to view and photograph wildlife. would recommend this for EVERYONE who wants a unique & memorable Alaskan experience.

I am writing this as I return to downtown Ketchikan from my zodiac adventure...Riding in the rear seat of an old mini van smelling exhaust fumes. The van ride to the launch dock each way is 30 minutes. Ben was our guide. He was very friendly and accommodating. Once we arrived at the dock, we were fitted with waterproof gear as expected. After boarding our zodiac,I quickly realized this was not the adventure advertised. This adventure was much more like a race as opposed to enjoyable. After leaving the dock Ben was full throttle.... expecting us to follow and keep up. The boat was difficult to control and VERY uncomfortable. While expecting to enjoy the coastline from a different perspective, being the ‘driver’, I never enjoyed anything. My full attention was keeping the zodiac straight and keeping up with Ben. We were on the water for approximately two hours. Approximately half way through our ‘adventure’ our boat started taking on water; making it that much more difficult to control. The last 30-45 minutes were the worst and most difficult. The wind had picked up and the water was rough making the ability to control the zodiac that much more difficult. Unless the throttle was kept wide open, it was impossible to keep a consistent speed. With the throttle wide open, the zodiac pounded the rough seas. All in all, I would NEVER have booked this adventure had I known.....
