Exciting Outdoor Adventures

Much of Alaska offers great experiences in the wild, but if you are unfamiliar with the area, relying on the knowledgeable assistance of the locals is the safest way to see the countryside. This is why Ketchikan Outdoors offers a variety of tailor-made adventures for those who want to experience the "real Alaska." Instead of heading to the usual crowded Alaska tourists destinations, you will drive a motorized inflatable boat to some of the lesser-known, and even more breathtaking points in the state. You will have the opportunity to see wildlife in its natural habitat and snap photos of eagles, bears, whales, and seals. When you rent one of these boats, you will receive not only the keys to the vehicle but socks, hats, rain gear, gloves, boots, binoculars, and dry bags because you will get wet. Riders are encouraged to dress warmly. This is a thrilling adventure and should be reserved for those in good health, weighing at least 50 pounds (but not more than 350) and anyone who would like to be a driver must be at least 25 years of age. Only four guests are allowed on each boat. Tours are available that are 2.5 hours in length, or 4 hours with a camp visit. There is also a Romantic Alaska Tour for couples who would like to experience a unique adventure.
