5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Favorite Excursion in Alaska — Wildlife, Rainforest & an Amazing Seafood Feast
This was hands down our favorite excursion of our entire Alaska trip! From the moment we boarded the boat, the experience was wonderful. One of the absolute highlights was watching a bald eagle swoop down and dip right into the water beside our boat after our guide enticed it with frozen herring. Seeing such a magnificent bird that close was an unforgettable Alaska moment. 🦅 We then explored a beautiful rainforest, walking among the towering trees and lush greenery. It was peaceful, incredibly scenic, and gave us another completely different way to experience the beauty of Alaska. And then came the seafood feast! The seafood boil was fresh, plentiful and absolutely delicious — the perfect way to finish the adventure. What made this excursion particularly special for our family was the kindness shown to my parents. Both the captain and tour director were incredibly patient and helpful getting them safely on and off the boat. They never made them feel rushed, and that extra care meant so much to us. Between the wildlife, beautiful boat ride, rainforest, delicious seafood feast and wonderful crew, this excursion exceeded our expectations. It was our favorite tour of the entire trip, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Ketchikan!
5Freaking amazing
Alaska’s Best is an incredible seafood boil experience from start to finish. Being family-run gives the whole experience a warm, personal feel, and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The boat ride out to the boil made the experience even more memorable, with beautiful scenery along the way. The seafood was delicious and fresh—an experience I’d definitely recommend!
5Once in a life time
Once in a life time adventure , with the best tour guide and caption ! The food was top notch . This exceeded my expectations, ending with a whale sighting .
5Beautiful, peaceful and delicious.
To start, there was a preplanned shuttle from the ship to the dock. From there, the staff was ready, organized, friendly, and courteous. They had transportation ready for us. All we had to do was hop on the boat. Emerson was our tour guide and Adam was our captain. Both were exceptional. Emerson made the tour very personal and he was very knowledgeable. The captain was also very helpful and he knew the lay of the land! When you first get there, you’re taken in a BEAUTIFUL trial. The food was 10/10, you can’t beat it. When you get seated, it is a full spread. They are just so friendly!! ALSO we saw humpback whale!!

About Ketchikan
Ketchikan, in the Alaska Panhandle, is a rainy fishing town of stilted boardwalks and totem poles, set among the forests and fjords of the Inside Passage.
Ketchikan clings to the shore of Revillagigedo Island in Southeast Alaska, squeezed between steep forested hills and the water of the Inside Passage. Houses and boardwalks stand on stilts above Ketchikan Creek, where Creek Street, a lane of old buildings on pilings, once formed the red-light district. The town calls itself the salmon capital of the world, and the creek fills with spawning salmon in late summer.
Top-ranked sights in Ketchikan: Tongass National Forest, Creek Street, Saxman Native Village.
