This duck tour with Preston and Captain Mike was a great excursion. We learned a lot about Ketchikan, AK and saw all of the highlights of the area along the way. I would highly recommend this tour.

Check where the pickup point is. We went to the address shown on the ticket but had to come back all the way to our cruise terminal.

I loved the Ketchikan Duck Boat Tour! I was a little hesitant to book since our group was all adults, but it ended up being perfect for adults and kids alike. It was such a fun way to see Ketchikan by both land and water. Tracy and Captain Miguel did an amazing job with the tour and made the whole experience enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it!

Fun tour around the city and waterfront. Your guide and driver were both great!
Would book again if I had the chance.

Great informative ride around town! Loved that we could see everything and know what we wanted to go back look at after! Prevented us from walking to things we saw via the tour! The ride in the water was cool and we were lucky to have great weather!

Joann_S, Jul 2026
Great tour with Captain John and Sierra. Great history and stories. Corny jokes but overall a great tour!

So glad we had this tour available on a crazy rainy day! Being enclosed while still be able to tour around and see Ketchikan was amazing! Abigail was amazing!
Sonia_D, Jul 2026
Great experience. Fun for kids and adults. Preston was great. Would definitely book this excursion again. My kids and grandkids loved it as did I.
Nicole_W, Jul 2026
We had a fantastic time! Justin was one of the best tour guides we’ve had in a while & we were in great hands with Captain Chill.
We came on a cruise ship and booked separately, and they were very accommodating to our ship schedule. Definitely would recommend!

We had such a fun experience on this duck tour. Only thing I can say that I observed was difficulty getting on and off the tour bus boat by people who had mobility impairments. This was not anyone with our immediate group, but was an observed thing I could see being a concern, as there are numerous steps that you have to climb up and back down.

We had the best time! We saw Bald Eagles, watched planes land in the water, and got a great little tour of the town, and marina. Dont miss out on getting a duck whistle! Fan Freaking tastic!
Bhavin_S, Jul 2026
Awesome tour that gets you what you need to see on land and water. Sierra our guide was very funny, witty and informative. The time flew by and we had good time with this tour.

Alvin_M, Jun 2026
MC was really informative on Ketchikan and its history! She was funny as well! We were able to see bald eagles which was also amazing!
Terry_D, Jun 2026
The tour takes in the town and a slow punt on the water. I’ve been on ducks in most major cities and they are doing there best with what is in town, there is very little on the water and most interesting bits can be walked to. It’s a bit long and although Abigail cracked jokes and was loud and monosyllabic it’s not worth the money and time.
Heather_L, Jun 2026
It was nice-it was what it described. Was a nice little ride around the town, and then was fun riding around in the water
Sara_F, Jun 2026
We had one of the few warm and sunny days so this was a great tour! Nicely narrated by Sierra with CPT Jonathan
Harry_W, May 2026
A really FUN city tour / harbor tour! Totally enjoyable. Only ‘comment’ would be to show up at least 30 minutes early as location on ticket may be a 30 minute walk from where YOUR tour may actually start. We checked it at noon for a 12:30 tour and still barely made it from the ticket location to Pier 4 where OUR tour began.
Jacque_F, May 2026
It was a great group. Preston was super fun and knowledgeable and the driver was great as well.. we had a lot
Kenyetta_C, May 2026
Great way to see the town by land & sea..
Glad it wasn’t raining on the day we went.
Look at video to get a better view of it.
Allan_S, May 2026
20 mins around town, 20mins in water, 15 minute washdown of vehicle, 10 minute drive back to ship.. the odd amusing comment.
William_A, May 2026
It’s a good tour but could be a little longer. Scheduled for 1 1/2 hours and was actually 1 hr 10 minutes,
From $79.00
