About Ketchikan Kayak Company
Ketchikan Kayak Company operates guided and self-guided water and land tours from Ketchikan, Alaska. The company offers a range of experiences including sea kayaking, inflatable zodiac fast boat adventures, electric bike and rainforest hikes, multi-day rentals, and waitlist opportunities for sold-out departures.
Guided offerings include the Kayak Eco-Tour (2.25 hours on the water) and a longer Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour (4-hour tour with 2–2.5 hours paddling to Clover Pass). These island and coastal routes pass through the Tongass National Forest near Clover Pass, a noted area for Steller sea lions, seals, bald eagles, intertidal life, and occasional whales and porpoises. Guides provide gear, rain protection, round-trip transportation from downtown cruise docks and Ward Cove for select tours, and local interpretation of ecology.
Fast boat options include the Zodiac Fast Boat Adventure and the Ketchikan Zodiac Adventure, both featuring inflatable zodiac vessels where guests can steer on guided routes through the Inside Passage and coastal coves. The Orca Cove Fast Boat & Sea Kayaking Tour combines boat cruising with small-group sea kayaking and wildlife viewing. The original electric bike tour leads riders to the Tongass edge followed by a guided rainforest hike along salmon streams and a waterfall, ending with smoked salmon or vegan snacks at Clover Pass Resort.
Equipment, snacks, and knowledgeable guides are provided for applicable trips. The company’s offerings emphasize small groups, wildlife viewing, and access to calmer microclimates north of downtown Ketchikan. Booking options accommodate cruise schedules and offer flexible departure times to match port arrivals and needs.
