Ketchikan Duck Tour - Ketchikan, Alaska

Best tour of the city. Emma gave amazing information. We got the first raw seats and she was very friendly with our little kids. Excellent duck tour to go. They took us to the place where we had a chance to see so many bald eagles flying from the top of the bus. Highly recommend.

Keith and Angel did a great job on the tour. We were able to see some eagles and stayed dry during the rain. I recommend going in the morning as they go by some great locations and give a good history of the town.

Great tour! Captain Jonathan helped make this tour worth it! A tour through the core of Ketchikan and out into the harbor with a historical narrative, music, and some silly jokes from the narrator Damian. I would recommend this tour, especially during inclement weather!

The Ketchikan Duck Tour is an Historic City and Harbor Tour, all in one. The 90-minute tour starts in town, going past several notable sites, which are narrated and explained by the tour guide. You’ll ride aboard the new redesigned Amphibian Duck Boat, which is an improvement from the 1940’s era vehicles, which were used in the beginning. After the town portion of the tour, the boat drives right into the Tongass Narrows, where one learns about the fishing fleet, and how to recognize which type, and the history of the Ketchikan International Airport.
There is no food aboard, and no restrooms. Use the restrooms at the Tourist Information Building, and eat elsewhere. One will need to be able to climb a short ladder, 9 rungs, to board the Duck, and the captain and guide are available to help. Mobility devices are stored safely off the Duck boat, and are returned to the boarding ladder at the end of the trip.
The seating area is covered and has clear plastic sides for viewing and photo ops, in case of rain. Dress warmly as if you were outside. Bring your camera!

Had an amazing time with Captain Keith and Angel today! What a great way to tour Ketchikan! You get to see the highlights of land and sea, while being thoroughly entertained and informative! It was Angel's first day as a Narrator, but he seemed like a seasoned pro! Both Captain Keith and Angel shared their unique backgrounds with us, and you could tell they each had a passion for Ketchikan and Alaska in general!

Stacy and captain Tony were awesome!! In addition to how entertained I personally was and how cool Stacy is in general, we saw a humpback whale named Phoenix bubble feeding!!! She also takes care and focus as well as remembers what matters. I love when great customer service is met with exceptional knowledge, the personality is a plus. Captain Tony also was a smooth driver, sailor, also knowledgeable of the ocean and rules. They were great together. Thank you for the exceptional and rare experience!!

Had the pleasure to take this tour on beautiful sunny mothers' day this past Sunday;

I'm here in Ketchikan as a seasonal worker driving a bus from the cruise port at Ward Cove, I try to take tours and have personal experiences to recommend to my passengers that arrive to the port in search of adventures.

Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, from the ticket agent to the captain and narrator. Price was standard compared with other similar tours; the vehicle was clean and in good condition, and I felt safe at all times.
I was on the 11am tour with Captain Tony and narrator Damon. They were very knowledgeable of the island history and shared interesting stories and funny jokes throughout the tour. It was a great time, and I will definitely be recommending this tour to all my passengers.

Thank you, Tony and Damon

Captain Mike and Garret were AMAZING! They were both very funny and knowledgeable! We have always wanted to do a duck tour and we decided to this in Ketchikan. We did book ahead of time , so I do suggest doing that . I would book directly with them and not though the cruise line. If you are on a RC ship, you just get off at the port and they pick up and drop off right there! Captain Mike was able to point out some harbor seals he had been watching for a few days. We saw so many eagles flying around. That was cool to see! The amount of seaplanes taking off and landing while you are in the water is amazing! We had a great time! I would defiantly recommend this with Captain Mike and Garrett! And buy the $4 duck whistle it will quack you up all night! :0)
