It was fabulous, not only did we see a multiple eagles, and seals, but fortunate enough to see a humpback whale! The staff and crew are absolutely awesome!
We saw plenty of eagles and even saw a whale. The host was great at explaining the history and showing the eagles nesting areas. Would definitely recommend.
Nice, well organized tour. Lovely day cruising around and spotting many eagles and seals. I would do again.
This is an excellent local tour operator. The excursion had a friendly crew that shared wonderful insight and local knowledge. Well done!
Dan the driver to the boat was very friendly and described Ketchikan as he drove us.
Tom the captain was very knowledgeable. The deckhands were friendly and helpful.

This was a great experience! WE saw TONS of Eagles, and a couple of sea loins....The crew on the boat was expectational! The snacks and drinks were much better than expected actually some of the best feed we had on our whole trip! Also the gentleman Dan who drove us to and from the ship was spectacular as well!!!
Very worthwhile.

Nice tour! We spotted many bald eagles! The weather was a little rainy towards the end, but luckily the lower boat was warm and dry.
Fun boat tour ride. Great staff. Excellent snacks and hot chocolate, Coke, Sprite, diet Coke, and water. Friendly native, helpful shuttle driver. Captain and staff on the boat- couldn't of been any better!!
We were so lucky to see Eagles, eagle nests and little ones in the next and starting to fledge...we were also so lucky to see humpback whales! bubblenet feeding!
You won't be disappointed, I'm surprised not everyone does this! Absolutely fantastic, history and nature all combined.
Great guide and experience. Captain was wonderful and crew made us feel at home. Would certainly do it again.
From start to finish our tour of Lighthouse, Totems & Eagles in Ketchikan was exactly what was promised, started with the driver of the van Dan, he was on his own a historian very interesting ride to the ship. Dan is a great story teller we enjoyed him very much. The boat was beautiful we enjoyed the Eagles along with other wildlife. The snacks were very good, also the narrating was like a history lesson, We felt this excursion was worth the time and money. It's highlight of our Alaska trip, is the most memorable and enjoyable part of our Alaska cruise.
Thank you Rabekka, Jeff and Dan !
The tour is about 2.5 hours. The boat is not very big but comfortable, with indoor and outdoor sitting. Views are awesome, with possibility to see eagles, seals and otter; lighthouses and private islands. The crew is great; very accommodating. The snack are interesting, comprising of locally sourced smoked salmon, sea cucumber and sea salt dark chocolate. The hot chocolate was probably the best we ever had.
One of best excursions I've ever been on (Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaiian or Alaskan) - crew friendly and knowledgeable. We even accidentally came upon a humpback near the shore. So we got the eagles, seals, lighthouses we expected, and a whale we didn't.
Dylan very friendly and helpful. We saw lots of bald eagles. We were also able to see some harbor seals and a humpback whale while out. Very beautiful scenery to see on this excursion! Would definitely recommend.
We saw some eagles but they were very far. Which the boat ride was lit closer to see them. I didn’t care for the old house. Also it wasn’t Many of totem.
Fantastic itinerary with unplanned multiple sightings of humpback whales! The pickup and drop off at our ship was very easy. The boat crew was great and went over and above to ensure we were safe and given plenty of warm beverages!
We had a wonderful experience finding eagles, seeing totems and the lighthouse, and as a bonus got to see a pod of whales bubble- net fishing
We did see eagle's nests and an eagle perched on a bouy. We saw the lighthouse and the story behind it was and it was impressive.
All in all it was interest. The snacks were delicious!!
