Whale & Wildlife Watching in Ketchikan with Eagle One

Ketchikan, Alaska, often called the 'Salmon Capital of the World,' offers a rugged coastal gateway to some of the richest wildlife encounters on the Pacific Northwest seaboard. Here, Eagle One Enterprises LLC delivers a distinctive wildlife and whale watching package that combines sea and land adventures, ideal for nature lovers drawn by untamed forest and marine life. Operating with smaller boats that invite close encounters, Eagle One tours stand apart by emphasizing intimate, personal experiences over large-scale boat charters. The company’s Premier Land and Sea Discount Package ties together a robust boat tour with knowledgeable guides navigating Ketchikan’s complex waterways and shoreline trails.

The boat trips focus on spotting humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, and the elusive bald eagle in their natural habitats. Guests appreciate the smaller vessel’s agility and varied seating that includes open bow views and sheltered cabins—perfect for photography or simply feeling the cold Alaskan breeze. The highlight is the rare chance to feed wild bald eagles, witnessing their precision flight and voracious appetite firsthand. Beyond the water, land tours venture into dense, moss-lined forests and along rocky coves where deer, seals, and bears may appear, led by guides fluent in local ecology and indigenous cultural narratives.

Eagle One’s operation is family owned, fostering a warm atmosphere, backed by enthusiastic captains and naturalists who bring the landscape to life through engaging narration. The business is rooted in protecting Ketchikan’s wilderness, encouraging respect for wildlife and its environment.

This combination of comprehensive wildlife viewing from boat and land, seasoned guides, and a commitment to sustainable tourism makes Eagle One Enterprises a standout choice for adventurers keen to witness Alaska’s wild heart with authenticity and intimacy.
